‘Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.’ (Jesus, recorded in Matthew 19:14, New Living Translation of the Bible)

Jesus was radical in his cultural context for the care and significance he afforded children. We want to do the same, offering safety, nurture and guidance whilst championing children and young people as equal partners in the work of extending God’s kingdom. We love the fact that God is drawing lots of children of all ages to Hope Vineyard!

On Sundays we provide groups for children aged 4-11 years old during the service where they can build relationships, have fun and explore what it looks like for them to develop friendship with God and share his love with the world. When you arrive please sign your child in and they will be taken to their group by our wonderful Hope Kids team after a couple of songs of worship. Activities for children are also provided during Sunday Breakfast on the first Sundays of the month.

For The Under 4’s

For those of preschool age (under 4’s) a parent/carer supervised play area is available for your use during the service. We love having babies and very young children in our services and comfortable seating is provided for baby feeding.
