It has been encouraging to see our CV Kids ministry continue to develop momentum in 2024.
Our toddler/preschool program has been established as a regular program for our children aged before school. This program has approximately 20 core children attending through the year.
We have a passionate and well connected community of school aged kids engaging regularly in our Sunday CV Kids Primary program. This program has about 15 core children attending, as well as visitors.
It has been encouraging to see our children interacting with our wider CV Church community through our Big Day In events, and kids songs/ stories on the first Sunday of the month.
A huge thank you to our team of volunteers who support our CV Kids Ministry programs. Thank you also to our youth who serve in our kids ministry.
This year a toddler/ preschool program was created for the youngest members of our church and their families.
We have a safe and inviting space to meet, being the Oosh building. A team of dedicated and passionate leaders/ volunteers, including, Beth Hodson, Zac Gorton and Faith Chamberlain.
Our own resource and toys dedicated purposefully to the program.
We have established training video’s making it accessible and welcoming for all new volunteers who would like to serve and lead.
The children have enjoyed the predictable and familiar rhythm the program provides as we have had many regular family attendance and also some new comers which has been wonderful.
Because we have this regular rhythm and program we are excited to be able to clearly document and display what we do, making it inviting for new families joining the church so they can feel confident their children are receiving good care and teaching.
Warm regards,
Amy Maloney
Youth group runs each second and fourth Sunday of the month during the church service. The focus of youth group has been relationship and discipleship, whilst growing our confidence in the knowledge of God.
We have had two social events this year which has encouraged our youth to 'bring a friend'. These events have continued to solidify the relationships in the group.
As per feedback direct from youth members, this perfectly summarises what someone may see if they were to attend the group: "Really cool young people who come to church to learn about God with an absurd amount of snacks!"
