Kids’ church programs in Ballarat
Help your kids learn about Jesus through play and fun activities
Strengthen your relationship with God while your kids do too
It can be hard to worship God when you’re a parent and have the kids with you, right? It’d be great if there were a way to build your relationship with God while the kids did too, yeah? Well, at York Street you can. We have a range of church programs for kids in Ballarat no matter their ages.
We also have baby-change facilities and a baby room. This means you can feed or play with your baby while listening and watching the church service. It’s 99% soundproof, so your baby can praise God through screaming without interrupting the service!
Our kids’ church programs
Our kids’ church programs listed below are perfect for Christian and non-Christian families with kids aged from birth to Grade-6-age. If you’ve got older kids, check out our youth church group.
yorkie Kids
Yorkie Kids is our Sunday morning kids’ church program that runs alongside our 11:00 am church service. It’s designed for kids in Prep to Grade 6 who want to have fun while learning about Jesus and the Bible. If your kids have been before, all you need to do is sign them in and out.
If it’s the first time your kids are joining, our team will collect the following information: their name, address, date of birth, school year level, and any specific care they need (for example, allergies and special needs). We’ll also collect the parent or guardian’s name, phone number, and email address. We’ve assigned all Yorkie Kids leaders and volunteers according to our Safe Church Policy, so you can rest assured they’re in good hands.
Our kids’ church room opens 10 minutes before the 11:00 am service, so please make sure you check your kids in first before joining the main service.
Church Creche
Our Church Creche is a supervised play program that runs alongside our 11:00 am church service. It’s perfect for kids aged from 18 months to 3 years. They get to play, laugh and learn while you attend the service — it’s a win-win, really.
Friday Fun Zone
Our Friday Fun Zone is a supervised program for kids in Grade 4 and Grade 5. They play games and do craft and other activities to develop their social skills and learn more about God — plus, we’ll even provide afternoon tea for them. It’s held fortnightly on Friday afternoons from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm during the school terms.
Church Playgroup
Our Church Playgroup is a free, non-structured play program for kids aged from birth to 4 years. It’s a place for your babies and kids to play and develop their social and motor skills while parents form friendships and navigate parenthood together. We have three different playgroups held in our indoor playground on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings during the school terms. There’s no need to book ahead of time, but you’re more than welcome to contact us for more information.
