Welcome to the Greyfriars Kids Ministry page!
Children are a vital part of our church family and we would love to welcome you and your family to our kids’ groups on Sundays.
On the first Sunday of each month, all ages worship together in church at 9.30am for our ‘All In’ services. All aspects of the service are planned for a range of ages and needs, including an optional activity, and aims to run for an hour at the most.
For the remaining Sundays of each month, we have a variety of Kids’ Groups. No need to pre- book, just turn up, we would love to see you! When you bring your child to the group, we will ask you to fill out a quick Registration/Consent Form before leaving your child in our care. We offer the children a drink and biscuit, so please do let us know about any allergies.
