Salt Community Church is one of a group of Christian churches that  form the FIEC denomination (Fellowship of Independent Evangelical  Churches). Salt church meets in the Lake Cathie Public School Hall on  Sunday afternoons at 4pm. We are a family friendly church with  Sunday children’s programs for kids 1-13yrs. It is a welcoming  community of local people working out together what it means to  follow Jesus. All welcome. 

SUNDAY KIDS AND YOUTH MINISTRY

Jesus loves children. At Salt, we do too.

We have toys available for very young children to play with during the service and we won’t mind if they make a bit of noise!

We have a kids programs during the service for children from 1 year of age all the way through till lower high school.

All our kids programs are based on the Bible because we believe that God speaks to all ages in the Scriptures.

All our children’s and youth leaders receive Safe Ministry training and have a Working With Children Check.

Our kids all start in with the adults for the start of church as we sing and pray together and hear about what is happening around our church. We then have a small break while the children go out to their various programs. 

The kids program finishes at 5:20pm each week. If the service finishes before then, please have a cuppa and chat until 5:20pm then collect your children. On the rare occasion that the service finishes after 5:20pm the kids leaders will keep the children with them until the service finishes.

It is important to us that children feel safe and enjoy coming to kids church. For this reason we offer a slow settling approach, especially for those who are not use to being in care or who often get upset being left with new people. The slow settling approach involves a parent joining the child in the program for a number of weeks, staying with them the whole time, until they feel comfortable in the space and with the people. This takes different amounts of time for different children but often around 6 weeks. Once you feel they are ready to be left on their own in the group, please let the leaders know and we will support them to settle in.

 

 

If you are leaving your child with us unattended, we recommend a quick drop-off rather than hanging around. If your child does not settle within a few minutes, we will call you and ask you to come back and try staying with them for a few more weeks before trying again. We will also call you if they need a nappy change or have an accident.
