KIDS at Telford Minster
“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
At Telford Minster KIDS, we aim to create safe and open spaces where children can discover Jesus for themselves, grow as apprentices to Him, build friendships and have a whole lot of fun!
From 0-11yrs there are activities, groups and events happening each week and throughout the term to try out or get involved with, including our 10am Gathering every Sunday.

Kids check in at the welcome desk on entry to church and join in with the main church family at the start of our gatherings.
Later, the kids head out to worship together and the sessions include songs, fun, games and crafts around a theme from the Bible.
10am – We have Minster Kids groups for 4-11yr olds. The welcome space has age-appropriate toys, books and story sacks for pre-school children who need a distraction. The TV relay is on so parents who wish to sit here with their children won’t miss out on the service.

Consent + Safeguarding
We require a parental consent form to be completed for children to attend Minster Kids. You can see and fill in the form here.
At Telford Minster, we take safety very seriously. We believe that everyone should be able to engage with God and our church family in a safe and welcoming environment, especially children, young people and vulnerable adults.
We work hard to ensure that this happens as best we can – please check out our safeguarding page for more information.
