We value community. We believe church is people living life together and helping one another to love God, to love each other and love others.
We’ve groups to give us time to gather as friends, and times to encourage and equip each other.

Kids Church (3 to 10 yrs)
Living Life to the full!
Pre-schoolers to school year 6 – or three to eleven year olds – are very much part of the Welcome church family. The church meets at 10:30am on a Sunday morning and as part of that service there is specific teaching in age appropriate groups.
The children hear Bible stories and explore Biblical truths as we believe these are foundational to living life to the full. The children are divided into age groups and enjoy various craft activities that help them remember what they have learned.
