As a church we believe that our children are the future. They deserve the very best that we have to offer. We recognise that even the very tiniest can know God’s love and the welcome of his church family.
Kids@Crookes shares the same vision as the church at large, that is, to meet friends, meet God and live life better. For our children this means creating opportunities for them to experience God as well as learn about him, encouraging them to nurture strong, healthy relationships with family, friends and school communities and to live out their trust in God, each and every day.
We aim to create an environment where the children can begin to grapple with the big questions of life and discover for themselves the wonder and mystery of meeting with God through worship, prayer and through his word.
We want to create an environment of safety, security, challenge, love, nurture, encouragement and authenticity; a place where the kids can express themselves and be affirmed in who God has made them to be.
We encourage the kids to live out their faith every day of their lives, showing others the reality and joy of living life with God and calling others to join in the adventure.
In everything we do, we want to creatively communicate the love of God and the radical good news of the kingdom to the children of our church. We are committed to raising spirit-filled disciples who live for the King and share the kingdom with others.
