Little Church is a creche program for children aged 1-5 year olds . It begins before church so parents have time to settle their littles one in. Drop off starts from 9.50am. Little Church kids are dropped off and collected from the playground gate (see below) and enjoy playing in our outdoor area, sad pit, ball, pit, cubby house, riding bikes and scooters! After some yummy morning tea, they then head inside for singing, story time and craft. There are dress ups, dolls, car tracks and other toys to be enjoyed inside before pick up time.

Partnering with parents in growing their children to know and love God is our prime focus. The family spot talk helps demonstrate to parents the language they can use to talk to their kids about the passage we are all learning about.
