Families, Children and Youth Resources
Please find below a list of resources which your family can use for faith learning at home with your children and young people while we are unable to meet together as a church community at this time. Our youth activities will remain online until the end of March 2021 at the earliest. This page will continue to be updated, so please check back frequently for new resources.
Children & Youth Consent Forms for 2020-21 School Year
Our recently updated consent forms for the 2020-21 school year cover activities both online as well as in person, as well as provide parental contact information for leaders to be in touch with families while we are unable to gather in the church. If you haven't submitted a consent form since March 2020 which allows your child to use Zoom, please be advised that you will need to have a consent form submitted before attending any online event. All families are being asked to complete a new form to refresh their information for the 2020-21 school year. Filling out a form will also allow us to collect families' email addresses so that leaders can continue to be in touch while doing Sunday School remotely.
You can edit the word doc, or print and fill it out, whichever is easiest. Please email to our youth worker, Hillary at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
The consent form can be downloaded here: Children & Youth Consent Form 2020-21 (online and in-person)

I'm excited to announce that we are planning a return to in-person Sunday School for our 12-16+ age group from Sunday 15 November! We will meet on the following dates in 2020: 29 Nov and 13 Dec. Thank you for your patience as we take this small step forward in resuming some of our in-person activities for our young people. We have risk assessed our plans which have been approved by the Church as meeting the necessary standards of safety and hygiene to protect everyone. For all of the details regarding the session, as well as information about how to book in your young person, please look over this document: 12-16+ Session Information and Booking Details
Please note that any parents and children outside of the 12-16 group who plan on attending worship in the sanctuary must sign-up separately via our online booking system. Children count towards the total number permitted in the sanctuary.
