Children are welcome at St Mark's Church! We encourage you to bring them to the appropriate worship services on Sundays - but check out the activities below to see how else you can encourage the young lives in your care. These activities are all held in the Church building.

Climbers, Scramblers & Explorers - Ages 3 -11
These groups meet on Sundays during the 9:30, 11:00 and 5:00 services. After a short time of worship in the service, the young people gather in age related groups to learn about the Bible through activities, song and teaching - always lively and fun!
Toddler Praise
Fridays (2nd & 4th Friday monthly) in term time. From 10:00 to 11:30 there is worship for under 5's and their carers. Songs, rhymes, dancing and prayers with responses as well as activities involving puppets, drama & stories bring the bible to life for young children.
Toddler Groups
Meets on Tuesdays (10:00 to 11:30am), Thursdays (10:00 to 11:30am) and Friday (1st, 3rd and 5th week in the month - 10:00 to 11:30am). There are 3 separate toddler groups. Each provides support for parents/carers who remain with their children during the sessions. Please contact the co-ordinator through the church office to join the wait list for your child.
