Children and Youth Programs
Children and Youth are always welcome in the main service, however if you are looking for something tailored to them, look no futher than our Follow Kids and Little Followers Crèche Program.
Follow Kids and Little Followers Crèche is a fun engaging program that aims to raise up followers of Jesus through fun, engaging, age appropriate safe learning programs.
Our program is split into three age groups:
Little Followers Crèche: 1-4 years old
Junior Kids: Prep to Grade 2
Senior Kids: Grade 3 to Grade 6
The children start the Sunday morning in the main service before heading over to Follow Kids & Crèche after the 1-minute welcome.
Please note that for all our kids programs you are required to sign your children in and out in order to maintain a safe environment for all children, youth and leaders.
This is not limited to our Sunday programs only.

Designated space for Bubs and Toddlers
If your young one is under our age criteria for Follow Kids or they'd like to stay with you in the main service, we have designated the back right hand corner of the auditorium for young families. You will also find that we reserve the back rows for parents with prams.
School Holidays
During school holidays, we encourage and invite children to join in the service with their families as our kids and youth programs do not run in the holidays. We do have holiday activity packs available at the Hub.
Youth
Our Youth group meets on Friday at 7:00pm. For more information on Follow Youth please check out their page here
During the Service
The Sunday Service starts at 10:30am.
Pre-service prayer is held each week downstairs in the room next to the kitchen from 9.30am to 10.15am prior to the church service. All are welcome to join. Post-service prayer is always available after the service.
Our coffee cart is open before and after the service with all proceeds going towards the missions we support.
A countdown to the service will start at 10:25am and will be displayed on the projector.
From there, the Service Host or Worship Team will start the service either with a brief introduction or in song.
Typically, the kids will be invited to head to Follow Kid's Church during the 1 minute welcome where parents are required to walk them over and check them in.
We worship together in song for a total of 4-5 songs throughout the service amongst announcements and the message.
One of our pastors or guest speakers brings a message from the Bible and will speak for around 25-30 minutes. The messages are usually part of a series. Past Sermons Series can be found here.
On the first Sunday of the month, we share in communion also known as "The Lords Supper". This is a special practice for followers of Jesus as we remember what Jesus has done for us.
Communion elements will be stationed around the auditorium and are labelled if they are gluten free.
After the service is GOLD time for building relationships, so don't rush off. Tea, coffee and a light morning tea are available.
