Sundays
Tots for Christ
Tots for Christ is our Sunday group for children aged 18 months to 5 years. We believe all children can have a relationship with Jesus and in Tots for Christ we encourage this through stories, music, crafts and play. We have a purpose built room and facilities as well as an outdoor play area.
