As a church we understand that children and young adults are just as important as adults. We are truly blessed to have a number of children from the ages of 0 -18. We believe that it is our role to compliment the work of their parents in teaching them the truths that are found within God’s word and encouraging them to grow up in to faithful and firm disciples of Jesus.
We run various groups, both on Sunday and mid-week to cover the whole spectrum of ages. Below you can find out a little more about each of these groups and if you have any queries please do not hesitate to get in touch.
During our Sunday Services, adults and children all begin our worship together in the main church. After a time of worshipping together, children and young people go for their age-appropriate groups, while the adults remain for their own Bible teaching and prayer
Sunday Tots meets in our well-stocked creche room for play, singing, some simple Bible teaching with an activity. Parents are welcome to leave their children in the care of our leaders and head back into the main service, or stay in the creche with their young ones if they’d prefer.
At St James’s we also have a toilet fitted with changing facilities.
Sunday Kids meets in our Upper Hall for Bible Teaching, prayer, games and activities.
We have a great team of volunteers who try to make this time fun and beneficial to each of the children who attend.
Every Tuesday we run a parent and child group that draws in people from all around Ryde and the neighbouring areas.
We enjoy time getting to know each other while allowing the little ones to run around and play together. We also take the opportunity to sing as a group and if it’s sunny, may be found by the beach.
Sessions are fairly regular but the best way to find out what’s going on is to stay in touch via Facebook or Instagram.
All are welcome – come along and see what we get up to.
If you have younger children Tiddlywinks is our parent and toddler group.
All Sorts is a free famlily event. Crafts, activities, food and a Bible thought.
