CHILDREN & YOUTH

Mt Barker Uniting is an intergenerational community, we strive to provide connection for children, youth and families.

Jesus said, “Let the children come to me and do not hinder them”.

As a church we seek to encourage kids and youth to know Christ and grow in him.

We aim to create a safe space for all involved in summit programs.

If you would like to know more about our church community or Summit programs, please speak to either our Minister or Intergenerational Leader Bhavani Quirke

Uniting Kids

Uniting Kids, for primary school children, this program is included in the Sunday morning service during school terms. After the ‘Children’s talk’, Children are encouraged to join the Leaders in the Summit Room where they can learn more about the theme of the Service using child friendly language, music and activities.

At the back of the Church there are two Kids Zone, one for drawing and activity sheets, the other is a space with toys for our youngest members to engage with during the service.

The first Sunday of every month, is our Communion service, Children will remain in the church for the full service.

 

Uniting Youth

Young people are an important part of the life of our community. They are involved in all our worship services, from music, singing and leading.

On the last Sunday of the month, our Youth Leaders create a space where youth are free to be themselves and hang out with like-minded teens while engaging in various activities from Pool, Darts, Board Games and more.

We encourage conversation and provide snacks throughout the evening.
