Tenacious Kidz
Welcome to Tenacious Kidz! If you have children from age 1 to year 6, then we are so glad you are here!
At Tenacious Kidz we seek to help children find and grow in their relationship with God. We get to do some free play, praise and worship, Bible stories and crafts.

Sundays
Tenacious on Sundays is the children’s programme that we run every Sunday alongside our four adult services. We have two children’s groups: Mini Kidz (age 1 – Reception), and Big Kidz (Year 1 – Year 6). In each of our programmes we have some free play, praises and worship, a Bible story and craft. For the Big Kidz we also have connect group time within their age groups.
​
Tenacious Explorers
On Sundays, we offer a space for children with additional needs called "Explorers". It includes a sensory room and activities such as a "Velcro Bible". We integrate them with the Big Kidz programme and then take them to the Explorers' rooms. We tailor the program to suit each child's needs.

Hostels
Tenacious Kidz and our social action department partner to provide support for the residents in our local hostels. We run a children’s club in one of the hostels bi-weekly during term time, and visit other hostels throughout the year.

While we are there we play games, learn a Bible story, have discussion groups, and do craft with the kids. We also speak with the parents that are there to encourage and support them.
NEXT gen
"Next Gen." is our leadership and serving programme for Year 6's. We believe that everyone has a role to play within the kid’s ministry. Next Gen. helps us to start training children in how to serve and lead others.
This programme is designed to empower our Year 6's to serve within Tenacious Kidz, on a Sunday morning, and help to grow their heart for serving others. Some of the roles they will be carrying out are: leading games/ leading praise and worship songs/ helping in connect groups/ operating the PowerPoint. All they need to do to be part of the Next Gen programme is to fill out the form and to buy a t-shirt (which costs £7) which they can wear every time they attend Tenacious on Sundays.

Resources
Here at Tenacious Kidz, we believe that families can, and should, disciple their children at home. We know that some people feel like they cannot disciple their kids for a whole load of reasons: “not enough resources”, “not enough knowledge”, “not enough creativity”, “not enough time”.
Well, we are here to help you to help your kids, and help you to have “enough” in whatever area you do not feel like you have “enough” in. Sadly we cannot give you more time, but we are hoping that when you feel like you have enough of everything else, that you will choose to invest your time in using them.
