Children and Youth are a key part of Wheatley Community Church. Our desire is that children and youth get the support, friendship and faith they need to help them through their lives. In a village context WCC feels it is important to partner with local churches to provide the best programs possible. Wheatley Community Church partners closely with Fusion Wheatley to put on kids and youth clubs and Fundays through which we have contact with over 250 local children and youth annually. Following are some of the regular programs Wheatley Community Church runs or supports.
Children: (Sunday Mornings only)
For children of pre-school and primary school age, we offer a Sunday School where we learn from the Bible together in an age appropriate way. We also sing songs, play games and there is usually some craft, colouring or puzzles related to the Bible passage that week. We’ve recently been working through God’s promises in Genesis, His rescue plan in Exodus and the early church in Acts.
Youth
Sunday Mornings
History Makers: During WCC’s Sunday morning service most of our youth go out for a Sunday School Bible Study. With around 20 youth attending we often split into smaller discussion groups. Together we study the Bible and work out how to apply it to our lives.
Pulse Games Nights
Join around 20 other local youth from 11 to 17yrs for board games, video games, crafts, music, food and team building. 6:30pm to 8:30pm every second Sunday evening during term time. Held at the Wheatley URC Church.
Pulse Discussion Nights
From a Christian perspective we look through science, psychology, relationships, personal development and what it means to be a Christian in the local teen context. Pulse Discussion Nights are held at the Wheatley URC church from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. As with all good youthwork, these evenings involve Pizza. Suited for secondary school age youth.
