Children
It was always the intention for St Nicholas church to be a dual-purpose building here in Orpington, where the local community could meet during the week to enjoy various activities.
Sunday Mornings
During the 10.30am service we have Kids Club for children aged 3-10 years. ‘Ignite’ for young people in school Year 6 and above. These groups start in church and then go for their own age-appropriate sessions, which include Bible story and discussion, worship, prayer and craft activities.
Messy Church
From 2024 Messy Church will be taking place on the 3rd Sunday in the month during term time, from 3.30pm to 5.00pm. Messy Church is for all the family. We start with refreshments, followed by a short worship session, and then some art and craft activities. Everyone is welcome!
