Sunday School

At Beechen Grove, we believe children are an essential part of our church family. Our Sunday School runs every Sunday during the main service and provides a safe, welcoming space for children to explore the Christian faith. Through Bible stories, songs, games, and crafts, we help children understand God’s love in a way that’s fun and meaningful.

Our dedicated team of volunteers is passionate about creating a space where children can grow in confidence, ask questions, and build friendships. We’re here to support parents as together we lay strong foundations for a lifelong journey of faith.

All volunteers have all been DBS checked, and regularly undergo safeguarding training.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When
We meet at the Church Building (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 10:30am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team who will be wearing a Welcome lanyard.

We always serve Tea and Coffee after the service in the Oasis, so please hang around and say hi.

Accessibility
There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There are disabled toilets in the main foyer.

Our Service
The main service begins at 10:30am with a warm welcome from one of our Deacons. Then follows a time of sung worship, led by our musicians.

Our minister will then give a sermon that is Bible based and that we can apply to our everyday life. We then finish with a final worship song. Sometimes there is an opportunity to receive prayer at the end of the service.

What about my kids?
Children stay with their parent or grown-up at the start of the service for the welcome, songs and notices. We really value worshipping God all together as a family. At the end of the notices someone will announce that it’s time for the younger members to go to the Sunday school. Our volunteers have DBS and have level 3 safeguarding training. Whilst you are dropping your kids off at their groups, we pause to take time to chat to someone sitting near or next to us, giving folk a chance to come back before the sermon begins.

The kids group activities vary depending on the age but usually there is a friendly welcome, bible stories, testimonies, praying, music, craft, drama, fun games and free play. The children will return to the meeting before the service finishes.

*Please note that our Sunday school may not operate every Sunday, but we are aiming to make this happen in the near future.

We normally have a slot within the service to interact with the children/youth, normally a story or lesson from the Bible.
