Can I bring my kids?
Yes! Kids are very welcome.

Yes! Banyule Uniting Church offers Kids Church every Sunday, during school terms, which is integrated with Family@10. It is organised by a fantastic group of trained leaders – who offer the program for children to learn and discover what being a Christian is like on an everyday basis. This is offered for kinder and primary school age kids through games, activities, craft and singing. All leaders are aware of the responsibilities of child safety and all have working with children checks.

Babies and toddlers are encouraged to stay with their parents during worship at Family@10. There are toys and books and a quiet crèche area however they are free to roam around during the service and engage as they desire.

If you little one is too little for KidsChurch (under 4), Family@10 has a space for you to sit with your child while still being able to attend church.
