Sundays

A place for children to belong

During term-time Sundays, Park Kids runs during the second part of the service for primary-aged children. The group makes space for Bible stories, prayer, games, creativity, questions, and friendship.

What to expect

Faith, friendship, and fun

We want children to feel safe, known, and included as part of the whole church family.

Bible and prayer

Children explore faith through age-appropriate Bible teaching, simple prayer, and space to ask honest questions.

Games and creativity

Sessions include playful, practical activities that help children take part and remember what they are learning.

Known by name

Our leaders work to make Park Kids welcoming, consistent, and caring for children and families.

First Sundays

All In Sundays

On the first Sunday of the month, every generation worships together in the main service. Children are not just tolerated in the room; they are part of the church family.

  • Every generation worships together.
  • The service is shaped so children can participate.
  • Families are welcome even when children make noise or need to move around.
