Children+Families

Welcome to the children, youth and families page. 

At the Minster, we are committed to supporting children, young people and families. We do this by running regular groups throughout the week for babies, toddlers, primary school aged children and a youth group for young people at the three secondary schools in our town.

Our prayer is that every child and young person we meet with will learn about God, meet Jesus, and find that they have an important and valued part of the community of the Minster.

Ben, Youth and Children’s Minister

‘Me and my Dad’

Breakfast events are a chance for young children to drag their Dads and Grandads to hang out with other Dads, Grandads and male carers for a morning of fun, activities and of course, coffee and bacon butties! They happen once a month on the third Saturday in the Parish Hall between 9.30-11.00. Toys, crafts and breakfast for male carers and their children (from babies up to Key Stage 2) 

Rainbows, Brownies and Guides

There are Rainbow, Brownie and Guide Groups associated with the Minster. There are services throughout the year where they are invited to join in worship with us, and our Youth and Children’s Minister regularly joins in their sessions.
