Families & Young People

What about children?

Jesus loved children – and so do we. They are not part of the church of tomorrow, but part of the church today! Children of all ages – and their parents – are very welcome, and we are relaxed about any noise that young ones naturally make.

Our vision for children is:

To introduce children and young people to Jesus by bringing the Bible to life faithfully for them, so that they will have their own relationship with God.

Lighthouse Club!

Lighthouse Club for children (approx 3-14yrs) meets in the Cornerstone room at East Dean Church during the morning service. The children go out during the service, after a children's slot, and come back in to join the congregation for the last hymn.

Christian themes will be explored through fun, friendship, craft, music, drama, bible study activities and discussion relevant to all ages, following the Mosaic 'Scripture Union' program.

Créche

Young children are particularly welcome at our morning services at East Dean where we offer the Cornerstone Room for 0-3s to enjoy the toys there at any time, with a parent/carer.

Planning your Visit

Our Churches

Our churches seek to offer a warm welcome, authentic worship from the heart, and talks which are Biblical, expository, and down-to-earth.

East Dean

A living community of faith at the heart of the village

On Sunday mornings at East Dean we hold modern language services which appeal to people of all ages, with music that includes well-loved hymns plus the best modern songs. Children are especially welcome at our morning services – and we offer a supervised Crèche and regular activities for children so that parents can enjoy their worship without distraction.

Friston

A house of prayer set high on the hill

Services at Friston cater particularly for those who prefer a traditional more reflective service using the much-loved words of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and the King James Bible. For details of our services click here.

Jevington

A church with a message of hope for today in a setting of timeless beauty

All our services are held at 11.15 every Sunday. We offer both modern language and traditional language services. For details of our services click here.

All our churches are open all day and every day for anyone to use as a quiet space for prayer or just to sit and be quiet.
