We love children of all ages. We have a Sunday School programs planned by our staff Sunday School coordinator for children ages 3 and up. They are assisted by adult volunteers. Children are welcome during worship and normally leave for Sunday School after the children’s story.
For children under 3, our Nursery and Toddler Room is staffed by a Coordinator and assisted by volunteers. Parents often bring their children under 3 to the Nursery/Toddler room before worship.
Volunteers with the children have had a London Police Service Police Vulnerable Sector Check.
Parents are always welcome to attend and observe any of our children’s ministries.
Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable! Our Church is air-conditioned in the summertime.
Usually, the service is an hour in length, but sometimes a little bit longer. Everyone is welcome to join in a time of refreshments and fellowship following the service in the Upper Hall. This is a wonderful way to get to know Colborne’s Church family. (Due to COVID our fellowship time has been suspended)
Upon arriving, greeters meet people at the doors and hand them a bulletin outlining the service. Hymns, prayers, choir, children’s time, a sermon, and a freewill offering are normal parts of worship. (Due to COVID bulletins are not being used and there is no community singing.)
