Extra help is welcome, as a result of a large increase in the numbers of parents and children attending. Volunteers are needed to be part of this exciting opportunity with a rapidly growing daytime ministry for the local community.

Rainbows is a first step into the guiding association groups for girls aged 5-7 years. The group meets every Thursday from 5.15-6.00pm.

Brownies is for girls from 7 yrs of age. The group meets every Monday and Thursday from 6.00-7.30pm.

Choc 'n' Chat

Choc ‘n’ Chat is a Cell group for Year 5 and 6 children and meets fortnightly, currently on a Friday evening from 6.30-7.30pm.

We feel that the Cell group is an important part of developing the children’s personal faith. It gives them the opportunity to meet in a small group to discuss various areas of the Christian life and to ask questions as well as allowing them to develop relationships with other group members.

We run a programme of study and social events. The children are very welcome to bring along their Year 5 or 6 friends at any time.
