Children and Families

Families and young people will find a warm welcome at Holy Cross

Our dream is to be a church for all the family; where everyone – of whatever age – finds their place and feels welcomed, nourished, and encouraged.

Families with children of all ages are welcome to attend and participate in services. We have a ‘pram parking’ area in the church, conveniently close to the entrance, as well as resources for young children. There is no expectation that children will be ‘seen but not heard’; the noisy and sometimes messy reality does not need to be hidden or shushed!

We do not view children as the church of tomorrow; they are very much of today! We want to include everyone, including children, who are encouraged and supported to participate and contribute to the extent, and in ways, that fit their wishes and abilities (as well as their mood on a particular day!).

Family life and raising children brings so many demands. It is important that church involvement does not add to these, but instead offers a source of support and nourishment, both to children and their adults. As well as the regular weekly services, we offer a number of activities to support families to develop and sustain their spiritual life.

Keep an eye on our Facebook page for information about these.
