We’re kid friendly!
We appreciate the unique energy, care, and spirituality that children bring. They’re important to our community. We believe that participating in worship is for all ages and people in all stages of life.
Space for Youth
We believe that our worship services should be for all people, but are also aware that kids get restless. We’ve set up a Kids Play Area in the northwest corner of the sanctuary so that you can watch them, while still being able to participate in the service.
Often, you will see one of our toddlers testing out their legs and their curiosity. We remind parents that the children are welcome to wander. Being a small group, we are like a neighbourhood. We watch, we care, we understand. Downstairs, in the accessible bathroom, you'll find a changing table for your baby and a toddler-sized toilet made especially for your young child.
You can wear your sweatpants and your kids can run around and play maracas, and it’s all good!
We’ve got cookies after. Usually.
Sunday Morning Worship
During the school year we have a "Theme Conversation" portion in service with our minister Emma. Sometimes we explore science and faith, storybooks and games together in worship and we always end with a prayer together. We invite children 5-12 (appx) to use our youth nook behind the piano to colour, read, draw or play quietly.
Activity bags are also available in the pews for youth and teenagers. Friends of all ages are always welcome to draw and colour.
“
I come here for the children — my girls love to be here. I like that we can come as we are — in yoga pants, with bedhead, or in full dress-up. The music is one of the best parts of Kimbourne, a perfect mix of old and new.”
