Kids & Youth

We are passionate about creating fun, welcoming, and safe spaces for children and young people! We offer engaging activities on Sunday mornings during our gatherings, as well as additional sessions throughout the week. We also run a friendly midweek toddler group for little ones and their parents / carers.

At Immanuel, your child’s safety is our priority. All of our kids and youth volunteers have undertaken safeguarding training and are DBS–checked, meaning you can feel confident about the safety of your children.
