Junior Church

‘Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me….’                     (Matthew 18: 5)

Junior Church meet on Sunday morning at 11.00.

 Our children enjoy many activities including Bible study, games, drama, cooking and crafts.  We occasionally cook breakfasts or lunches to raise money for various charities.

  The children are split into various age groups.  We have a crèche for very young children and parents are very welcome to stay with their children if they would like.  We also have a room in which you can stay during the morning service, which has a speaker system, so that parents can listen to the service whilst their children play.

 There is no cost for Junior Church.  For further information please contact Maureen Richardson on 0121 523 6373.

The value of children to the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ is made clear in the gospels and so we share a vision that children are the church of today.

“I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.”            (Matthew 18: 3-4)

A child is not a church of the future, but a church of today and we want to encourage them to recognise their role in the mission and ministry of our Lord. Our work with children and young people is therefore crucial to our mission and vision.

Each Sunday morning we have a Junior Church led by a group of committed leaders who take responsibility for different age groups. Come and join us on a Sunday morning or check out the details here >>>>>>>>>> (Junior Church)

We also support the Before and After School Club run by the Salvation Army and the Pre-school group and feel this is an important contribution to the community and our Christian witness through the building >>>>>>>>>>>(Salvation Army)

The inter-action between children across the boundaries of faith and culture is important for their learning and growing so we run the JC Kidzz Club on alternate Thursday with different activities in which we try to encourage the creative gifts all children have >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>(JC Kidzz Club)

Four times a year the Church plans a Play Day with a variety of activities for 5 to 11 year olds and that is very popular. For dates and details >>>>>>>>>> (Play Day)

Our work with the Scout group has been reduced since they moved from the Elmwood site but we still retain a relationship with them and more details can be obtained >>>>>>>>>>>>> (Scouts)
