Hope Kids

We are passionate about the next generation growing in their faith and discovering more about God.

Our 5-11 year olds leave the main service after around 20 minutes and then go into Hope Kids where our leaders run sessions that include games, worship, teaching, stories and craft. Each child will be checked in and parents will be issued with a ticket for collection to ensure safeguarding.

Planning

We plan our material with care using sources such as Urban Saints or Scripture Union since they are specifically designed for this age group and provide a good variety and style of teaching materials.

Safeguarding

All leaders of Hope Kids have been passed by the Disclosure and Barring Service to ensure safeguarding standards are aligned to those of the safeguarding charity ThirtyOneEight (for more information see the charity’s website at thirtyoneeight.org).

“We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders… so the next generation might know them — even the children not yet born—and they in turn will teach their own children. So each generation should set its hope anew on God, not forgetting his glorious miracles and obeying his commands.”

Psalm 78: 4,6-7
