Kids & Youth Ministry

We are thankful to God that our Kids and Youth Ministry is thriving. Ministry that not only reaches to our children and young people but to the wider Ballyclare community. Our aim is to present the love of Jesus and to see a much higher proportion of those attending our Youth Organisations become regular attendees at our church every Sunday morning.

Mums and Tots

Thurdays @ 9AM

Every Thursday from 9:00am we have our Mums and Tots group. This is a busy morning in our main hall and is a great opportunity for babies and toddlers to socialise. We have a break shortly after 10:00am for some toast and buns coffee/tea and juice.

We regularly tell Bible stories, sing songs and nursery rhymes and at special times of year we take the opportunity to dress up. And there is always a party or two, or maybe three, throughout the year as well.

Creche

Sunday Mornings

Crèche runs every Sunday morning during church for all pre-school kids – we have plenty of toys, games and other activities to keep little ones amused while parents are in the main worship service.

Shine

Sunday Mornings

Shine is our Sunday morning programme for primary school kids. While the adults are in church our children hear Bible stories told in an age-appropriate way, with games, quizzes and lots of fun – we would love for your kids to join us!

Junior Youth Club

Every other Friday Evening (September to June)

Junior Youth Club is for Primary School Children from P2 to P7.

Youth Fellowship

Youth Fellowship is for young people of secondary school age. We gather around food in the youth room each Sunday at 6:30pm and the evening includes banter, food, games and exploring God’s word. The aim of Youth Fellowship is to help everyone become a more passionate follower of Jesus. We want to support our kids in their journey of faith and encourage them to get involved in serving God.
