Kids at Penshurst

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” (Matthew 19.14)

Jesus loves little children and so do we!

Every Sunday we run a program to help our kids learn about God and His great love for us.

Kids start with their parents in our service. They spend time with the rest of the church singing and praying and then head off to a program specifically oriented at engaging kids with the truths of Scripture.

During this time kids will have an opportunity to:

  • Hear stories about God

  • Do craft linked to the story

  • Memorise parts of the Bible

  • Sing fun and interactive songs about God

  • Watch videos helping explain Biblical truth

Our kids program is targeted at kids from pre school (3 years) to children in school (Year 5). Those with 2 year olds can attend with a carer; there are also rooms available in the church building for parents who wish to attend the service with children aged 0-2yrs.

It’s important to us that our kids are in a safe environment and every child is cared for. All teachers complete a Safe Ministries course run by the Presbyterian Church (https://breakingthesilence.org.au/training/) prior to beginning their involvement and hold a current Working With Children Check.
