CHILDREN AND
Youth work
We're proud of the wide range of groups on offer to children and young people at Walsworth Road Baptist. As part of our commitment to our youth, we appointed a dedicated Youth Worker in 2016 as part of our staff team.
Youth Mix
Youth Mix is open to all young people in Years 6 - 11, meeting from 6.30pm on Sundays during term time. Sessions vary in format and location, usually in the lower church hall or occasionally off-site for an activity! Contact Helen for more details.
Jam Club
Jam Club is for any children aged 3-11yrs and gathers during our morning service; sessions include Bible based teaching, activities and play time.
Everyone in Church
Everyone in Church is a project we run to include and involve the children and young people into a regular service when we are occasionally unable to provide Jam Club due to a shortage of helpers - click here for more. Each activity pack includes fidget toys, items relating to the service including an activity, drawing, etc. and other related matter, and a copy of our Connect resource - click here for the dates of upcoming Everyone in Church Sundays.
Creche
A parent/carer led Creche is available for children under 3yrs on a Sunday morning, where the church service can still be viewed and heard.
Toddler Group
Wrigglers and Tiddlers is open to pre-school children and their parents/carers. They meet on Thursday mornings from 9.30-11.30am term time only. Through early 2026, a new team is been developed to further grow on the work of our previous and much treasured Wrigglers leader Sarah Partridge who stepped aside at Christmas after 6 years as leader, having previously also been an attendee.
Other groups
Several other groups for children and young people gather during term time, including our uniformed groups from Girlguiding and Scouting.
To ensure we offer a safe and welcoming environment for children and young people meeting on the premises, our leaders undergo regular safeguarding training.
