We run a fantastic kids program catering to children aged between two and thirteen years, covering three age groups relevant to their developmental stage in life.
The curricula that we use is derived from the Life Church Open Network and is tailored by the Connect kids team through lessons, activities, crafts and videos to suit the needs for all kids in our care.
We want to equip our kids in a fun and faith filled environment to help them develop their relationship with Jesus.

Our Mission
To help kids find life (in Jesus) and live it!
We want kids to find a faith in Jesus, then discover how to live that life through discipleship and learning. We are committed to doing this in a way that is Christ-centred, focused on generosity, leadership, developing a servant heart and having a lot of fun!
WHAT OUR PROGRAM CONTAINS
Every week we have live worship led by our kids team.
We provide free morning tea to all our kids.
We teach about communion and giving so they develop a Godly worldview on fundamental aspects of the Christian faith.
We incorporate fun games that have either a Biblical focus or a team building focus to promote our kids in building stronger friendships with one another.
We show an animated video explaining a biblical story or theme and have group discussion teaching our Connect Kids the Bible in a relatable and age appropriate way.
And a memory verse – that is attached so our kids can take it home which open discussions with the family.
In our ‘Heroes’ age group we read through a Kids Picture Bible while in our Champs and GANG we teach our kids to open the bible themselves and locate the current story. Teaching on a specific story is important but showing our kids how to find it is empowering.
Heroes
The Heroes program (2 – 5 years old) incorporates Bible characters, Bible stories and craft activities to engage kids whilst simultaneously encouraging spiritual, social and creative growth in a fun-filled environment.
Champs
The Champs program (Prep to Grade 4) uses games, challenges, object lessons and small group discussions and craft activities to teach simple Bible truths and life lessons in a fun and engaging way in order to Champion them toward the next stage of their faith development.
Gang
The GANG program (Grade 5 to Year 7) is an acronym for ‘Gods Anointed Next Generation.’ The program disciples the children at a deeper level to equip them to disciple others when they transition into our Youth program.
