 The aim of our Children's Ministry programs is to facilitate Christian growth and nurture the children in accordance with the church ministry of St Matthew's. Kid's Church also seeks to partner with parents, encouraging them in their God-given role and responsibility as the primary spiritual carers of their children, as well as welcoming new families into the community of St Matthew's.

We have a group of dedicated volunteers who serve us in our Children's Ministry each week preparing lessons, crafts and activities and teaching our children about Jesus. It is such a valuable ministry as Jesus said in Matthew 19:14 -
"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
