Kids at Hope Rolleston
Haere mai!
Kids are our future! We want to work with parents and caregivers to help them equip their kids to take their place in God’s world. We work hard to lead kids into a living relationship with Jesus that is worked out 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. While our programmes are entertaining and fun, we want their faith to be alive so that they experience God’s word and see it working in their lives and impacting their homes, neighbourhoods and the world for the extension of God’s kingdom.

Sundays
Primary Adventurers (Years 1-6)
Our Primary Adventurer’s Children’s programme runs every Sunday throughout the year for children in Years 1 through 6. During school terms we run a Bible-based programme that seeks to teach children the fundamentals of faith through a fun and interactive curriculum.
The programme is run by helpers from our church community. Our children join in worship with the wider church community in the auditorium before being released to their age-appropriate programmes. Each programme includes a warm welcome, songs, an engaging lesson, games, and a craft, all designed specifically for the children's age and stage of development.
9:00am Service
For our 9:00am service, our children are broken up in to 3 groups based on school year: Years 1 & 2 , Years 3 & 4 , Years 5 & 6.
10:45am Service
For our 10:45am service, our children are broken up into 2 groups based on school year: Years 1 to 3 and Years 4 to 6.

Preschool Adventurers (Ages 0 to new 5 year olds)
Preschool Adventurers is a fun, safe place for our littlies to enjoy once the children of the church are released to their programmes. Our desire is for the children to love coming to church to learn biblical truths through playing and listening to stories. The programme is run by helpers from our church community.
A typical morning includes free play, colouring-in and mat time. Mat time is a short fun interactive session which includes a Bible or values story, prayer and sometimes a song, followed by rice crackers and water.
Children under 18 months
Children under 18 months are welcome to attend Preschool Adventurers with a parent or caregiver. A Mothers' Room is available at the back of the auditorium for those who may prefer a quieter space.
Children between 18 months and 5 years
The Preschool Adventurers program is designed for children approximately 18 months to 4 years of age. As children reach the age of 5, they are encouraged to transition into the Primary Adventurers group when they are ready.
