We love kids, youth and families at St James Berala. No matter what their age or stage, we have something for your kids
If you have any questions about any of our kids or youth ministries, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Kids Church on Sundays
Our Sunday Morning Family Church service has a full kids programme, catering for kids who are in preschool to year 6. We start church together as a family, and then about half way through the service the kids get to head out to their own Kids Church. We would love your kids to join our kids program, but if you'd prefer them to remain with you in the main service - that's totally fine. A little noise doesn't bother us!
The Parents Room is in the downstairs hall. It’s a place where parents can take your infants and toddlers to play with toys. The service is livestreamed so you can supervise your children while still being able to watch the service.
Sparkles
(2-4 years)
Our Sparkles group is for preschool-aged children. Your child will be looked after by experienced and well trained volunteers and will learn about Jesus in an age-appropriate way. You are welcome to stay with your child if you wish.
FireWORKS
(Kindergarten to year 2)
Our Fireworks group is for kids who are in Kindergarten, year 1 or year 2 at school. It's fun, exciting, and is a great way for your child to learn more about Jesus. The leaders are all experienced and well trained volunteers - and will be great with your kid.
Flames
(Year 3-6)
Our Flames group is for kids who are in year 3 to 6 at primary school. Children will have fun as they learn about the big picture of the Bible and are given opportunities to ask questions. They pray together, play games and are mentored by well-trained leaders.
Programs During the Week
IGNITE
(Year 6-12)
Ember is our Youth Group, and meets on Friday nights during school term at 7:00-9:00pm at the Church building. It's fun, relevant, a great way to meet friends and to learn about Jesus from our experienced and well trained volunteer leaders.
MUSIC TIME
(0-5 years)
Music time is on Thursday mornings 9:30 to 11:00am during school term. It starts with playtime, at 10:00am we enjoy half an hour of songs and then the children eat morning tea (BYO) and/or have more free play time.
