We love that there are so many children at CityGates! Through partnering with parents and carers, and under the sovereignty of God, we long for our children and young people here at CityGates to know Jesus, to love Jesus, to stand for Jesus and to live for Jesus.
Sundays
We aim to teach Jesus faithfully and relevantly so that he is the foundation of children’s lives. To support families growing together, our children’s and youth groups follow along with what the adults are learning in the main service through age-appropriate activities. After spending the first part of the service with the whole church family, our young people leave for their groups (please see our toddlers and youth page to see more of our Sunday groups).
Seedlings
Reception to Year 2 // 9:30am and 11:15am
A lively, active, fun group! We play games, make crafts, have snacks, and spend lots of time learning about Jesus through activities, talks, and asking questions about the Bible.
Roots
Years 3 to 5 // 9:30am and 11:15am
Just like seedlings, we play games, make crafts, and enjoy snacks! And we love to learn from God’s word together through talks, looking at the Bible, activities, and discussions.
You’ll always find a friendly face in our kids’ groups - it’s a great time together and we’d love to see you! If you’re new, our youth and children’s teams, or stewards, will be able to direct you to the right place on a Sunday! If you have any questions before you come to visit us, please feel free to contact us with the form below – we’d love to hear from you.
JAM
4-11s // Fortnightly Wednesdays during term-time // 6pm - 7pm // @CityGates
A jam-packed hour of fun: games, crafts, activities, tuck shop, and so much more! We have talks from the Bible to find out about Jesus, and we also have a social at least once a term (sometimes more!), which might be a trip out somewhere or a special event at church.
