Vineyard Kids
Vineyard Kids
We love having a heap of children at Leeds Vineyard and if you are 11 years old or younger, Vineyard Kids is for you! Our vision is to teach and equip children to follow Jesus. We love to do this in an environment where the children feel loved, valued and safe. Most of what we do happens on Sunday mornings, take a look at the various groups we have below.
If you're new and would like to find out more, please get in touch with Mary Bayana.
If your child has any additional accessibility requirements please email and we can discuss how best to support you. We're committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Find out more on our Safeguarding page.
Sundays
We love having lots of children at Sunday Gathering. We currently have 3 groups where children ages 0 to Year 6 can learn about Jesus in age appropriate ways. You can find out more about each group below.
Sunday Gathering begins at 11.15am. Shortly after welcoming everyone the host will let you know when to take your child/ren through to Vineyard Kids. On week 3 children stay in for 25 minutes of all-age worship, and on Week 4 we share Communion together, and then children go to their groups.
A parent/carer for each child needs to stay on site at Headingley Methodist Church while children are in their groups.
Visiting?
Please tell one of our welcome team that you are here for the first time and they will introduce you to someone on the Vineyard Kids Team.
If you're new you'll be asked to complete a consent form which lets the Vineyard Kids Team know of any dietary requirements, allergies, medication, additional needs etc. You can fill this in ahead of visiting us here.
You'll be given a numbered tag when you sign your child/children in - please keep hold of this to sign your child out at the end. At 12.30pm the host will announce it's time to collect the children from Vineyard Kids. Please take your tag with you and sign out your child.
Roly Polys
Roly Polys is suitable for babies that can sit (around 6 months old) up to children aged 3. Whilst crawling and toddling, playing and singing, dancing and jumping, the children are taught simple truths that God loves them and that they are special.
Jumping Beans
Jumping Beans is the place for 3 year olds - Year 2 children to come and worship God. Through play, stories, crafts, songs, prayers and more we learn about what it means to be a friend of God and how we can talk and listen to Him. We also have story sacks full of items that help the stories of the Bible come to life and games and crafts that help tell the story too.
Connect
Connect is the older part of Vineyard Kids, for Years 3 - 6. Through games, dramas, parties, chats, challenges and movies, the children learn about Jesus and how to follow Him in their everyday life.
For the Bible part of each Connect session our children split into two groups, Lower Connect (Year 3 and 4) and Upper Connect (Year 5 and 6). This helps the children engage with the Bible in a way that suits their age.
