Children’s Church is held at Michaelhouse at 10am on Sunday mornings and is open to all children between the ages of 5 - 11. This service helps kids to learn, engage and respond to the Word of God in fun, creative and accessible ways to challenge and encourage them in developing a life of prayer and worship. Bible readings follow the same liturgical year as the adult service to allow parents and children to have conversations together about the same passages each week. Parents and carers are welcome to stay with their children or they can be dropped off before the start of the service and walked back to the main service by volunteers to join together for the Eucharist.

IAll children from birth are welcome to the Sunday morning crèche service in Michaelhouse. We follow an age-appropriate liturgy of the Word, including songs, hand-motions, Bible-reading and storytelling, and loads of wiggles. At least one parent/caregiver is requested to stay with their child(ren). After the prayers we join the older congregation in Great St. Mary's for the liturgy of the Sacrament.
