Under 18’s Work at Christ Church Fareham

All of our children and youth are highly valued at Christ Church Fareham. Our vision and prayer in all we do is that we would not hinder them, but actively encourage and help them come to know God personally (Matthew 19 v 14). This is why we faithfully put resources into making our under 18’s work as encouraging and as helpful as it can be.

Creche (0-3 years old)

Every Sunday there is a warm and comfortable room used for our our creche work. Each week the children enjoy a bible story, songs, and plenty of free play time together. At present, this is an unmanned area, so parents/carers/guardians are required to be with children.

Children’s Work (4-11 years old)

Every Sunday our children go out to their children’s work during the 4th song. These interactive sessions include memory verses, bible stories/dramas, games, crafts & discussion. They normally run along themes for 4-6 weeks (E.g. Psalms, Jesus Stories & Adventure Christmas Series).

We also put on special events across the year that includes an annual Light Party and Christmas Party. Visiting children as with all of our children’s work are very welcome to join us in these friendly environments.

Youth Work (12 – 18)

Our Youth go out every fortnight during the 4th song. These weeks consist of bible studies, discussion & games. Similar to our children’s work the Youth tend to follow themes that last for 4-6 sessions (E.g. Psalm 139 Identity Series & Youth Alpha). All of our regular Youth are given journals to use for the weeks they are in for the whole meeting. This is to help them engage with the sermon. The Youth Group also have a monthly serving Sunday.

The Youth have a number of socials throughout the year and we take a group annually to the Newday Youth Festival!

All our volunteers are DBS-checked and parents sign their children in and out so everyone is well-looked after.
