Children & Families
(toddlers - 6th class)
Our heartbeat is that children would experience the love of God and learn how to live life with God.
Sunday Gatherings
Doors open at 10.30am, and our gathering starts with space to connect over a hot cuppa before we move into a time of sung worship at 11am (or so).
After worshipping all together, children are invited upstairs for their ‘kids church’, which is split up into three different age-groups:
Jr/Sr Infants (4-5yrs)
1-3rd Class (6-9yrs)
4-6th Class (10-12yrs)
*Parents need to sign their kids in at each classroom and then pick their kids up after the gathering and sign them out.
*All of our volunteers are Garda vetted and are Safeguarding Trust trained.
(Read more about our current curriculum below)
There is a Family Room at the back of the church dedicated to parents/carers of babies & toddlers, with couches, toys, a changing table, & a TV to watch & listen to the main gathering.

As much as our incredible volunteer team fosters the faith of kids on a Sunday, we know that the deepest discipleship happens at home.
Below are some resources to empower creative (& realistic) faith-habits in the home.

*A note from the Children & Families Pastor:
“Hey families!
While I’m back in the US transferring to a different visa, the amazing Mischa Castle has stepped in as Interim Children & Families Pastor. I’m still working remotely, driving curriculum and admin (and praying for you all heaps!), but Mischa is on the ground facilitating kids church on a Sunday and providing pastoral care.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch with either of us!
Mountains of love,
Taylor”
