Children and Youth
World Changers
We believe that all children have the unique potential to encounter God and to have a relationship with him. No matter how small, they are all are loved and valued by God and by us.
Psalm 127:3 says ‘Children are a gift from God’. What a joy and a privilege there is in receiving the gift of a child from God. But with this comes the responsibility of training the child for significance.
In World Changers we are committed to supporting parents in the uniqueness, gifting and strengths of their child.
Our crèche is named World Changers as a declaration that children are given to change the world through God’s strength.
World changers is a place where parents can bring babies and pre-school aged children during the service as a safe place for children to play. We have baby changing facilities available and it’s an environment where parents can chat and be supported during what can be a tiring and challenging season of their life raising their children.
God’s Kids
Our vision at Revival Church Billericay is to equip, enable, and empower children to live in the flow of God’s love and power; to move in the supernatural; and never wonder how much they’re worth – because they know whose they are and how valuable they are to God.
Everyone from Reception to Year 4 is welcome at God’s Kids!
We meet together during the service on a Sunday morning to connect with and encounter God. To have fun, and to learn more about life, faith, and Jesus through interactive stories, songs, activities, and crafts, as well as through growing relationships with both each other, and our leaders.
“[Jesus] said, “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.” Matthew 18:3-5
We believe that children are integral to the church of today and adults have much to learn from the innocence and belief of children. At Revival Church Billericay children are accepted and loved, listened to and valued by children and adults alike.
Ignite
We’re called Ignite because we want to have a life-long passion for Jesus kindled in our children which they can then carry out into the world to ignite others.
Ignite is our older children’s group for school years 5 and 6.
In Ignite we create the opportunity to:
- Discover the fullness of our identity in Christ.
- Get to know who God is and keep getting to know Him better.
- Put our faith into practice in our everyday lives, because God is as active now as he was in Bible times.
- Impact our communities with God’s love.
- Talk! We chat together lots about life and what God is doing and about what He is showing us in His word. We talk with Jesus too because prayer is an important part of our time together.
- Experience intimacy with our Father and the presence of Holy Spirit.
Catalysts
Catalysts is our Sunday young people’s group, meeting together to grow in their relationship with God and with each other.
The Apostle Paul advised his young protege, Timothy to train himself for godliness (1 Tim 4:7).
As an athlete trains to improve in their discipline, so by God’s grace we also train in order to mature as Christians. Change is more than possible because we serve a great and powerful God. As we allow God to change us so we become agents of change to those around us.
We have a vision that in Catalysts these young disciples will not just be Christian bystanders but will instead—in the power of the Holy Spirit—be active participants in the Kingdom of God. They are taught the Bible, prayed for and encouraged along their Christian journey. All this is done in a loving environment, with fun, laughter and, of course, cake.
