At St John’s we firmly believe that children are not just the church of the future, they’re the church of today as well. So we try to reflect that in our 10.30 am contemporary service.

Every service begins with all ages worshipping together, then during term time, children up to the age of 14 go off to their own groups to learn more about the Bible and the Christian faith.

Youth Group 

We have a youth group that meets once a month on a Sunday evening for those who are age 14+. 

We will read the bible, play games and have social events as we get to know each other and dive deeper into the bible and knowing God.

We also go to other youth events around Swindon such as Swindon Youth for Christ’s Synergy Event and the Youth Gathering at Rodbourne Cheney Baptist Church.

 

Registering your Child(ren)

If you decide St John’s is where you’d like to regularly worship, we ask that you fill in our Children’s Information Form so that we have parent contact details and understand any allergies or key information about your child. 

Creche

Babies and young children are welcome to stay in the service. If they get restless there is a dedicated area where they can play with toys and read books with their parents. The room has a window allowing adults to see in to the service and a speaker, which relays the sound so you can still hear the service.

All Age Services

Once a month and in school holidays we have All Age Worship when the service is designed for all ages to worship together for the whole time.

Safeguarding

We take safeguarding and keeping children safe, very seriously at St John’s. Every Sunday school Leader and Helper is fully DBS checked and undertakes Safeguarding training.

You can read our  Safeguarding Policy  Or if you have any concerns regarding a child or Sunday School leader please contact the Safeguarding Officer.
