SUNDAYS //
Our Sunday morning services are lively, family-friendly gatherings.
Young people in Year 6-9 have their own group called Rooted, which will meet on the 2nd & 4th Sundays of the month. Rooted youth can check themselves in at the Kids’ Registration desk when they arrive in the morning. Registration is open between 10-10.30am and, on a first visit, they’ll need to be registered by an adult (they do not need to print & wear stickers).
Please share, in detail, any additional needs your child may have - we may not be able to accommodate all needs on your first visit, but we will endeavour to work with you to make the best plan. If you’d like to discuss any needs or expectations before your first visit, please email our youth worker Abby at abby@thekings.church.
On a Sunday morning, Rooted Youth will usually stay in until the end of the worship time, before meeting their youth workers at the door and heading to our newly refurbished Youth Room for the rest of the service. They will return to the main church at the end of the service and be released.
