At LifeSpring we honour and value our children and know that they are each exceptional and treasured by their heavenly Father. Our vision is to give the space and the environment for our children to encounter God for themselves and for them to fulfil their destiny and God-given potential. We are on an exciting journey with our children. In the last year our children's ministry has been transformed from learning about God to seeking God's blueprint for each meeting and experiencing His presence in powerful ways. Our teaching is based on four declarations:                • God is in a good mood                • Jesus blood paid for everything                • I am important                • Nothing is impossible The Rock The name was inspired through a prophetic picture of a stick of rock. No matter where the rock is broken the same words are seen through its core. We believe that the vision and values of LifeSpring church should be at the core of the Childrens ministry so that our children and young people are on the same journey along with the whole church family, going deeper into the love of the Father. The Rock meetings set the themes for the smaller groups the following week, giving opportunity for in depth and age-specific teaching and activities. Pebbles Pebbles meet every week and provides a caring and playful environment for our babies and toddlers from 0 to when they would go to nursery (the term after the child turns 3). Stepping Stones For Nursery and Reception age, Stepping Stones meets on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of every month. Stepping Stones encourages the children to take their first steps in knowing their heavenly Father, and is a fun time of play, craft and sharing together. Gems For school years 1, 2 and 3, Gems meets on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of every month. Our aim is that the Gems grow in their understanding that they are unique and important to God and that they are very precious to Him. Boulders For school years 4, 5 and 6, Boulders meets on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of every month. In Boulders we encourage the children to become strong and mighty in their inheritance as children of God. Magma  For school years 7 - 13, Magma meet on the 4th Sunday of every month.
