Tom and Madeline Mehaffy lead the flourishing Children's Ministry in Glenabbey. With a variety of dedicated teams this ministry covers children up to the age of eleven and includes both toddlers and baby crèche services for both Sunday services. For more information please contact Madeline in the church office Tel 90849600 or email madeline.mehaffy@glenaabbey.org.uk

Crèche: On Sunday mornings we offer full separate crèche facilities for all toddlers and babies, allowing parents to relax knowing their children are being well cared for in the bright, pleasant, dedicated surroundings of each of the crèches. Security identity passes are issued to ensure that children can only be collected from crèche by the specified parent or guardian. If you are needed at any time during the service you can be contacted easily and discreetly.

Live the adventure: On Sunday mornings children from the ages of 4 to 11 have their own programme. Using material specifically developed for children, the Bible is taught in an enjoyable way, linking biblical principles with a whole range of crafts, music, games etc. Working in small groups the children make friends easily and many parents have contrasted their own, often dull experience of children's work in churches with this imaginative and effective programme which runs alongside each of the Sunday morning adult services. A security badge system is in operation to ensure the children's safety.

XTB: XTB is a great opportunity for kids (around P7 age) to deepen their faith as we look at some of the basics of New Testament teaching. In addition to the primary aim of deepening their faith, we believe it is important for the children to develop relationships, not only with each other, but also with some of the leaders, who will be good role models for them as they grow up in Glenabbey.

Trekkers: Friday night, from 7.00 - 8.30pm, sees the church site invaded by a whole host of kids from P4 - P7. After a busy school week kids need to release some of their energy and there's nowhere better to do this than at Trekkers. Here they can enjoy loads of high energy games and activities, plus the incredibly important tuck!. We divide the kids into smaller groups for games then they all come together for a short interactive relevant talk and tuck shop. Other activities include cinema nights, fun nights, a weekend away and a summer camp. So why not bring your kids and encourage them to bring their friends - you'll all be really welcome.

Kids For Christ (KFC): Running alongside Trekkers on Friday nights from 7.00 - 8.30pm KFC provides a gentler, less threatening environment for the younger children, yet it allows them to be part of the Friday night fun. The kids come along to a varied programme of games, craft, a bible insight and of course the ever popular tuck. Other activities include game nights, video nights, outings and fun nights. All children in the age group will be made very welcome.

Football: Tuesday night is football night for the P4's - P7's. From 6.00 - 6.45pm the kids play indoor football in the Valley Leisure Centre. There's even a man of the match award to encourage all those budding David Beckhams. Everyone is welcome and parents can stay and watch if they wish - (its cheaper than Sky).
