What we do

Our program caters for children from 3-year-old kinder to Grade 6 in 2024.

During our sessions, we hear from God's word, play games, enjoy music, drama and craft activities, spend time in age groups discussing God's word as well and hear from our CMS missionaries.

Volunteer with Kids

If you value lifelong gospel ministry, then teaching children should be important to you! Discipling children to be mission-minded builds a strong foundation for them to grow into missional adults who Pray, Care, Give, and Go into the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Interested? We would love to have you on our team!

This year's theme

At SUTS Kids in 2024 we will be investigating the Psalms. Our theme is Lift Our Eyes, focusing on giving thanks and praise to God for all that he has done for CMS as we Lift Our Eyes to Him.

Why is kids' ministry important?

Ministry to children is important for building lifelong disciples of Jesus. Over 40% of adults state that they came to faith in Jesus before the age of 14.

Teaching children to be mission-minded builds a strong foundation for them to grow into lifelong, missional adults who pray, care, give and go.
