Soma Kids

Creche – ages 0-3 (school reception)
Preschool Kids – ages 3-5 (green classroom)
Kids – ages 5+ (outside) 

Our kids ministry engages children with the gospel through stories, song, craft and play, during the teaching time of our gathering. Parents are welcome to be in this space.

All of our leaders and helpers have been screened and trained through our ChildSafe procedures.

If you would like your children to participate in any of these ministries, please make sure your child is registered for their program, and signed in electronically each Sunday before the gathering commences. 

We also have toys in the main gathering space for those children who would like to remain with their parents. Noise is fine!
