9.00am Sunday

Kid's Church

During our 9am service each Sunday during the school term, our creche and ‘Alive Kids’ program runs for children from 1 years old – grade 6 age. We provide a safe and fun environment for kids to learn, play and build relationships through age-appropriate activities. Kid’s Church is free. Arrive a few minutes early to the service and make your way to our Alive Kids check-in desk in the foyer.

9.00am Sunday

Emerge

Emerge is for our junior high schoolers (grades 7-9) and runs fortnightly during our 9am Sunday service alongside Kid’s church. Teens can explore issues relevant to their life stage through a biblical lens, helping them navigate their world with a strong, resilient faith. Issues such as social media, peer pressure, temptations, high school difficulties, and moving toward adulthood are all discussed, with a focus on Jesus’ teaching and ways.

They hang out on Friday nights to enjoy food, music, activities, and a short youth service, as well connecting in year-level mentor groups, led my a young adult leader.
