Woven Kids
We believe in creating an environment where children and their families feel like they belong, have space to develop their belief and are nurtured to become the individuals God made them to be.
We run a range of activities, catering for all ages and abilities, making sure there is a space for everyone!

Children and families are welcome in all churches across the Woven network, the types of activities differ depending on location.
