Grades 3-6 - Diggers
Children participate in the combined service for about 15 minutes, then separate into their own space. They learn about God using the Scripture Union (UK) material called 'Xstream'. Children are encouraged to think about their own response to God, and if they would like to, they are encouraged to participate more fully in the life of their church by leading songs and prayers, and reading the Bible in the adult service, and by helping with other areas of ministry.
Prep to Grade 2 - Shining Stars
Children participate in the combined service for about 15 minutes, then separate into their own group, and learn about God using the Scripture Union (UK) material called 'Splash!' Their programme involves Bible stories, and the messages are reinforced through craft, puzzles and games, prayer and singing.
3 - 5 years - Mustard Seeds
Children participate in the combined service for about 15 minutes, then separate into their own group. They learn about God using the Scripture Union (UK) material called 'Bubbles'. Their programme involves simple Bible stories, prayer, craft, music and play.
12 months to 3 years - Pips
'Littlies' participate in the combined service for about 15 minutes, then move to another friendly space in the building where there is more room to move and lots of children's equipment; they enjoy a craft activity based on a simple Bible concept - like, 'God loves me', 'God loves my family', or 'Jesus is the King'. We sing and dance together, make something to take home, have a little morning tea and play with various toys for about an hour. Parents are asked to come prepared for nappy changes (carers will let them know if these are needed, or if their child needs comforting), but changing equipment is available.
