About Children's Ministry
We here at Hope Valley Uniting Church are passionate about God’s children. We desire to see children come to know and experience the deep love that God has for them; to respond to God with their lives and bring others to do the same!
Stepping Stones
Our Stepping Stones program is and integral part of the 10:30am Sunday service.
Junior Stepping Stones offers an interactive program involving learning and play, for children aged 3-4 years and Reception to Grade One.
Primary Stepping Stones groups children in Grades 2&3, Grades 4&5 and Grades 6&7 for bible study, games and craft.
At Stepping Stones we always have fun.
Stepping Stones is an exciting time for children to come along and build friendships, their faith in Christ and have a blast in the process.
We have singing, dancing, stories, games and small groups where we learn more about Christ and have a whole heap of fun in the process. So come along for a fun filled adventure.
