“He commanded our forefathers to teach their children, so the next generation would know them…and they in turn would tell their children”. Psalm 78:5-6

Blacktown East has a number of children’s ministries led by experienced and trained leaders. The goal of our children’s work is “to create a growing kid community who come to know and love Jesus and follow Him”. Our ministries include:

Kid’s Service - The cornerstone of the children’s ministry is our Kid’s Service. We have a full program for our children during the 9.30am Family Service. Our aim is to nurture their love for Jesus and age-appropriately teach them about God in a safe, loving and fun environment.

Play Group – Each week we run a popular Playgroup that provides play activities and a bible story for toddlers and friendship for parents. Click here for more information.

Scripture classes – Sue Chapman and a team of volunteers teach scripture each Thursday at our neighbouring primary schools. Click here for more information.

Service: “Faith in Action” – Children of all ages are encouraged to help and serve others. Currently, this is done through ( comming soon ... - we are still in the planning stage).

Fun & fellowship – Fun activities for the children are run each term such as movie nights, sleepovers  ( comming soon ... - we are still in the planning stage). .
