St Johns - Primary

What's available for my kids at St Johns?

9:30am Service

We welcome children of all ages to our 9.30am service. We have a play area at the back of the church for younger children, where we provide toys and activities, and are developing a structured program for older kids. During the service we include a children's talk.

5pm Service

5pm Kids’ Church is offered in the church hall during the sermon. The children at 5pm are encouraged to take part in the service itself, and often help with singing at the front of church. Kids’ Church starts in the hall after the opening worship time; games and activities, Bible stories, and interactive discussion stimulate their exploration of the Bible and Christian issues.

Upper Primary

We are working towards a Friday afternoon kids' club. Watch this space...

Safe Ministry

St John’s is committed to the highest standards of care & safety in our programmes for children and youth. All adult staff and volunteers in these programmes have a Working With Children Check as required by law. Additionally, they must also complete ‘Safe Ministry Training’ and have a refresher every 3 years. The church has a Safe Ministry Representative who monitors the currency and record-keeping for these accreditations.
