Questions families often ask
Can I bring my baby or toddler to the service?
Yes, please do. Babies and toddlers are very welcome in worship. Our Just Bring Them page explains why.
What if my child is noisy or won’t sit still?
That’s completely fine. Wiggles, whispers and little voices are part of church life here. You can sit wherever you like, and step out and come back in whenever you need to.
Is there somewhere to feed or change my baby?
[Add details of any baby-changing facilities, quiet space or feeding area here.] If you’d like to check anything before you come, please get in touch.
Who do I speak to about Tea ’n Tots?
Please get in touch and we’ll put you in contact with the right person, or just have a word with someone after a Sunday service. Northgate Junior is an online space, so you can explore it any time.
How do you keep children safe?
We take the safety of children and young people seriously. You can read our safeguarding policy in full.
