Children

Children’s ministry is so important to us! We aim to help children develop a personal and authentic faith in Jesus. All our programs provide a safe, caring and fun environment with trained teachers and volunteers. For more information, please keep reading.

 Creche and Kidzone

We love serving children and families and look forward to partnering with you in 2023.

We are thankful to run in-person classes for Creche (for parents with babies and toddlers) and Kidzone (for children born in 2019-2012) at our 9:30 and 11:30 am services.

CRECHE
Creche parents accompanying their child to Creche do not need to make a reservation before attending. To avoid overcrowding there are limited seats for Creche on a first-come basis. We also have a designated Baby room in the back of our auditorium for parents with babies to use while listening to the sermon. 

Nursing Mothers: If you have a need for more privacy other than using the Baby room during the service, please contact the Kidzone Welcomer in the Basement.

KIDZONE
Parents need to make a reservation for their child to join the Kidzone class that matches their year of birth. This helps us prevent overcrowding in classrooms, plan better and adhere to fire and safety regulations. We know you want your child to get the most out of attending our programs, and not cause disruptions to others by coming in late. Therefore we have a cut-off time for Kidzone check-in at 10:10 am for the 9:30 am service and 12:10 pm for the 11:30 am service.

Walk in visitors, may go to our Welcome table in the South Lobby on a Sunday you visit or contact children@standrews.org.hk during the week for assistance in making a reservation.
