Children & Youth
CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
Sunday Services
Sunday mornings are family-friendly. It’s fine if young ones need playdough or move around! During part of the service, kids groups meet for under 5s and 5-11s to learn from the Bible in a creative way and play games.
Me and Mine
This is our term time Parent & Toddler group. There’s time for play, songs and a Bible story. All with refreshments for parents too – come along!


Messy Church
This runs termly for primary school aged kids and their families. We have a special theme, do fun-filled crafts, have a fun kids’ talk about Jesus and eat some great food together!
YOUTH MINISTRY

Grounded

Grounded is a discussion group based in Chelsea Academy. We explore the big questions of life and look at how Jesus Christ makes a real difference.
Chelsea Academy Youth Club
(Wednesdays in term time, 2.30-3.30pm, St John’s Church)
A safe place for students after school to have fun.


Youth Group (Thursdays, 6.15-8pm, St John’s)
For anyone aged 11-18. We start with dinner all together. Then we spend some time studying a passage from the Bible, and seeing what difference it makes for us today. We finish with a seriously fun game time.
