THE MIRACLE
Birth – 18 months
Based on Psalm 139 "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb", Miracle 139 provides you and your baby support and encouragement during this precious stage of life. We are happy to care for your little one if you would like to attend the service. Alternately, you are welcome to stay with your baby and watch the service via our video link. A Mother’s room is also provided for feeding mothers and a sleep room with cots if your baby needs a rest. |

THE GARDEN
19 months – 3 years
The Garden of Eden was described in the Bible as a lush, rich place where many good things grew. That’s our goal for your children in ‘The Garden’. We want to plant ‘seeds of life’ from fun, Bible based stories and interactive play in a safe place for your little ones to grow. |

THE ARK
3 and 4 year olds
Noah’s Ark is a story of promise in the Bible. In this area we look forward to sharing with your children some of the promises they can find in the Bible through fun, interactive lessons and creative activities. We want ‘The Ark ‘ to be a safe place where your children feel comfortable coming and where you feel comfortable sharing them with us on a Sunday morning! |

THE RIVER
Kindy and Pre-Primary
Moses was found by Pharaoh's daughter in the river. That was the beginning of an incredible journey which led Moses to lead Gods’ people out of Egypt. In ‘The River’ we want to train your children to be leaders for God and for them to understand how God can use ordinary people to do extraordinary things. We use fun, interactive, Bible based lessons to share with your children about the miracles and promises of God as well as how it applies to their own life at home. |

THE PROMISED LAND
Primary School Years 1 – 4
The Promised Land was full of good food, wealth and represented a new way for the Israelites to live. In this area we look forward to teaching and sharing with your children in worship as well as Biblical and character-based lessons. Of course there’s always time for plenty of fun and for your children to develop friendships with other children who want to grow in their understanding of, and relationship with, God.

MAX – “Live life to the max – 7 days a week.”
Primary School Years 5 - 7
Max is a place where your growing kids can learn more about the Bible and the character of God as they get involved with the teaching and activities on a Sunday morning. This is a great place for them to come and build friendships with leaders and peers who all want to learn more about God and the Bible.
