Growing up we have all kinds of experiences. To see our past filled with positive role models, safety and fun is a true gift from God. Kids involved in church benefit greatly from deeper connections to their peers and leaders.

To the world, the ministries below look like a bit of light-hearted fun. Yet, in God’s sovereignty, these small moments centered around the Bible provide a firm foundation of faith and community as our children stretch into the teenage years and into adulthood. We are so excited to see God at work in the lives of these children.

BIG DAY IN

Throughout the year St Jude's regularly hosts a 1 day evangelistic holiday program where children can come to hear the gospel and experience the love of Jesus.
We encourage our regular children to take the opportunity to invite their friends. The day is not only a wonderful service and outreach to the community, but has also become a chance for church members and teens to serve and share their faith.

"Children hear the name of God, some for the first time, they open His Living Word and find it has something for them. They encounter, in games and good food, and openly in teaching, the Joy of Christ."

When: During the term 1, 2 & 3 school holidays.
