WELCOME to the children's ministry at The Light Church! We are passionate that every baby, toddler and child knows they are loved by God and are intentionally welcomed as part of our church family. In Mark 10:13 Jesus says “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."
With that in mind our children's ministry team are trained, equipped, ready and waiting to come alongside our children, encouraging them to love Jesus, enjoy the bible and listen to the Holy Spirit. We are firm believers that every child is created to have a relationship with Jesus and . We take pride in how we foster those relationships relevant to each age and in creative and engaging ways!
We currently have three groups running on a Sunday morning during our service:
Creche: Our creche group provision is for our under 3's. Together with a parent our babies and toddlers can enjoy singing, interactive storytelling and play. In this group you will find a friendly welcome from our team, a space to connect with other parents and the joy of your little one encountering Jesus in ways that suit their age and stage.
3-5's: Our pre-school and reception group. Learning about Jesus through play is a big part of the ethos in this group. Our nurturing team delight in building relationships with each child, and taking time each week to listen to what God is saying. Our children in this group regularly enjoy role play, dress up, arts and crafts, hands-on interactive bible time and space to hear from Jesus too.
5-11's: Our year 1 to year 6 group houses two groups in one. Coming together for worship and games, our big group is then split into school years 1-3 and 4-6 where children can enjoy story telling, activities and craft with peers their own age. Think big games, fun activities, kid-crazy singing and dancing and integrated chill-out spaces for those children that would appreciate some 1-2-1 time.
If you're thinking about visiting us on a Sunday and would like to know more before you do. We would be delighted to open a conversation with you. To get in touch email Rachel at racheldawson@thelightchurch.org.uk
