Kids are most welcome, we love having them as part of our church family!
Our groups are a space for kids to have fun, experience Jesus, make friends, and grow in their faith through singing, stories, crafts, snacks and play each Sunday at our 10:45am service.
Our Groups
Giraffes
Primary School
Ages 4 Years+
Giraffes are the tallest mammal in the world. They are not afraid to stand out and stand tall, but are known for being peaceful in nature and love being with their friends.
Our little STW giraffes are growing too, they may never be as tall as a wild giraffe, but we're praying they are not afraid to stand tall, confident in all God has made them to be.
Elephants
Pre-Primary School
Ages 1-4 Years
In the wild, elephants live in tightly bonded groups and are ready to have fun and care for one another.
Our little STW elephants may be little now, but they're growing, getting ready to make a big stomp in the world.
Creche
Babies
Ages 0-1 Years
Please feel free to use our Crèche space at any point. There is a live link to listen along to the service and some toys for your little ones so you can stay connected to the service during feeding or baby meltdowns!
Kids are most welcome at St Werburgh's. We love having them as part of our church family!
