When you collect your child you will receive an activity sheet with the Bible story and ideas for things to do at home during the week.
Our Purple Room in Kidlings is a sensory-friendly retreat space for young children who find it a bit overwhelming to be in the larger group. The space has been designed to accommodate the individual needs of each child while still teaching them Biblical truths and the love of Jesus. We would love to partner with your family to provide the best possible environment for your child.
At Gateway Kids we’re growing a generation of kids who know God, love God, live for God and share God with others. You’ll sing, jump and dance, learn more about the Bible and God and hang out with a whole lot of other kids!
