As a family oriented church, we support parents with the integration of all ages in our Sunday services. We provide a program catering specifically for children. Our aim is to provide a safe space for all to learn about Jesus and have fun with friends.
Youth (High School)
Our Youth are encouraged to participate in the full life of the church. This includes our all age Sunday morning services and opportunities to serve in various ministries.
Kids' Church (Pre-school to Year 6)
Following our time of corporate family worship, the children head off to Kids' Church, where age-appropriate activities are provided by a committed teaching team. This generally runs during our service each Sunday, and caters for children from Pre-school through to Year 6.
Crèche
A crèche/parents' space is available for children aged 0-3 during our Sunday service as required. There is access to toys & as well as the option for audio-visual provision of the Sunday program.
School Holiday Camps: Primary School Years 4-6, High School, & Additional Needs 15-21 year olds
Our church has a close affiliation with Camp Kedron, in Ingleside. Enjoyable and popular camps are held in January, April, July, and October school holidays.
See the Camp Kedron website for more details.
Special Religious Education
We have several members of our church involved in teaching Scripture in local St Ives Schools.
Child & Vulnerable People's Safety at St Ives Community Church
We take Child & Vulnerable People's Safety seriously and are implementing the NSW Child Safe Standards.
Our Children & Youth ministry team members hold Working with Children Checks, adhere to our Code of Conduct and are trained in Child safety.
All members and visitors should feel safe, welcomed, listened to, and supported. We welcome feedback and are seeking to maintain a child safe culture throughout our Church by regular review of our processes.
