We love to welcome children and young people to be part of our church family at St James. During our group meetings we aim to teach the Bible to everyone in an engaging way, as well as encouraging friendships in a safe and fun environment.
Junior Church

Jr church meets during the morning service on the 1st & 3rd Sunday of the month. Children aged 4-11 (Reception to school yr 5) are welcome to join us.
We start in the main service, then head upstairs into the ringing room for our own program
We enjoy fun and engaging bible teaching, play games and do fun activities to help understand the true story from the Bible.
Each term we look at a key theme or trace a key part of the bible story.
Jr Church is led by a core group of leaders, ensuring that children can grow relationships with their leaders and with one another. We do this so that they can learn in a familiar and caring atmosphere.
Youth
The youth group is currently not meeting. If you would be interested in joining a group please contact Rev. Tim May (vicar@churchbytheriver.org.uk)
