St Denys Children's Ministry
It is our belief at
St Denys children that children are not to be seen as future members of
the
church, but as full contributing members in their own right.
During the 11.00 Services St Denys Church runs a number of childrens groups, each catering for a specific age group.

Our Child and Vulnerable Persons Protection Policy
Our Church has an active ministry among children, young people and vulnerable adults. Our church council (the “PCC”) takes seriously its responsibility to protect and safeguard the welfare of all those entrusted to the church’s care or who use its services or participate in any of its groups.
Our Vulnerable Persons' Policy outlines the procedures and standards expected by the church. The full policy is available to be seen in the Church Office. As part of the church’s mission the PCC are committed to:
• Listening to, relating effectively and valuing children, young people and vulnerable adults and ensuring their protection whilst participating in all church activities .
• Encouraging and supporting parents and carers .
• Ensuring that children’s and youth workers are given appropriate support and training • Ensuring there is a robust system for dealing with concerns about possible abuse To ensure these are achieved the PCC has appointed Pam Maidment as the parish’s Child Protection Co-ordinator.
Xstream for 8 to 11 year olds
Our 8 to 11 year
olds still enjoy fun and games but have a far greater
ability to learn about God and his ways. Xstream aims to
provide a
fun environment in which to learn about what it means to be Christian.
The Grid for 11 to 14 Year Olds
The Grid provides
an
environment in which teenagers can develop a deeper relationship with
God in a lively fun environment. A place that they can feel
confident
enough to discuss those more difficult questions and issues.
Our Childrens Groups on Sundays use material and resources provided by the Scripture Union.
