Our vision for our children’s ministry at St Nicholas’ is that all our groups, activities and services should be fun and friendly places where we can discover more about God and what it means to follow Him.

We do this in many different ways and you can find out more about everything that happens for children, young people and families below.

Sunday services

Most of our families with children attend our 10am service at which we provide activities and facilities for babies and children.

Monthly Family Worship

On the first Sunday of each month we have a special service for all generations. We include a high degree of participation and aim to keep this to 45 minutes. Baptisms and Thanksgivings usually take place during these services.

Messy Church

Messy Church is a church for families at a time when it is a bit easier for them to come.

We meet twice a term and start with a variety of craft activities all based on a theme or bible story. It often gets a bit messy! We then have messy worship, where we sing songs, join in a story and pray.

When? Twice a term on a Saturday afternoon

Where? Sports and Social Club, Burton or in Church

The Burton Youth Group [TBY]

TBY is a church youth group for young people in school years 7-10.

Together we have fun, socialise and explore our faith and relationship with God. We are a church group so our faith is very important to us.

When? Mondays (except 1st Monday) from 6pm to 7.30pm

Where? The Vestry
