Kids at Church
At Silkstone Baptist Church we love welcoming families with kids – and have awesome things for them to do during the services.
- 0 – 3 years: we have a playroom Including comfortable seating for parents and guardians, with easy access to participate in Sunday morning worship.
- 4 years – Grade 6: Join our Kids Church team for songs, stories, craft and outdoor play. This ministry runs fortnightly during school term at the moment.
We seriously value young people and want you to know they are invited and welcome as they are. We accept that children create noise and mess – we don’t expect perfect people here, no matter your age.
How We Do Church On Sundays
We currently have two alternating formats of Sunday worship services.
This allows us to creatively and powerfully shape the service, focusing on being the kind of church God wants us to be and the values He has given us (see “Who We Are“).
The Sunlight Service focuses on worshiping as a family, including our wonderful kids.
You can expect worship through songs and prayer, a break in the middle for morning tea for organic fellowship with one another, and a relational style of preaching with opportunities to discuss the content together.
The Water Service is when the kids enjoy their own special Kids Church program during the preaching.
You can expect worship through music and prayer, and a deeper, more thought-provoking preaching style.
We share in communion on the first Sunday of every month.
We are calling the services Water and Sunlight because it is a good analogy for our needs as a church family. Plants need water and sunlight to grow strong and bear fruit.
Water flows down to the roots of the plant and nourishes it deeply, while sunlight bathes the plant in warmth and gives it energy.
Like a plant, we need to deepen our relationship with Jesus and His Word (which is water), and we need connection with our fellow believers and the energy that comes from worshiping God together (which is sunlight).
