We're passionate about our children and teens at HTF. It's vital that the whole world hears the Good News about Jesus, but it's especially important that we share it with young people. Children and youth work is a particular focus for HTF and we have a range of groups for different ages that meet throughout the week.
All our leaders are carefully recruited and have a current DBS certificate. We adhere carefully to the Church of England Safer Recruitment and Safeguarding standards.
Pre-School
Sunday Creche
During the 10:45 service on Sundays, parents of young
children can watch the service on a screen in the Beckingham Room, where they
can feel free to run around and make noise. Due to a number of
factors, we are unable to offer a supervised creche at this time.
Coffee & Kids - CURRENTLY SUSPENDED
On a Wednesday morning from 10-11.45 am we used to have Coffee and Kids, our very friendly outreach group for pre-school children and their parents/grandparents or carers. Sadly, we had to temporarily close due to Covid and are not yet back up and running again.
Primary Aged Children
Sunday Clubs
After worshipping with the main congregation for the first
part of the service, our Primary School aged children leave for their own
age-specific teaching. We read the Bible, play games, pray, sing and do crafts
together. Anyone from 3 to year 6 is welcome.
HotShots
We meet on Fridays from 3.30pm until 4.45pm in the Parish
Centre during term time. Contact for further information.
Teens
Ignite AM
Ignite AM is our group for those in years 6-9. We alternate
between joining in with the whole church service and heading out for our
own Bible study of the same passage. Expect good fun, big questions and hot
chocolate!
Ignite PM (age 11-18)
Ignite:PM runs on Sunday evenings from 5-6.30pm in term
time. Contact Polly Boyles for further information.
