FX (Faith Explosion)

Imagine a group of around 50 kids (Years 1 to 6 school level) coming together for 45 minutes of singing, laughter, games, special events and Bible teaching.  This is FX, or Faith Explosion.

The children are part of the Family Service, worshipping with their families and the wider church family at 10.30am and are released about 10.40am after Pass the Peace, for their personalised programme. We make opportunity for the children to rejoin their parents for communion at the end of the service.

Enthusiastic gifted teachers aim their teaching at the specific age level of the children they take and interweave activities and games with the lesson.  

Special family events are held regularly to emphasise the family nature of what we do.

Over the last 12 months, these have included events as varied as a Fish & Chip and Movie night, Pancake breakfast, Black and White night (a family community event when we watched the All Blacks on the big screen) and a Wine & Cheese evening for parents incorporating a brief talk on becoming your kids' hero.

Mainly Music

Young children and their cargivers enjoying music, rhyme, rhythm, creative dance and more!

Young children can develop mainy skills through their time at mainly music:
co-ordination, fine motor movements, large motor movements, social interaction, appreciation of music and musical styles and language development.

mainly music provides children with a structured learning environment and then a time of free play.  At the same time, it's a great opportuntiy for parents and caregivers to network with each other.
