The Children's Ministry at St Michael's is focused on children from aged 0 to 11; older children are supported by our youth ministry.
There are 5 children's groups attached to the 10:30 service.
Each group tries to meet the children where they are, while encouraging them to think about their relationship with Jesus while having fun doing relevant activities.
Creche - this is for 0 to 3 year olds and meets in the coffee shop. It is very informal and the children are encouraged to have fun playing with the toys.
Bubbles - for children from 3 years old, up to Reception age. The children in Bubbles have lots of little 5 minute activites, which will include a Bible story, crafts and games.
Splash - for children in Years 1 and 2 at school. In Splash, the children still like to move around and explore, so we do lots of action based stories where the children join in telling the bible story and then use crafts and games to explore the theme of the story.
X-Stream - this group is for Years 3 and 4 at school, and as well as having Bible stories, crafts and games, the children are given the opportunity to chat about what they think about the story and what it means to them.
Pathfinders - this is for Years 5 and 6 and as well as meeting on a Sunday and exploring Bible stories together and using lots of games and competitions to look at different themes, they have a social each term
which includes activities like bowling, film evenings, treasure hunts and barbecues.
