Let the little children come to me … for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs. (Luke 18:16)
People of any age, young or old, are welcome at all our services. 
We encourage children and young people to explore their faith and grow in the love of God as they develop their own unique gifts of ministry and service.


Sunday School

Sundays 9.30am
St. Matthew's Olinda


Church starts with music and an informal talk, then children (ages 3+) move to the church hall for age-appropriate activities. They return to church for communion time with the congregation.

Children are also welcome to stay with their parents throughout the service. If needed, parents can make use of the crying room, which has an audio link so they can still hear the service.

On the first Sunday of each month, Sunday School is also held during the 11am service at St. Michael’s Kalorama.

Safety and governance
Children's safety and well-being are vitally important to us. For their safety and your peace of mind, all our church workers involved in youth and children’s ministry are trained, have current Working with Children clearance and police checks, and comply with diocesan professional standards. If you have any concerns, please contact our Vicar, Rev. Andrew Smith, the Children and Families co-ordinator on Parish Council or the Melbourne Diocese professional standards unit.
