Twinkles
0 - 2 yrs
 |
Twinkles happens in the meeting room from the beginning of the service. Although they're small, we believe these very young children can still learn about how Jesus loves them and we aim to provide a safe, loving space for them. Twinkles is mainly free play with a short story and song time.
While small babies are welcome in Twinkles, there's also a creche area at the back of church. No-one minds if your baby is noisy, but feel free to wander around with your baby if you prefer.
Baby-changing facilities are in the disabled toilet in the corridor.

Sparkles
2 - 3 1/2 yrs
|
Sparkles meets in the church hall from the beginning of the service. We believe we can offer our toddlers an opportunity to experience God through free play, crafts and a song and story time. Being able to separate the older toddlers from the babies allows us to have more age-appropriate toys and more discussion in the structured time.

Little Stars
3 1/2 - 5 yrs
|
Little Stars meets in the church hall via the church garden entrance. The children start off in church and leave for Little Stars during the service. The session ends at 11.45am. In Little Stars we firmly believe that children can experience God in amazing ways. The sessions generally include lots of quick-fire activities such as craft, worship, prayer, games and stories, all exploring a theme. Children get into small groups for a prayer time and there's lots of focus on building relationships, chatting and listening to each other. The sessions include learning through play - and watch out for Mr Bible!

Kids In Christ (KIC)
5-11 yrs
|
KIC meets in the community centre with the children leaving part way through the service. Sunday morning KIC is a bit like Saturday morning TV - a fun cocktail of games, challenges, small groups, stories and craft. As well as all the fun stuff, we focus on doing business with God, engaging in worship and responding in prayer ministry. We believe children can hear from God and that he calls and speaks to children from a young age.
Will you be on the red team or the blue team? Your team needs you to get stuck in and win points.
For older KIC members there is a weekly cell group. Details are given below.

Breakthru
11-14 yrs
|
Break:Thru meets in the community centre after spending the first few minutes in church - just follow the crowd going down the road! You'll be welcomed into a team with others of your own age and an adult cell leader. We have loads of crazy games, a talk and some worship, and we look at ways that we, as Christians, can make a difference in the world.
On Tuesdays at Break:in we also meet in cell groups to chat about things relevant to us and how we can apply our faith to our lives here in Tonbridge. We have a lot of fun together and there's always loads of other stuff going on - so check the term planners to make sure you don't miss out!

KIC Cell - going in deep (school years 5&6)
This group meets on Mondays in the Community Centre from 4.45-6pm. At KIC Cell we have lots of fun and chat, but also get down to prayer, worship and using the Bible. Cell members listen to, and pray for, each other. We've seen the children who come along really grow in their faith and in their relationships with each other.
