Children & Youth
Our aim is to see young lives transformed by Jesus, alongside parents, as we share the gospel and our lives.
As part of a growing family where lives are being transformed by Jesus we long to see the next generation growing up into life-long followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. We seek to do that as a church by partnering with parents in teaching the good news of Jesus and sharing our lives in faithful, fun, safe and engaging ways, praying that as we do, children and young people would be becoming faithful and fruitful followers of Jesus, equipped to love and serve Jesus in all they do. It is the best!
At HTW, families work is at the heart of who we are, from Sunday mornings to holiday clubs, to reading the Bible in small groups. You may have been here for many years or you are new and finding out more. Please know that we want for you and your children to feel really welcome here. There is lots for you and your children to participate in and be a part of. The team involved in this work are brilliant, dedicated, DBS-checked and trained in safeguarding.
Here is a small window into what we are doing. On behalf of all the team, we can’t wait to see you soon.
Sunday Groups
We have groups for all ages 0-13 during the services. As a church family we gather together at the start of each service and then the children and young people leave to join their groups to learn about God from the Bible in an age-appropriate, engaging, and fun way through teaching, games, activities, crafts, singing and prayer.
The groups run every Sunday during term time. On the first Sunday of the month we gather altogether for an all-age service where the children and adults join together for the whole service.
Mini-Roots & Creche
- 9.15 & 11am
- Pre-school age
Mini-Roots is our group for pre-school children at the 9:15am service. At Mini-Roots parents can either stay with their child during the session, or if they would like to, leave them with our wonderful team and go into the service. The children (and adults) have a brilliant time as they learn from the Bible through stories, song and play. At the 11am service, we do not currently have a leader led group, but families with babies and pre-schoolers can enjoy a quiet space, with toys and crafts, whilst being able to watch the live-stream on screen in the room.

Re:Late Youth

We start with games and catch up time before joining the 6pm service for bible teaching, singing and fellowship. We’ll then break out to discuss the talk, pray, play a game and probably munch some food! An opportunity to come together, study the bible, and learn of the difference Jesus makes to our lives . This group is led by William, Hannah and James.
Midweek Groups
As children and young people grow up we see the value of helping them to build strong relationships and friendships whilst growing in their understanding of Jesus and how to live for Him. We also think the opportunity for parents and families to have support and build friendships and support networks is so important. Church is a wonderful place for all of these to happen.
