Youth & Children
We have lots going on here at St Andrew’s for children and young people. Starting with our Baby and Toddler group, right through to ‘StAY’ for our 14-18 year olds.
The exact mix of activities we run varies from time to time, if you have any questions or would like to know more about any group please contact our church office or speak to a member of the staff team.
Sunday Mornings
Creche, Bible Tots, Climbers, Explorers
We make special provision for children at our 10.30am service. We run a range of fun Bible-based activities for all children aged between 18 months and 14 years and also a managed crèche for babies and toddlers aged 0-18 months, if parents want it. All our groups are run by fully DBS and child protection-trained members of the church family who love children/young people and love to teach them about Jesus from the Bible in an age-appropriate way.
