As a church, we are committed to nurturing children and young people in Christian faith:
- Our Sunday services each week are always intended to be all-age with activities for children available.
- We support our Team Messy Church, which meets monthly on the fourth Sunday of the month at 4.00 p.m. and rotates around a variety of local venues in our seven parishes.
- We also support Stepping Stones, a Friday after-school club who meet in Ryarsh.
- Teenagers in school years 9 to 13 attend our Team Youth Group called ‘Fusion’ which meets monthly at St Martin’s, Ryarsh on a Friday evening. They are also encouraged to join in on Sundays with the adults and take part in the life of the church in various ways.
- We value our strong relationship with Trottiscliffe Church of England Primary School and enjoy using the church building to celebrate festivals together.
Safeguarding
It is important that our children and young people are safe when in the care of adults running our activities. We are committed to making sure we follow best practice in safeguarding. You can find out more about safeguarding at St Peter & St Paul’s here, or read further details about the Kent Downs & Malling Team’s safeguarding policy statement here.
