Children & Families Ministry
Welcome! Find your family’s home at Glen Waverley Uniting Church. We’re a vibrant community where children and families can grow together in faith, build lasting friendships, and explore life’s big questions in a safe and supportive environment.
All our staff and volunteers who work with children have a current Working with Children Check.
Sunday Squad:
Where Faith Comes Alive!
Every Sunday at 10am, kids from four-year-old kinder to year 8 start together in worship, then head off with our amazing leaders for their own epic adventure! Get ready for interactive Bible stories, hands-on crafts, and fun activities that make faith exciting and real. It’s where curiosity meets wonder, big questions are welcomed, and friendships grow – not just Sunday school, but a place where kids discover just how much they’re loved!
School Holiday Adventures – Where Fun Meets Faith!
Get ready for the highlight of every school break! Our exciting School Holiday Programs run during the second week of holidays for kids aged 8-13, featuring lunch, games, and amazing themed adventures. Easter holidays bring hands-on cooking fun where kids become master chefs, Mid-Year holidays transform into a circus extravaganza with juggling and amazing skills, and September holidays dive into movie magic with film-making and character fun. Each program is packed with creative crafts, active games, and plenty of laughter with new friends.
Playgroup:
Little Ones, Big Fun!
Every Tuesday during school term from 10am-12pm, our friendly and inclusive Playgroup welcomes babies through to 4-year-olds for two hours of joy! Watch your little explorer enjoy fun activities, singing time that gets everyone giggling, yummy snacks, and indoor/outdoor play adventures. Every child is celebrated exactly as they are, and parents are encouraged to relax, connect, and be part of the fun too. It’s where little ones make new friends and families find a warm, caring community – more than just playtime, it’s where lifelong friendships begin for everyone!
