A Children and Youth Friendly Church
Children and young people play a full part in the life of the church. On Sunday mornings children spend part of their time in the church including at communion and part in their own group. We hold a monthly Messy Church on a Monday evening after school. We have a group for parents/carers and babies and toddlers on a Wednesday morning in term time and a full range of scout groups – Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts on Friday evenings, also in term time
