First Steps (0-3year) is the start of our Youth Church. We meet in a caring and nurturing environment where young children are taught about God's love for them. This done through Bible stories, activities and songs.  Our structure is very flexible as to the age and needs of our little ones.

Children aged 5 to 8 love to play , be creative, use their energy, explore new ideas and enjoy old favourites. They have a great capacity for friendship and empathy for anyone in trouble. They can have a depth of spirituality which can be both matter of fact and breathtaking.

We have a good sized group, averaging seven youngsters each week. At present we share with Xtreme, joining in some activities with them whilst having our own time to explore the Bible.

Children aged 8 to 11 want to have fun! They enjoy being with their friends and are growing increasingly independent. Most still like the opportunity to play games and to be creative, but they will shy away from anything that feels too babyish. Their capacity to learn is enormous. Drama is frequently used to get into the Bible which many of them really enjoy, performing to the younger Splash group and they now want to perform before the whole church.

Again we have a good sized group, averaging out to about eight youngsters each week. We are beginning to see friends being invited along and this is a great ministry these youngsters enjoy.
