Junior Church
Sunday Mornings
We have Junior Church sessions on Sunday mornings which cover all ages from 0 to 18. We have a good number of committed Junior Church leaders and many helpers from within the church congregation. Our Junior Church is a place where children have FUN but learn about the Christian faith in an inclusive manner from bible stories, songs and simple prayers.
Creche
We have a creche facility for the up to 3 years olds with plenty of toys and bright murals on the walls. There is a small loudspeaker which broadcasts the service unobtrusively into the room so you don't have to miss out while your children are happy playing.
Primary
We have a session for 3 to 7 year olds where the emphasis is on fun while gently introducing the children to familiar bible stories. Activities range from drawing and colouring, craft making, songs, games and even supervised cooking. No two weeks alike! This takes place in our long room which is ideal for putting out tables and chairs yet has enough room for a bit of running around.
Juniors
Our next session is for 7 to 11 year olds. Here there is still lots of fun and many of the activities are as for the 3 to 7's but themed for this age group. The bible stories continue but also with a slant on applying the beliefs of the Christian faith to everyday life, encouraging the children to think through how life all fits together! This age group meets in the the hall.
Seniors
Next we have sessions for lower senior (11-14) and upper senior children (over 14's). The activities here are based at their respective age groups and involve lots of talking through and listening to each other's ideas on all manner of things. Teenagers often have something to say and an opinion they want to share! Lively and fun in the informal lounge.
YF
For those aged 14 and over there is a YF (Youth Fellowship) meeting on Sunday evenings between 7.30 and 9.30pm. Activities range from bowling and games nights through to discussions on hot topics and bible teachings. A lively atmosphere with lots of laughs and quite a few of those moments which make you stop and think!
Holiday Clubs
For children of primary school age (5 to 11) we have holiday clubs which run 2 or 3 times a year. These run on Saturday and Sunday mornings where we have a fun-packed theme that we follow. The events start with an action-packed Saturday morning, followed by hot dogs where parents can also eat with their children and find out what they have been doing. This is followed by a sunday morning special children's service. The key word for both of these sessions is for the children to have fun. We have singing with keyboard, guitar and drums, craft-making activities, games, drama sketches, stories and more! The children love coming to these events.

Safeguarding
At TMC we take the protection and wellbeing of children in our care very seriously. We have a written safeguarding policy which is actively followed and regularly reviewed. This incorporates the standards set down by the Methodist church on numbers and composition of adults in each group and how children and any vulnerable person should be treated. ALL of our Junior Church leaders and helpers are CRB (Criminal Records Buereau) cleared and we have a member of church who is not attached to the Junior Church section who acts as our safeguarding officer.
Please Note: there are no photographs of our childrens activities on this website in accordance with our safeguarding policy, thank you
