Our term two nights will be on Friday 12th May and Friday 16th June. See the flyer on the right for details. We hope to see you and your friends there!

Salty Kids is a kids club run by Salt Community Church to provide a safe, welcoming place for kids to have fun, get to know other local kids, and learn more about Jesus through looking at the Bible.

We plan to run two Salty Kids nights each school term. The nights consist of lots of high-energy games, eating pizza together, and breaking into discussion groups where we look at a small section of the Bible together and talk about what it teaches us about Jesus. It is a place where ideas will not be pushed on the kids, but where they will have an opportunity to ask questions and think for themselves about what they believe.

Parents are encouraged to read more about our program and plans here.

At Salt we love kids and teenagers. We encourage our teenagers to engage with the sermon week by week, and there are opportunities for them to discss and unpack what they are learning throughout the year. For our younger ones, we have a range of programmes, including the following groups:

TINY TOTS

Lots of playtime

MINI MITES

as the adults or an area of discipleship

Our kids all start in with the adults for the start of church as we sing and pray together and hear about what is happening around our church. We then have a small break while the children go out to their various programs. 

The kids program finishes at 5:20pm each week. If the service finishes before then, please have a cuppa and chat until 5:20pm then collect your children. On the rare occasion that the service finishes after 5:20pm the kids leaders will keep the children with them until the service finishes.

It is important to us that children feel safe and enjoy coming to kids church. For this reason we offer a slow settling approach, especially for those who are not use to being in care or who often get upset being left with new people. The slow settling approach involves a parent joining the child in the program for a number of weeks, staying with them the whole time, until they feel comfortable in the space and with the people. This takes different amounts of time for different children but often around 6 weeks. Once you feel they are ready to be left on their own in the group, please let the leaders know and we will support them to settle in.

If you are leaving your child with us unattended, we recommend a quick drop-off rather than hanging around. If your child does not settle within a few minutes, we will call you and ask you to come back and try staying with them for a few more weeks before trying again. We will also call you if they need a nappy change or have an accident.
