“Welcome to our Children’s Church, friends and fun for everyone!” 

Children’s Church takes place in a variety of forms throughout the week as we understand that people learn about and discover and encounter God in different ways. 

Our main Children’s Church gathering is on Sundays at 10:30am.  Throughout the year, we come together in church for All Age Services to mark and celebrate the many wonderful festivals on our church calendar, such as Harvest, Easter and Christmas.  On other Sundays, we have separate worship activities which run alongside the main Sunday Eucharist. Children and young people have the option of an outdoor experience with our Earth Church, or indoor activities with crafts and games in the nearby church hall, Faithspace. 

We welcome all children from new-borns to 18, and of course, this includes all members of the family, as well friends and carers. 

Our sessions are created by our leaders and are tailored to meet the needs of our children and young people. Our Children’s Church Sunday worship follows the lectionary, and at the start of our Sunday services, a member of our team shares the Children’s Church message in church with the whole church family.   We pride ourselves on being resourceful, with both our expenses and our use of materials. Our Earth Church endeavours to use as many recycled and natural resources as possible as we work together to treasure God’s beautiful creation. 

Our weekly Toddler Church sessions are currently paused whilst we prepare to launch them again as Little Leaders.

Throughout lockdown, we provided opportunities for online worship, and this opened doors to new and creative ways of using our space, both virtually and physically. Since then, we have endeavoured to maintain a programme of blended worship, combining sessions online and in person.

At St Mary Redcliffe, we are fully committed to the safeguarding of our children. Each member of our team is safely recruited and for all our children’s ministry we adhere to guidance as set out by the Church of England. We do ask that all members of our children’s church complete an emergency contact form. 

Please note that our main church services are live-streamed.  For more information about this or any of our children’s ministry, please contact Keilah, our Children's and Families worker: keilah.cadogan@stmaryredcliffe.co.uk
