Christ Church Walshaw is very much a church for people of all ages. However over the last couple of years or so we have been working very hard to make sure our committment to children & young people is matched by our actions.
Baby & Toddler Group
Every Wednesday morning 10am - 11.15am we have a very busy group for babies and children 0 - 5 years old and their carers. There are lots of great toys and craft activities, and we have a story time and songs. Plus there is time for parents / carers to chat, get to know each other and enjoy the refreshments.  
All Age family services
On the third Sunday of each month our morning services are for every member of our church family. These services are not Holy Communion services. They can include action songs, videos, craft activities, prayers which do not have complicated language, and more.

Children's Church
On the second and fourth Sunday morning of each month we have Children's Church for children up to and including primary school Year 6. This takes place while our ordinary service is happening in the main church. The children are in the main service to start as we sing together, and they rejoin us at Holy Communion and again at the end of the service to share with the church what they have been doing ... crafts, prayers, songs ...

School
Our priest Steve and his wife Steph go in to Christ Church C of E Primary School on a regular basis to take school assemblies including teaching the children new songs which we also sing in church. Steve and Steph really enjoy this time in school as it gives them a chance to see children who used to come to Baby & Toddler Group and those who come to church on a Sunday in a different setting.
Steve & Steph also go in to school to take RE lessons and host the children coming into church for various projects and lessons.
