Close Godalming Minster

At the heart of our vision for Godalming Minster lies our commitment to children, youth, and families ministry. We believe that children aren’t just the church of tomorrow but an integral part of it today. Our mission is to introduce them to Jesus, empower them to build a personal relationship with Him, and equip them to live Spirit-filled lives that contribute to God’s Kingdom.

Every week in term time

Children on Sundays

Join us at the 10.30am Contemporary Service at Church Street for a fun time singing, playing and creating as we explore bible stories together. We start in the service to teach the grown ups an action song, then make our escape to the Octagon.

Tiny Tigers is for pre-school ages 2-3 if your child has started school they'll be in the Ark, and school years 3 to 6 head to Explorers in the snug.

You can register your child beforehand, or on arrival.

Franklyn Road Youth Café

Join us on Wednesday afternoons from 3:15 pm to 5:15 pm (term-time) for an action-packed afternoon of activities such as arts and crafts, computer games, board and card games, Table Tennis, homework help, space to just chill and chat, and much more.

We know how tired and hungry you can get after a long day of school so we even have free snacks including toast, fruit, biscuits, milkshakes, and squash.

We are open to all young people in school years 5 to 6. Come and hang out with your friends and make new ones! Your first session is free and then it’s £1 per session.

Celebrate family with us!

There's popular events for families with primary age children at special times of the year.

Join us this Shrove Tuesday for the after-school pancake party at Brighton Road.

Watch out for other highlights such as the Easter Garden Service and Egg Hunt, Summer Holiday Club and Light Party. Keep an eye on the calendar or subscribe to the notices to here about what's coming up.
