Children are a vital part of our church family at St. John’s.

Our goal is to ensure that each child is supported and encouraged to know the Love of God and develop the gifts that they have been given by God. We hope that each child will know much they are loved by God and what an incredible gift they are to the Body of Christ. We do this through God's Word to us, the Bible, and understanding the Bible faithfully and applying it to our lives is a key part of our life at St. John's, regardless of our age. 

​

Children's Ministry staff and volunteers are trained in diocesan safety policies.

All of our volunteers are screened and have completed criminal and vulnerable sector record checks. The protection and safety of our children is our priority at St. Johns.

​

This year in Children's Ministry:

 

• Our Curriculum is Scripture Union (Red), for ages 4-11 years old.

• Children are invited to come downstairs for Children's Ministry (which is held in the Lesser Hall) just after the first reading. Whoever is leading the worship service will let you know when to leave; just follow the group to find out where to go.

• We begin our session by gathering as a group, getting to know each other better.

• After presenting a theme from our  Bible passage for the day, we split into  groups (based on age) to reflect further.

• Children return to worship during the peace or offertory song.
