Children & Youth
Our aim is to see young lives transformed by Jesus, alongside parents, as we share the gospel and our lives
As a church family in support of parents, we love sharing with the next generation the Good News of Jesus Christ, praying that children and young people would grow up to be mature disciples, equipped to love and serve Jesus in all they do. What a great task!
Whether you have been here for many years or you are new and finding out more, you and your children are welcome here. 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, 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 you will see 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
- 9.15 & 11am
- Pre-school age
Mini-Roots is our group for pre-school children. 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.
Rooted Kids

- Primary school up to Year 5


Roots Youth
- 11am
- Year groups 6-8
Roots Youth is for young people in year groups 6-8. Some of our young people come along with their families and some come along on a Sunday by themselves. Here we dig into God’s word, enjoying discussion, talks, challenges and games.
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.

Trinity Tots
- Thursdays 9.15-11am
- Parent & Toddler Group
A fun group for babies, toddlers and their families with games, singing and Bible stories. We run weekly, and there is a small charge each week. It is a great opportunity for families to support and encourage one another and for babies and toddlers to enjoy activities and engage with one another.
You will need to book your ticket to come along. Tickets go live at midday on Thursdays. Sign up on the Calendar page.
Dangerous Club

- Year Groups 3-5
Roots Youth Club
- Wednesdays 5-6pm
- Year Groups 6-8
A fun and energy-filled hour! We have a great group coming along each week. We usually start with toast, catching up and then spend some time engaging with the Bible and what it looks like to follow Jesus with chance to discuss and ask questions. A game or challenge is normally thrown in for good measure.

What to look out for…
Holiday Bible Club
Each year we want to encourage our kids at church and those in our town with the Good News of Jesus. We usually have a wacky theme – in 2020 we were Secret Agents (online) and in 2021 we were Underwater Explorers. Each week is full of fun, games, challenges, epic crafts and snacks as we learn about Jesus Christ from the Bible.
