nurturing our youngest disciples
We love helping children at every stage of faith journey, with—safe and age-appropriate—activities and spaces to enable this to happen. Stay up to date with St Bart’s Kids on Instagram and Facebook.

This short video gives a description of what it's like to attend one of our 9:30am services, from a child's perspective.
SEEK is a fun game for all ages that is based on speed and observation. The game includes 57 unique cards that each contain 8 different symbols. Each of the images included in SEEK (Jesus Edition) have been created from key Bible stories found in the Gospels.
The circular cards create a smooth and fun playing experience and the compact storage tin not only protects your cards, but allows you to transport this game anywhere. SEEK is a great game to pull out at a party, on a long drive, while waiting for your meal when dining out, or any number of other occasions. Because SEEK is based purely on graphic images, it is a game that every the youngest members of your family can enjoy and participate.
SEEK has been created by St Bart’s Kids to help engage children with key Bible stories about Jesus. It can be used to reinforce specific Gospel-centred lessons, as a springboard for discussion, or just for fun!
For those in primary school (Years P-6), the afternoon provides for a mix of multi-age teaching and age-specific learning including small group discussion and prayer. Each session offers a wide range of activities, games, learning, and worship that all connect to the Bible. We also host "Little Sparks", an Early Childhood initiative that provides care and play-based learning for any young children (under prep age) of parents attending our son-site Friday afternoon Bible study group.
The sessions are structured, focusing in on the interaction between parent and child.
Currently there are spaces available in both of our sessions. Please contact Hannah for information on how to register.
From the minute families let us know they are growing their family, we count it as a great privilege to be praying for them, and showering them with love and care. Our expecting families ministry aims to prepare and support families as they adjust to life with a new child, providing practical support, linking them with appropriate small group opportunities, and celebrating key milestones.
As part of this, our Parish has implemented a Child Protection Risk Management Plan to assist in protecting our children and other vulnerable people from harm in our church. This includes the screening of clergy, staff, volunteers, and office holders in our parish by using the Queensland Government's Blue Card Services. A Code of Conduct and an Anglican Church Southern Queensland's safe ministry check is provided for all people working with children.If anything is worrying you, please contact one of the following:
