Children and Youth
0-2’S
Cafe area for Parents with 0– 2 year olds.
We love seeing our little ones in church. You are very welcome to bring your babies into our service and we don’t mind at all if they are a little unsettled. However, if you feel more comfortable taking them out for a little bit, please use our Cafe area at the back of the Chapel or the Oasis Room on the side. They have sound feeds from the service so you can still hear the main service.
3-12’s
After worshipping with you in the service for the first bracket of songs, the children will be taken upstairs (above the reception) to the lounge area. The children learn in a mixed age environment with Bible story’s, songs, snacks, activities and crafts. All carers are Police checked and you are very welcome to attend with your child. Parents/Carers will need to come up the stairs to pick up their younger children as soon as the church service has ended.
13-19’s
Engraved Youth meet in a room downstairs to hang out together doing games,building friendships and learning more about what faith in God looks like for a teenager. We also run a youth social event every week on Fridays at the church usually starting at 6.30pm.
We want to welcome you here at Fairfield Baptist Church. We have a number of activities available for our children and teenagers and welcome your family to join in. All our children and youth volunteers are Police-checked and will welcome your family, letting them know they are a valued part of both God’s family and the FBC family. We have a check-in system with a roll taken as the children arrive upstairs as a safety measure. Parents collect their younger children from upstairs at the end of the service.
Take-it-home materials are part of our programmes to help parents talk with their children and young people about God at home.
We are currently running our children’s and youth programmes in services during the school terms.
Our Children and Families Ministry Leader is Karyn Woodhouse and our Youth Ministry Leader is Iunisi Katoa. Feel free to contact them.
Sundays at FBC
To the parents of young children, may we suggest…
Relax! God put the wiggle in children; don’t feel you have to suppress it in God’s house. All are welcome!
Sit toward the front where it is easier for your little ones to see and hear what is going on.
Quietly explain the parts of the service and encourage them to participate.
