We want our children and young people to love coming to church. We also want to give parents all the support they need to help them do that too. There’s lots on for families at LBC, including a monthly Messy Church and a weekly parent and toddler group. On regular Sunday mornings, there are groups for all ages. Our young people usually stay with us for the first half hour, then head to their groups.

Crèche (for 0 to 4-year-olds)

Crèche is a good place to go if you need feeding, or if you’re worried that your parent is making too much noise in the service. You’ll find it downstairs at LBC; We have a good range of baby and toddler toys, and there’s a live audio feed so your parents can listen to the service while you’re there. There are no leaders in Crèche, so your mum or dad will need to stay with you until you leave.

MiniKidz (for Reception to Year 2)

We love exploring the Bible through stories, videos and crafts. We tend to cover the New Testament from late autumn until Easter, and the Old Testament through the rest of the year. Two of our key resources are Scripture Union’s Bubbles and Splash!, alongside the Jesus Storybook Bible and its excellent video series. There’s a strong focus on making things too. You’ll rarely leave MiniKidz without a drawing or model of some kind!

LiveKidz (for Years 3 to 6)

LiveKidz is all about getting to know God better, discovering how much He loves us and investigating who this man Jesus is and what He’s done for us. We do this in all kinds of different ways, from games and stories to dramas, quizzes, music, videos, art – and of course by digging into the Bible. As we learn more about Jesus, we discover more about what it means to build a relationship with Him and organise our lives round him.

RS2 (Years 7 to 9) 

RS2 (which stands for Rock Solid) is our group for young people in school years 7–9. Moving from primary to secondary school is an exciting new chapter, but it can come with its challenges too. RS2 is here to encourage us to stay firm in Jesus as we grow.
We use the Urban Saints Energize material to help us explore the Bible in a way that’s engaging, relevant, and rooted in real life. Together, we dig into God’s Word to see how it speaks into our everyday experiences. We support and learn from one another as we step out in faith, building friendships and growing stronger in our walk with God.
We also love to have fun—whether it’s through games, quizzes, stories, or just spending time together. RS2 is a space where we can be ourselves, encourage each other, and be inspired to follow Jesus with confidence.

Rooted (Year 7+) 

Rooted is our weekly discipleship group for young people in school years 7–13 who want to grow in their faith and deepen their relationship with God. We meet every Sunday evening during term time from 6:00–7:30pm.
Rooted is a safe and welcoming space where young people can explore what it means to follow Jesus, spend time with other Christians, and support one another through the highs and lows of life. Each week we study the Bible, pray, play games, enjoy snacks, and build lasting friendships.
We join with other local churches for youth worship evenings every other month, and in the summer, we head to Dreaming the Impossible—a youth festival that inspires and equips young people in their faith.
Whether you’re new to church or have been coming for years, you’re welcome at Rooted! If you would like any more information, please contact Lizzie: 07852574974 or lizzie@lymingtonbaptist.org
