Children and Families
Welcome!
Welcome to St Barnabas!
Our desire is for children to feel valued and celebrated in the life of the church, and for their relationship with God to flourish. Children are equal disciples of Jesus, and our heart is for them to experience God for themselves through teaching, praise, creativity, play and fellowship. We value your family and would love to meet you!
All team members are DBS checked and have completed Safeguarding Training.
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me. Don’t stop them, because God’s kingdom belongs to people who are like these children”. Matthew 19:14

Sundays Mornings
Our weekly Children’s Church meets each Sunday during the Sunday service. Children are welcome to join our Children’s Church team for stories, crafts & activities, worship, prayer & praise, games and more! Snacks and drinks are provided. Once a month, there is opportunity for secondary school aged children to join a youth session, running at the same time as Children’s Church.
During the Sunday Service, families with smaller children are welcome to make use of our Baby & Toddler area in the church foyer. Don’t worry about missing the service, it will be streamed through the foyer speakers!
