Children

“When children come to St Thomas’ we want them to feel they are cared for in a friendly environment.

We want them to be excited about exploring the Bible and hearing about Jesus. We want them to know that they can make a difference where they are now. Most importantly, we want them to know that they are loved by God and are part of His family.

This is why we’re passionate about sharing God’s love with children through our Sunday and midweek groups, as well as events like our Easter Holiday Club and Light Explosion.

So why not join us on a Sunday morning? And you can email us below if you’re interested in any of the other things we do.”

Sarah Evans & Alison O’Neill, Children & Families Team

Sundays

9am

11am

We love having children at both Sunday mornings services, and all our groups are fully accessible.

At the 9am, they start in The Centre and will come back for the last 20 minutes of the service.

At 11am, they start in the service and will go over to The Centre after 20 minutes. They can be picked up from there after the service ends.

(Rooms 1 & 2 are Ground Floor, Rooms 3-7 are First Floor.)

All our team are DBS checked.

Midweek

Refresh is open to all children Yrs 4-6, and each week we enjoy lots of games, activities, crafts, and competitions (with a new theme every session). We also take time to pray together and talk about our wonderings about God. Open for all, whether you go to church or not. Please note, a parental consent form will need to be signed on your first visit.

We meet fortnightly 6pm-7:30pm in The Centre on Thursdays.

Contact Sarah for more at sarah@st.tees.org.uk.

This is a group for babies, toddlers, parents and carers. Come and have time to chat with other parents/carers in a safe environment with lots of toys for the children to enjoy. We’ll have craft activities available, snacks for the children and a song time to end. 

We meet at 10am every Wednesday in The Centre.

No booking is necessary and we look forward to seeing you! For more information please contact Alison at alison@st.tees.org.uk.
