This church exists to worship God and nurture children’s faith through God’s word. Psalm 78:4-6 reminds us of the duty we have to teach children God’s word. In Deuteronomy 6:6-9, a description is given on how we ought to teach children God’s word. Children’s church therefore endeavours to nurture children’s faith through various activities.
There are two full time Children’s workers who run and plan for the day to day activities of the children’s church. There are four age-group coordinators hired on a temporally basis to coordinate the activities in the different age groups. God has graciously raised and established a team of 80 committed teachers and child minders who help with children each Sunday and other children events. A good number of parents worship in the children’s church and they offer great support and encouragement as we work with the great number of children each Sunday.
All Saints’ Cathedral, Kampala- children’s church is a vibrant, fast growing church, consisting of approximately 1800 children, who attend Sunday services.
