CHILDREN AT GORDON BAPTIST
Children are a vital part of our church community, and we involve them in our programs to provide loving, safe and fun environments in which children can grow and learn more about God.
We take great care to nurture and protect our children. All our leaders (paid and voluntary) involved in the children’s and youth programs hold current Working With Children's Checks with the NSW Government and have undertaken Child Protection and Creating Safe Spaces training provided through the National Council of Churches in Australia within the last three years.
Our All Together (all ages) gatherings provide a space for children and adults to join in worship together.
YOUTH
Our youth meet on Friday nights 7.15-9.15pm at 20 Park Avenue, Gordon. There is also a zone in our All Together gatherings on Sunday mornings (9am), for youth to hang out and learn together.
Youth are not the church of tomorrow if they are not the church of today.
