With you every step of the way
A church where everyone can find a home
Those early years of nursery and school can be quite the juggling act!

Children are really important to us, and it’s important to us that young children feel at home in their church which we know will come with some noise and energy depending on their mood!
Each Sunday we have some fantastic provision for our children. Normally, they will join us at the start of the service and then go out with Dee and her team to enjoy their own session and let off some much needed steam! Sometimes we have a fun filled family service (for things such as Harvest) at which point they stay in, playing a full part in all that’s going on.
For those younger, and indeed, for any children who would prefer to stay in the service there is a children’s area where they can explore all that’s on offer during the service. Also, as they get older, many of our children play an active role in our services by doing things such as reading and being the acolytes (carrying the candles) which we love!
After the service, we all gather for coffee and biscuits, and our children get well and truly spoilt!
Church is a wonderful way for children to get comfortable speaking to a wide range of people, and gives their adults some space to reflect on the week and get a hot drink too at the end of it!
Looking for something simple to do with the kids for half an hour or so; perhaps on your way to the park or into town?
Why not pop into St George’s and explore the church together?
We’ve created a FREE adventure trail for younger children – just pick up a trail sheet and start exploring!
A chance to discover the building, spot hidden details, and enjoy a little adventure in a cool and special place.
It’s ideal for families, grandparents, carers, and home-educated primary-aged children looking for a fun and engaging activity.
Everyone is very welcome.
