Youth & Kids

At Gateway Community Church, we embrace the importance of our children's role within God's covenant family. Through dedicated volunteers with proper screenings, we offer dynamic youth programs. These programs not only prioritise child safety but also foster age-appropriate expressions of faith and acts of service.

Our children and youth ministries are driven by passionate volunteers from our church community, all of whom have undergone thorough screenings. We are committed to creating an environment that reflects the principles of ChildSafe and upholds a culture of safety. Our ultimate aim is to provide a space where children and young people can thrive spiritually, growing in their faith and engaging in meaningful service opportunities. We encourage you to have a look at our code of conduct document.

Little Kids

Who: For Toddlers - Pre-Kindy

When: All children remain in the service until just prior to the Scripture reading (we want the parents back for that!) and runs for the remainder of the church service, most weeks during the school term.

What: A volunteer-run space to provide toddlers and pre kindy children with an environment to hear about the God who loves them, engage in play and sing songs with the opportunity for parents of not  -too- sure children to accompany their child and be involved in helping their children to engage with the activities.

Where: The Little Kids room is located through the door on the left side of the foyer as you enter the Gateway building.


Kids Church

Who: For children in Kindy – Year 3

When: every Sunday morning throughout the school term.

What: Children will participate in a lesson based on part of the bible, work on learning or memorising bible verses, and participate in various crafts and activities to reinforce a biblical topic.

Where: The Kids Church room is located at the back of the building near the undercover area. It is accessed by passing through the main hall’s double doors, and out through the roller door. You can expect our treasured volunteers to lead the way for parents and children to sign in when it is time.


Gaters Kids Club

Who: For children in Years 3 – Year 6 (upper primary school)

When: Currently, Gaters runs once every month on a friday during the school term. This means we will usually only meet two or three times a term

What: At Gaters we play fun games together, sometimes we sing, we hear a story from the bible, and a small talk is given before we break off into small groups. In our groups we will seek to understand the bible and how it applies to our lives with questions and discussion. children have an opportunity to share about their own lives, and to pray for each other too.

Where: Gaters meets at the main hall at Gateway Community Church, and sign-in and sign-out is located in the foyer as you enter the building.

Gateway Youth (year 7 – year 12)

Who: For high-school aged youth: Year 7 – Year 12

When: Currently, Gateway Youth is on from 6:30 – 8:30, every second Friday during the school term.

What: at Gateway Youth, we want youth to build meaningful relationships with their peers and leaders as they navigate the treacherous waters of adolescence, learning to trust Jesus and walk with Him as they
mature into adulthood. We do this by building trust and community through games and fun activities together, Bible talks aimed to challenge them and impact their hearts with beauty of the gospel, Bible studies that teach them the tools to read and understand for themselves, and discussions that are designed to help us think critically about how God's word impacts our lives, and times of sharing about life in smaller groups where there is opportunity for prayer. This is a great place for youth to invite their friends to experience Christian community and learn about Jesus.

We have a large, combined camp with other CRCA youth groups once a year, and participate in other CRCA combined youth events, as well as
occasional events run by the Perth Youth Gospel Partnership.

Where: Unless otherwise stated, our regular Youth nights happen at the Church building in the main hall and Cafe.
