Our Salt group bridges the transition between preschool and primary age. Salt kids experience activities carefully tailored to their age, with nurturing leaders to make Sundays a highlight of their week.
Blaze | Spark | Fusion | Flame
Once the kids turn seven they join one of our main groups. These are mixed primary-age groups. Each group has dedicated leaders whose Sunday input supports parents in discipling their children.
Whānau Events
Once a term, we have a Families Ministry event.
These are fun, family-focused events that help bring the kids and parents together.
These range from our church picnic, Families Barn Dance, World Vision 40hr famine challenge and our Halloween alternative: the St Paul’s Families Carnival.
All these events create a fun place to bring friends and connect as families.

Ignite School Holiday Programme
This is not your run-of-the-mill babysitting holiday programme! Our Ignite Holiday Programme aims to engage, excite and ignite the kids who attend. We not only have a lot of fun (Engage), but we do a range of activities (Excite) and build into the kids' faith (Ignite). This all happens through games, crafts, experiments, challenges, baking, and creative stories. On top of that, food is provided!
The Ignite Holiday Programme happens in the first week of the school holidays, after terms 1, 2 and 3. Numbers are limited, and spots will open up in the weeks prior to the holidays.

1:1 Camp
The 1:1 Camp is an opportunity for parents to help their kids grow in their faith. The camp is a basic overnight camping experience, and all the activities are focused on one parent and one child.
During the camp, we facilitate opportunities for parents to share their own faith and why they go to church, and enable the kids to ask questions.
It’s a fantastic experience that makes a big difference in our kids' faith journey. 1:1 Camps happen in early March.
