We believe that everyone of any age can be a disciple of Jesus.
We want our children and families to grow in three ways.
-
To connect with God
-
To connect with others, and
-
To connect others to God.
Connect with God
Sparks is our children’s church which gathers during our Central Gathering at 11am in the Kairos room at Westcliffe Hall on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month.
The sessions include a Bible story, creative prayer, craft and games suitable for primary aged children
Connect with Others
Toddler Group runs on a Tuesday in term time 10am to 11.30am, we follow the EYFS curriculum and have a good mixture of Mums, Dads, Grandparents and carers that attend. We are blessed with home made biscuits and good coffee. If you would like to attend please register here Westcliffe Baby & Toddler Group or email mandy@kairoschurch.net
Take Time on a Wednesday invites all from the community for a fun morning. We have a variety of activities out each session including toddler play and crafts, plus adult crafts, puzzles, and colouring. We run from 10am to 11.30am, you can pop in for a coffee or the whole session, no booking required.
We have many families that come along with toddlers as well as some older folks. We have a good team of volunteers so always plenty of people to chat with. We run a café alongside with homemade cakes and it is free to come along.
Sparks children are also developing links in the community and have enjoyed making Christmas bookmarks, Easter cards and decorating biscuits for our friends at Emmaus House residential home.
Connect Others with God
Children are an integral part of our Kairos Communities which usually meet weekly. On the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month we meet in our Missional Communities across Harrogate to share the love of Jesus in different creative and appropriate ways.
Some of our communities aim to be multi-generational and so think carefully about activities that work well for children. Check out our Kairos Community page for more details of how to join a Missional Community.
Harbour Missional Community has a focus on supporting parents to holistically disciple their children. We run the 10 week Family Links Nurturing programme and Messy Church.
