That is what we want to be doing in regard to the children and young people that we are working with in the church.

There are so many negative influences at work in the lives of children and young people today and we are longing to share the good news of Jesus with as many of them as we can. To share the wonderful news that God has good plans and purposes for their lives, and that he is seeking only the best for them.

We cannot rely anymore on our pets to teach our children the Christian faith! Its our responsibility

Our Childrens Ministry at the moment is restricted to Sunday mornings. We have a team of adults who teach the children in a variety of ways using Scripture Union and other appropriate  material

From January 2008 on the first Sunday of the month the children will be going to their groups, watching Christian D.v.d.s and other activities. On the middle 2 Sundays the children go to their groups for teaching. And on the 4th Sunday we have a 'Great Big God Session' with teaching, games and worship in the rooms in the community centre.

Children may be little but they can have a lionheart for Jesus.
