Kids Programme
We are so excited for Arise Kids at The Gathering!
Our theme this year is
FORWARD WITH JESUS.
We are believing that kids will have a new revelation of God, a fresh encounter which would propel them FORWARD into the journey of faith that is ahead of them.
Our memory verse across every session is:
Hebrews 4:16 NLT - So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God.
There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. We want every child to leave confident to boldly enter God’s presence, we will do this by imparting practical faith steps for each child to live out their faith.
Each message we will give kids a “tool” to put in their bag to help them walk forward with Jesus.

The 5–11-year-olds will be transported by bus to Sacred Heart College for our services. The school is an 8-minute drive from the Arise Centre, and we will have transport available if your child needs you/we can bring them back if needed. If you are feeling unsure about your 5-year-old travelling, they are welcome to join the 3–4-year-olds programme for The Gathering. The children will travel in crews (small groups) and have buddies for transport as well as having a high ratio of leaders to children. We have thorough systems in place to look after your children and take transportation very seriously.
