Children and Young People

Leckhampton Parish Church

Welcome to St Peter’s

Being a Christian can be described as making friends with Jesus. This can take a lifetime, but it is more likely to happen when we start in childhood. You can help your child by taking advantage of the help available at St Peter’s.

You will receive a warm welcome and help in making that friendship possible for your child.

May God bless you as you do your best in nurturing your child in the Christian faith.

Children in church

Children are important to the life at St Peter’s, and are warmly welcomed. God put the wiggle in children – don’t feel that you need to suppress it in God’s house! We have a carpeted area with toys, books, drawing and colouring materials, if you would like to use them. Loos and baby changing facilities are across the churchyard in the Cottages.

If you would like to meet with other toddlers and babies during the week, Little Pebbles runs every Tuesday during termtime from 10-11.30am.
