Children, Kids and Families

We believe that God put the wiggle in children and we should let them wiggle! Children have a special part to play in the life of our churches.

children of all ages are incredibly welcome at all of our services and they can make as much noise as they would like!

All three of our churches have activities particularly welcoming for families and children. We offer family services, breakfast church, bacon butty sundays, all with the idea of welcoming families to be part of the church family. This helps us all to grow closer to one another and to Jesus. We believe that children are not just the future of the church, but are an important part of the church today which is why our services aim to be safe and engaging spaces for all Gods children to learn about Jesus.

The church in school:

We’re also passionate about supporting the education of local children here in West Berks. One of the ways we do this is by working closely with Basildon Primary School (CofE). Members of the church regularly visit and lead collective worship services and we work closely with the school leadership team to promote holistic care for the children. Further to this we support the school financially with items or projects needed at a given time. Special services are held in the church each term at significant points in the Christian Calendar and they are a huge highlight for us. It is a privilege to partner with a wonderful school and share in their journey together.
