We love kids, youth and families at St James Berala. No matter what their age or stage, we have something for your kids
Our Sunday Morning Family Church service has a full kids programme, catering for kids who are as young as 6 months old, and up to year 6. We start church together as a family, and then about half way through the service the kids get to head out to their own Kids Church. We would love your kids to join our kids program, but if you'd prefer them to remain with you in the main service - that's totally fine. A little noise doesn't bother us!
If you have any questions about any of our kids or youth ministries, please don't hesitate to contact us.
