KATS stands for “Kids At Toowong on Sunday”
On Sunday during the service, children are encouraged to take part in the children’s talk before moving to the hall in their KATS groups. There are two KATS age groups:
Leopards:
prep - year 2
Lions:
year 3 - year 5
Our Aim
Children’s Ministry at Toowong Uniting Church aims to provide a safe and nurturing place for children to grow in their faith, to make friends, and to be supported and encouraged by the whole church community. It is so wonderful to be able to worship with families and young children! Please don’t worry if your kids make a bit of noise during the service - that’s what kids tend to do! We would much rather have a noisy church than one without families!
Please be in touch with Clare, our Families Pastor, for more information about KATS: c_hankamer@hotmail.com
Our Curriculum
Our KATS leaders use the GodSpace curriculum. Each session encourages the children to get to know God better through praying together, looking at the bible together, themed games and craft.
There are also a number of social events over the year including a Pancake Party, Light Party and Christmas Celebration. We also love it when the kids get involved in the Sunday services, sharing with us about what they’ve been learning in KATS.
Safe Church
TUC has adopted the Uniting Church in Australia Queensland Synod’s Safe Church Policy and believes that every person is precious to God and in following Jesus’ example, we are committed to providing a safe church for all, particularly those who are vulnerable. All volunteers working with children at TUC have up-to-date Blue Cards and have completed the Safe Church training.
