Jesus' Kingdom

JK on Sunday (Jesus’ Kingdom) is for children from 2 years of age up to Year 6 in primary school.  JK runs during both 8:30am and 10:30am services. During 10.30 am service, Year 6 children are invited to join with the high school RAGE group. (see Youth)

J.K. is a time where the children can grow to know King Jesus as their friend, Saviour and Lord, and to learn what it means to belong in His Kingdom.

JK2-3 (for 2-3 year olds), JK3-5 (for 3-5 year olds who are not at school) and JK5-8 (for children in Kindergarten & Years 1 & 2 at school), all enjoy many activities in separate programmes. Safe and caring environments are our priority – places where they learn the basic truths of our Christian faith through Bible stories and age-relevant activities, and experience the love and nurture of committed leaders.
JK8-12 (Years 3-6 at school) and their leaders, thoroughly enjoy fast-paced, Bible based, relational and extremely creative programmes.  Twice a year, the 10.30am service is ‘taken over’ by the children for a JK Celebration where the children share what they have been learning and minister to-the whole congregation - through dramas, craft, video-making, interviews, memory verses, songs. All JK groups, as well as the RAGE band and singers, participate in these Celebrations.

Each year and each holiday period commences with a Kids Praise Time combined with the RAGE group. All the RAGE-ers and RAGE band, lead games, praise songs, Bible story, prayers and more games. –

To increase the children’s awareness and support of missionaries and missions, we hold an annual Saturday cooking day for JK8-12, followed by a special Sunday Morning Tea to raise money to support one or more of our missionary families.
To get to know each other better, to strengthen relationships and just to  have some fun, many of the leaders hold special get-togethers with their small groups during the year.
