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 further than our Follow Kids programs:

On SUNDAYS at our 10:30am Service..

Follow Kids runs through the entire service on Sunday mornings. We have a tailored Follow Kids to help our young ones to grow in faith, develop lasting friendships, while having a whole heap of fun.

CRECHE (0-3 yrs): Children are more then welcome in the main service, however we also have a dedicated space for parents to care for their young ones in more private space. The service is live streamed, and there are fun toys and books to keep little ones occupied.

KINDER - Grade 6: Follow Kids runs though the entire service, and includes group times, as well as small groups for our Kinders, Prep-Grade 2's, grade 3-4's, and grades 5-6's.

On SATURDAYS at our 5pm Service...

At our Saturday service, kids join their parents in the main service during worship, and then head out to their own tailored program that helps our young ones to grow in faith, develop lasting friendships, while having a whole heap of fun.

CRECHE (0-3 yrs): Children are more then welcome in the main service, however the Saturday site also has a dedicated cry room that parents can use to care fore their little ones, whilst still viewing and listening to the service.

KINDER - Grade 6: Follow Kids on Saturdays runs as a big group, with teaching, activities and craft for all ages.

CHILD REGISTRATIONS ESSENTIAL:

In order to create a safe environment for all our kids and volunteers, every child needs to be registered for these programs. This is a simple process, and only needs to be done the first time they take part.

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 provide holiday activity packs available at the Hub which can be collected at the beginning of the service.

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 between the inside basketball court and the auditorium 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.
