Journey Kids

|
At The Journey Christian Church we are committed to seeing children getting to know God and developing a relationship with Him. We want to support children as they grow and learn in an environment where they are cared for, encouraged and have heaps of fun! At The Journey Christian Church we have a variety of relevant and child-centred activities for children of all ages, both on Sundays and during the week. We have a great team of leaders and helpers who help run our programmes. The safety of our children is very important and so all of our leaders are screened and must undergo a Police Check. For further information please contact Alice Parsons (Children's & Families Pastor) at the church office. |

Once a month we have Kids Worship. This is a great time for the children to participate in relevant worship. We have a small band which includes both children and adults. Children from Sunbeams age and up participate in Kids Worship. Elizabeth Downs 4pm Service At our 5.30pm service we are developing a programme to cater for the children that attend. In a relaxed atmosphere the children participate in a variety of activities and a short devotion and prayer time. |

Journey Kids Playgroup Our Playgroup has been running for a number of years and currently has sessions on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9.30am to 11.15am. Our Playgroup is held at Golden Grove Uniting Church. Each week the children participate in a variety of free play activities, as well as craft and singing. Throughout the year, Playgroup has a number of special theme days and events. Each of our sessions has a leadership team, although all parents are asked to help with packing up, preparing morning tea and supervising their own children. Families are required to pay a Playgroup Association insurance fee once a year, as well as a minimal term fee to cover the cost of resources. |

New Parents & Bubs This is a group for new parents with children up to approximately 1 year old. This group meets on Thursday mornings from 11.00am - 12.30pm at the Golden Grove campus of the church. This is an opportunity for new parents to chat, relax, have a cuppa and support each other. |
| Each year we take children who are 7-12 years old to Kids Camp Out (KCO). KCO is run by the Uniting Church in South Australia and involves an overnight camp at Adelaide Shores Caravan Park with 2000 other children! It is 24 hours of non-stop fun! | At Christmas we also have a special Christmas Eve service involving the children. They all get dressed up and with the help of some adults, creatively tell the Christmas story through singing, drama and dance. | |
| Super Sunday is our annual community event for children and families. Usually held in September/October this day involves the children leading the 10am service as well as an afternoon of fun for the whole family including food, jumping castle, old fashioned races, clowns and more. |
