Shore Elim Kids

We hope you will enjoy your time with us!

At Shore Elim, our kids come into the church service so we can start the
morning together as one big family and then move out to their fun groups!

Please read on to learn more about our groups and what we do.

6 Months - 4 years old

Our Sparkz kids are so awesome! This group caters for our preschoolers from 6 months up until they start school. It is a huge development time, but our big kids are so good at looking after the young ones and we see great friendships formed at this young age.
We have a relaxed structure to our time together. The first half of our time is free play, then we pack up for morning tea and listen to a Bible story. We are working through The Beginner’s Bible curriculum which sees us listen to a story and doing an activity based on the story.
Our regular kids have a folder that gets updated with photos and activities. Once it is full it goes home and becomes a great keepsake of what they have learnt at Church.

Sparkz meet in the VIP room (on the far end of the auditorium) when the children are released from church. For our kid’s safety, please come and pick your child up once the service has finished.

School Years 7-10

Voltage meet most Sundays after worship for their study. They have regular social events, some of which are combined with other local youth groups. For more info get in touch with Nathan & Tammy here

We have an amazing bunch of kids that come along on a Sunday. They are so unique and we strive to provide an environment that caters for each one of these individuals. We are constantly looking at what we are doing, and changing things so the kids are engaged and have fun, all while learning good foundational Bible knowledge that they can use in their everyday lives.

If you want to know more, do not hesitate to contact us by emailing kids@shoreelim.org.nz

Phil & Jo Jobbins (Kids Team Leaders)

Morning tea (biscuit & water) is provided in all areas. Sparkz leaders will occasionally bring fruit to share as well. Please let us know if there are any allergies and/or medical issues so we can keep all our kids safe.

School Years 1-6

Our school kids are cool! We have great PowerZone programme with an amazing bunch of kids who have fun doing many different activities and games together led by great leaders! We are currently going through a curriculum called What’s in the Bible? It presents the Bible in a fun way without watering down the content.
Our kids also have a time of prayer, memory verses, games and activities. They are given the chance to get up the front and lead certain parts of the session which gives them a great chance to become involved in ‘church life’.

PowerZone meets downstairs when the children are released from church and have a time of free play when they arrive, which may look like chaos, but it is a great time to meet the leaders and settle kids. We can go a little longer than you lot upstairs, so grab yourself a cuppa and make sure you get a chocy bikkie before we devour the rest!
