Our Ethos
Children are an integral part of The-River. 
We want to make sure that children and young people feel that The-River is a place where they are welcomed, accepted and cared for.

What do we do on Sundays ?
At The-River we are a family. Our meetings on a Sunday are designed to be friendly to the WHOLE of that family. For that reason, the children stay in the main hall with the adults throughout the whole meeting. We use children’s songs as well as ‘all age’ worship songs. During the second half of the meeting (after a coffee break), the children have a craft to do which relates to the theme which is being spoken about that day. During the meeting we use movie clips, songs, props and crafts to engage the children 9and the adults) so that we are all learning and having fun TOGETHER.
Child Protection
It is most important to us that children are safe and secure at The-River. With this in mind, we have a comprehensive Child Protection Policy (available on request). All of the group leaders who work with children and young people are required to consent to undertaking an enhanced disclosure with the Criminal Records Bureau (a police check).

Hope to see you soon!
You and your children are welcome at The-River at any time – just turn up. We will make sure you are well looked after.

Messy Time
If your child is of primary school age, then look out for our  “Messy Week” page in the “Future Events” section of the web site.

happy children
