What Is Active Church?

Active Church is a fun, informal gathering for children and their families where we learn, play, create and explore together.
Each month we follow a theme inspired by a Bible story. Children (and adults!) can choose from a variety of activities including crafts, challenges, STEM projects and Lego activities linked to the theme. There is plenty of freedom to explore, create and have fun at your own pace.We also have lots of space and equipment for children to burn off some energy, including ride-on cars, football goals, play equipment and, on occasion, a bouncy castle. For our younger children, there is a quieter area with sensory play, baby toys and activities designed for little ones.After around an hour of activities and play, everyone comes together for our Celebration Time. This is an opportunity for the children to share what they have been making and doing, hear more about the Bible story, enjoy some songs and join in a simple prayer.We finish by sharing a meal together, giving families a chance to relax, connect and chat with one another before the week ahead.

Who Is It For?

Active Church is particularly suited to families with children under 13, but it’s a place for all generations, and we’re delighted to welcome older children, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends.
Life can sometimes be challenging, but everyone needs places where they can experience joy, friendship, belonging and acceptance. We believe that these things are gifts from God, reflected in the beauty of creation and in caring communities. We want Active Church to be a safe, inclusive and welcoming space where children and adults can enjoy being together, make new friends and explore faith in a relaxed and engaging way. Whether you’re part of a church, new to faith, or simply looking for a fun community activity for your family, you’ll find a warm welcome here. Our hope is that Active Church provides a place to laugh, play, learn and belong—a positive start to the week ahead and a place where families can find friendship, encouragement and a sense of belonging for life’s journey.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is a top priority for us. We are deeply saddened by events, reported in the media, where there have been abuses of power. All our helpers hold a PVG and have undertaken safeguarding training. Most of our helpers have a current 1st Aid certificate. We adhere to the Safeguarding policies of the Church of Scotland and the Methodist Church.

We enjoy it all.

We love coming to Active Church as a family. It is a great, fun, and free day out. The volunteers and leaders are so friendly. We love getting a meal too. It is so nice as a parent to be spoiled a little and made a fuss off, while playing with our child and seeing her enjoying herself. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming.
