Children & Youth on Sundays | Beech Hill Church, Otley

What's on for Children on a Sunday Morning

Sunday morning is our whole church gathering. There are people there of all ages from toddlers to pensioners. We love having our whole church family together, so for the first half of the meeting adults, children and young people are in together.

Along with the songs, readings and prayer time, we also have a kids’ slot– usually in the form of a short talk for the children.

When it’s time for the adults to have their Bible teaching, the children go to their own groups:

The Groups for Children on a Sunday Morning

We have two groups for children and young people that take place during the Bible talk:

Miniature Heroes (0-5s)

Miniature Heroes is our Sunday morning group for 0-5s. There are songs, toys and fun Bible teaching tailored to this age group. There are always at least two adults with the children in the group, sometimes more if needed. Parents/carers are able then to stay in for the Bible talk in hall.

Heroes (6-11s)

Heroes is our Sunday morning group for 6-11s. This is a bit more grown up than Miniature Heroes, but still lots of fun! Every so often (especially during the summer) the Heroes stay in from the main Bible talk to help them get get used to church with everyone else.

What's on the Rest of Week?

Tots and Toys, our stay and play groups for babies and toddlers, takes place on a Tuesday morning 9:30am-11am during school term times.
Jelly Beans is our Postal Craft and Bible Story Club for 3-6 year olds. It’s available to children in the Otley area; crafts, puzzles and stories are sent through the post six times a year -all free of charge.
Pioneers is a new group for 11-14s which is currently running on a Saturday evening 6pm-7:30pm during term times. Check the page for dates.

Safeguarding

We take the safety of the children in our groups very seriously. All our helpers are DBS checked and we regularly review our safeguarding / child protection policy. A copy is available on our resources page.
