YOUNG PEOPLES
GROUPS
The following groups meet on a Sunday morning during the service.
There is a short talk focussed on the young people and then
they go to their groups during the service. Then they return
for the last part of the service.
Crèche [for 0-2's]
A time to play with friends while parents are in church.
Junior Church [for 3-11's]
Bible teaching and activities are provided at an age appropriate
level on every Sunday except the first Sunday of the month.
At Christ Church the children and young people are divided into
small groups and given care and encouragement.
Christ Church groups are as follows
| Climbers |
Ages 3-7's |
| Jungle
Explorers |
Ages
7-9's |
| Space
Explorers |
Ages 9-11's |
| Pathfinders
|
Ages

Pathfinders takes time
to discuss issues from a Christian standpoint. In the relaxed
environment young people are given an opportunity to explore
their own beliefs. They stay in church during for Communion
services, but the other groups re-join the service part way
through.
Restructured and re-formatted
for 2007, St Andrew's sunday groups now known as Sunday Zone
and follow on from the popular midweek sessions.
