Volunteering for Children
Both our Children and Youth teams are run by our Ministers, but made up entirely of incredible volunteers. If you have a heart for teaching and fun and a love of children, please get in touch with Pete Cooke, who is currently steeping up as our Sunday Children's lead. If you're looking for something little more permanent, please take a look at our Children's Minister vacancy. We'd love to hear from you!

Collective Worship
Combe Down Primary School
On Wednesday afternoons, we take an "Open the Book" team into school to lead Collective Worship which involves telling a bible story in an interactive way. We also support the provision of themed prayer spaces for the children and support their religious education programme. The school celebrates at the end of term with Collective Worship services at HTCD church. If you would like to train to join our "Open the Book" team, most of whom act in the stories we teach, do email Claire Morrish.
