We want kids to have loads of fun , and to grow in knowing who Jesus is and what it means to live by faith in him.
We prayerfully long for kids to grow up to know and trust in Jesus for themselves for their whole lives. All the kids' work runs to support parents in discipling their children.
Sundays for kids
Every Sunday Service we provide fun filled activity sessions. The kids join us for the first part of the service, and there's a slot especially for them, and then go out to their age groups. We have around 50 people who serve on our kids teams to help them grow to become more like Jesus.
Age groups:
- 0-2 yrs | Babies
- 2-4 yrs | Tots
- 5-7 | Mini Kids
- 7-11 | Kids
- 11-18 | YConnect ( alternating weeks)
If you'd like your baby to stay with you throughout the service, there's seating and a speaker in the hallway so you can still listen, but without the concern of noise.
All kids need to be registered for their group before they attend
Or you can fill it in on the day. You'll find the registration forms with the Welcome team at the 'New Here Start Here' area in the main hall.
yConnect is our ministry for 11-18yr olds
yConnect
yConnect meet-ups take place every Friday evening at 7:30 PM at the church centre (12-14 Gildart Street, L3 8ET) and are for 11-18-year-olds.
A typical yConnect evening is full of fun and games, with an interactive section for thinking about faith and Christianity as they look at the bible. Friends are always welcome and once a month there's a 'main event' - a Friday night event focused on engaging and inviting friends to come along.
3 Sunday mornings of the month there is a yConnect group during the Sunday morning service for school years 7-9. The other Sunday, yConnect join the rest of the church for the morning service.
Weekend Away
Some time in February, we head off to spend a weekend together, deepening friendships, studying the Bible and having a lot of fun!
We would love for everyone to be reminded of how awesome God is, grow in faith and a desire to trust and follow Jesus everyday….and have a lot of fun without too much chaos!!
Hope in Cumbria
Hope Cumbria is a 7-day residential ‘camp’ for 11-18 year-olds. There are a whole variety of activities that kids (and leaders!) can do throughout the week, but also morning dorm bible studies and evening meetings with bible teaching and worship.
We encourage all our youth to go each summer if they would like to.

You're welcome to our Stay and Play, a playgroup for under 5s during term time.
We know parenting can be hard and it's very easy to feel lonely and overwhelmed, that's why we want to bring people together to support each other and create a life giving community.
The session includes playtime, song time and story time, and snack for the little ones.
There are refreshments for carers and parents.
There's a suggested donation of £1 for regulars to cover costs.
