ROAR Groups

Lion Cubs (1+ year old)

Our Lion Cubs room is specifically designed for children from 12 months old. Each child will stay in the same room for the entire calendar year. This will enable the children to be familiar with the leaders, their friends, programme and the surroundings. Our team of leaders in Lion Cubs aim to provide a fun, safe, and loving environment for both parent and child as we share Jesus' love with them. Although the sessions are structured, children are encouraged to participate according to their interest. The session includes free playtime, praise and worship, interactive Bible story, simple craft related to the Bible story and snack time. Each month features a different teaching focus. Look out for the monthly handout that you can use to reinforce each months’ Bible teaching at home through the use of rhyme. Mums and dads are encouraged to be involved in Lion Cubs to enjoy seeing their little ones begin their spiritual adventure with God.

Little Giants (2-3 years old)

Little Giants is for children aged 2 to 3 years. The programme provides a friendly, encouraging and safe environment in which the children can enjoy learning about God and how they can have a relationship with him. The session includes free playtime, snack time, a mat time during which we have praise and worship, story time, prayer, and hands-on activities that helps them learn about God. The children then do a craft activity which relates directly to the lesson. Each month a copy of the bottom line & rhyme is sent home with the children. Parents are encouraged to be involved in the programme on a regular basis. The wonderful team of leaders have a heart to model & teach these young children how to have a wonderful relationship with God.

Mighty Warriors (3 years old)

Mighty Warriors is a preschool program for children in kindergarten. It is a fun and interactive style program, which allows children to hear about Jesus and understand who he is to them personally. The leaders who run this program all love young children and are passionate about demonstrating Gods love through their ministry. In the Mighty Warriors program we aim to provide a service that is safe, accessible and enjoyable to all children. We also understand that children learn in three main ways; hearing, seeing and participation. Therefore we ensure that the children are given opportunities to engage in an enjoyable program, which meet these requirements. We understand the importance of providing preschool children with age appropriate activities to help develop both their social, emotional, physical, cognitive and of course spiritual needs. Our friendly team work hard to provide the best program, to encourage, develop and support the children’s relationship with God.

Pacers is a preschool program for 4-5 year olds. We teach the children the three main bible truths of God Made Me, God Loves Me and Jesus is my Friend Forever through components of praise and worship, prayer, bible story, small group time and fun games . The children particularly enjoy the small group time where they are encouraged to be involved in interactive conversation and activities that reinforce the bible lesson. The children also love the fun games which allows them to run and jump, laugh and cheer together. We finish off by completing a craft item that is related to the bible lesson and helps to develop further conversations at home about what the children learnt at Pacers Church. Come and join us for a fun time as we hear about how much God loves and cares for us. We would love to see you there!

456 (Grade 4, 5 & 6)

456 is a dynamic program that tackles the tough questions our preteen children are asking about their relationships with God, others and themselves. We dig into the real-life issues they are dealing with every day - and find out what the Bible has to say about them. Our preteens are bombarded on a daily basis with difficult challenges, temptations and questions. We understand that parents have the biggest influence over their children’s lives and know that learning is not just on the weekends. We provide parents with material to carry on the conversation at home in easily outlined handouts. Some of the topic’s that we discuss include, "What's the Big Deal About Sin?" and "My Relationship with God: Who Do You Think He Is?". Our time together includes games, video clips and small group discussions. Click here for more information about ROAR 456ers Social
