Children

Children and are important to us. We aim to create an environment which is safe, fun and nurtures their relationships with each other and Jesus. We want to see them reach their potential and be part of unlocking their destiny.

Children and Youth

Connect with Jesus

At Gateway Vineyard we believe children and young people are loved and valued by God. We meet together every Sunday morning and in different ways within the week. Our vision is that they would know who God has made them to be and to connect with Jesus as their friend and King as they grow up. Becci Bell is our Kids Pastor, leading teams of volunteers across the sites.

 

Reporting a concern

As a church, we prioritise safeguarding, not just as a legal requirement, but as an extension of the value Jesus placed on caring for children (Matthew 18) and vulnerable adults. We have a team approach, including a safeguarding lead, deputies, administrators and a named Trustee who oversee the safer recruitment and training of all staff and volunteers working with children, young people and vulnerable adults, as well as the management of safeguarding across our sites and groups, according to our safeguarding policy.

If you have a safeguarding concern, even if you’re not sure whether to report it, our Safeguarding Team would like to hear from you.

Children and Youth

Sunday Morning Groups

Kids – We have a children’s programme called Planet Kids for children in primary and pre-school ages at both of our Sunday morning sites.

Youth – Sunday mornings the youth meet in the youth rooms at both Central and the Chapel sites. We catch up on our weeks, learn from the Bible and pray together.

Groups that meet during the week

Youth – we have regular Friday Youth sessions for young people in Yrs 7+ run by our youth team. These sessions are lots of fun and a great way to meet other Gateway young people. You can expect games and activities, a short talk from the Bible and sometimes we worship together – and there is always the tuck shop!
