St Peter's Loudwater : St Peter's Kids

St Peter’s Kids is our children’s expression of St Peter's Church. Where we provide a safe and engaging environment for children to learn about Jesus, build great friendships and have loads of fun in the process. St Peter's Kids exists to lead and encourage the kids in our church to live a Christ-centred life. Head over and like our Facebook and Instagram pages to get even more from our St Peter's Kids team!

During our church services and other events throughout the year, we provide an environment for children to experience and engage with the presence and love of God. Through our age-specific groups, our hope is that your children will build long-lasting friendships, enjoy fun games, engage in stories and hear Christ-centred Bible teaching. We want to create special moments, that children will never forget, and it is our joy to play our part in raising young people for Jesus.

The Ark

The Ark is for children aged 0-3 years. We have a range of activities for your young children to do, with DBS helpers on hand to ensure your children have a great time whilst with us. Much like normal creches you are welcome to stay with your child or leave them in the very capable hands of our volunteers. We have a live feed of the service relayed in The Ark so you won't miss out on the main service if you choose to stay with your child.

Little Lions is for children aged between 3-5 years and takes place in our Old Vicarage. Whilst the service is taking place, children will take part in a variety of different activities, including a story time and craft. They will also have the opportunity for some free play with a wide range of age appropriate toys.

AllStars white line copy

All Stars is our group for children aged between 6-10 years. Here, the young people will take part in a number of different activities, from games and worship, to craft and teaching. We aim to keep each part of our service fun and interactive, with plenty on offer to keep the children engaged.

Planning your Visit

new to church website

Whoever you are, wherever you’re from, and whatever your life looks like right now, we’d love to welcome you to St Peter’s. Everyone’s invited; just come. We meet for our Sunday service at 10am, here’s what to expect when you come:

Most of us hesitate before walking into a place full of strangers, but don't panic – you will be welcome and there's no need to take part in anything you’re not comfortable with. We all come as we are, so there's no need to dress up - wear something that makes you feel comfortable.

Where and When

We meet in the main Church building on the corner of Treadaway Hill and Kingsmead Road at 10am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team, if you're unsure where to sit then our team will help you to a seat.

We serve tea and coffee from 9:45am in the small hall opposite the Church, before the service begins. It is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.

Plan your journey:
Our car park is quite small and on Sundays it's reserved for those who have mobility difficulties.
Additional parking is available on the Treadaway Estate opposite the church car park entrance. When making use of the parking on the business estate please only park alongside the fence-line parallel to the businesses. If parking on surrounding residential streets please be considerate as we want to be good neighbours.
Open Google Maps

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up.

Our Service

Our 10am service is an informal service of contemporary worship for all the family. The service begins with a time of all-age worship before children join their groups. Each week we hear a relevant message from the Bible and take time to pray together and respond to what God is saying and doing as we worship. Once a month we share in Holy Communion together.

What about my kids?

We have a great programme lined up for kids of all ages:

The Ark (0 months to 3 years)
Little Lions (3-5 years)
All Stars (5-10 years)
St Peter's Youth (11+ years)

Children stay with their parent or grown-up at the start of the service for the welcome and worship. We really value worshipping God altogether as a family. At the end of the family worship someone will announce that it’s time for the younger members to go to their various groups. You will need to go with your children to their groups and register them as part of our child safety policy.
Please collect your children at the end of the service from their relevant group.
