Hope families is our ministry for all things families and kids related. We value people of every age, just as God does, which is why we are so passionate about helping families flourish and establishing community within our church from the youngest to the oldest. We believe that we can play a part in enabling children and their families to experience and know God and feel equipped to do every day life with God as their partner. We aim for every child to know they are accepted and valued and that they have a safe community to be a part of.

How we gather together as Hope Kids on Sunday
We love to welcome and support families here at Hope Church. We are excited that we get to partner with you as you bring up your children day to day! Get in touch with our team and they will be happy to help you and your family.
A community space for Under 5s and their adults to be together, build relationships with others and receive from God in a way suited to this stage of life. With toys, snacks, tea &coffee, space to chat and a live stream of the preach we feel sure you’ll leave each Sunday ready for the week ahead! Private breastfeeding space also available.
Our 2-4 year olds meet each week to have fun playing together with craft, singing and snack time as part of our session too. We look at a simple version of the stories being studied in the primary groups.
Kids in Years R-3 meet to build community and grow their relationship with God through games, stories, prayer times, worship and group activities.
For kids in Years 4-6, the same as Lower but in a more grown up way! Each week we explore the same Bible story across all our age groups to support onward conversations at home during the week.
