VKids

Come and join us on Sunday for VKids!

VKids is Vintage's Children's Ministry for children aged 0 through to 5th Grade. VKids start off in the main service with parents for the first part of worship. After they have been prayed for, the kids are taken up to their classrooms on the 3/F.

Nursery

0-2 Year Olds

Our Nursery room is for children aged 0-2. They will be looked after by our trained and cleared VKids team. Our hope is you feel comfortable leaving your little ones with us so you can enjoy the main service. You are welcome to stay with your little one for the first time, if you prefer. The children hear a bible story, sing together and are offered an apple sauce

Preschool

3-5 Year Olds

Our VKids Preschool group is for children aged 3 - 5, including TK. They will be looked after by our trained and cleared VKids team. The children start in the service for worship and then head upstairs for some some free play, followed by a bible story, snack, craft and prayer.

Elementary

K-5th Grade

Our VKids Elementary group meets during the service. They start with sharing highs and lows, a game, bible story and short interactive talk followed by time in huddle groups where they can ask questions, share prayer requests and do an activity together. A prepackaged snack and drink is offered during the session.
