Sunday School is held each Sunday morning during the Worship and Communion service, in a separate room from the main Sunday morning worship, and works very closely with the All Stars (which is held each Wednesday evening from 5 pm – 6:30 pm) and is a combination of Bible stories/quizzes/singing and games, although with a greater emphasis on teaching than the All Stars.
The Point is held each Friday evening. The aim is to help in the spiritual growth of the youth by gathering together and discussing topics which are of interest and concern to young people.
The format of the Little Glimmers group is one hour’s play for the children, whilst parents relax with other church members.
Missionary Department – Regular giving by the Church Members to various overseas projects. In 2023 the following missionaries and organisations were supported:
-
➢ All Nations for Christ Bible Institute and support for two Bible students there in Nigeria
