Children and Families

Held during both the 8.00 am and 10.00 am services for children aged between 2 and 11.  We currently have regular attendances of over 200 children per week.

Sunday School is organised by age groups:

2 Year Age Group (The Rainbow Group):

• The 1 – 2-year olds meet in the Cooke’s House for fellowship.  There are books, toys, and crafts available. There is an audio link to the church so you can follow the service.

3 Year Age Group:

• The 2-3 year olds follow a programme of Bible lessons for Toddlers where children follow flexible interactive activities so they can learn about God and Jesus through themed Bible stories, games, puzzles, crafts and play.

The 3-5 Year Age Group:

• The 3-5 year olds have lessons from ’Tiddlywinks’ and “All in one Bible Fun” which helps the children explore the Bible from a new perspective, developing a love for and a relationship with the Bible as they learn and play together.

The 5-11 Year Age Group:

• A Sunday School curriculum from Youthworks called Click is used: it is Bible-based and child orientated.  It is subdivided into modules to cater for different levels of child development as follows:
  • Blue Click:  also called “Adventure” is for 5-7’s to help them grow in their knowledge of God and their faith in Jesus – the greatest adventure of them all.
  • Red Click:   also called “Over the Top” is geared to 8-11’s who enjoy learning and seeing things in new interesting ways. This module aims at extending their knowledge of God and their faith in Jesus.
• Each Click level runs a 10 week programme with a specific focus I.e. What has God done for his people?
• Further information on the Click programme can be found at CEP kids@church.
