Cheddar Valley Community Church
Serving the Cheddar Valley
All are Part of our Church Family
As part of our service on a Sunday morning, there are specific age relavant groups for all of our under 14's.
- For two's under we have a creche
- For those aged 3 to school year 1 we have JAM 1(Jesus & Me)
- For those in school years 2 to 4 we have JAM 2
- For those in school years 5-9 we have TNT
The all children are included in the first half of our Sunday morning meeting, before leaving to go to their own groups.
Those of us involved in working with the children have a vision to see God at work amongst them. Our aim is to teach spiritual truths and the principles of living God’s way, at a level they can understand, and to help them develop a personal relationship with Jesus. The leaders of all our childrens groups have been CRB checked.
We currently use the Light materials produced by Scripture Union for the children in First Class & J.A.M. This provides a Bible-based approach and covers the main Bible characters and events over a three year period.
We believe that all young people are special and that they have an equal part to play in today's family of God. We, therefore, do our best to ensure our children have access to a programme relevant to them, whatever special or additional needs they may have.
Who's Who in our Children's & Youth Work
Our children's and youth work is broken down to reflect the 3 tier school system used in the village.
Birth - School Year 4 (0-9 years old)
This is led by Anne Mehlig.
The main focus of this age is the Sunday morning classes, which are held as part of our morning worship. Although we do hold extra events throughout the year, for example Christmas.
School Years 5-9 (9-13 years old)
The programme for this age is called "Xtreme" and consists of social, evangelistic, discipleship and service elements. The Xtreme Youth Group meets every Monday during term-time, 4.30 - 6.00 pm at the Community Church Centre in Gadds Lane, Tweentown, Cheddar.
School Years 9-12 (13-17 years old)
"The And" Youth Group is jointly run by the Youth Leaders of Cheddar Valley Community Church and Cheddar Baptist Church. They meet every Wednesday, 7.00 - 9.00 pm @ Cheddar Baptist Church, Lower North Street, Cheddar.
For more details of the older two groups, please contact Anita Worcester on 07816 295160
