Play Group

On Friday mornings during term time the Church Hall is transformed into a safe and fun place for children 0-4 yrs old. Activities include arts and crafts, toys and books, music, and lots of play. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Morning tea (including good coffee!) is provided. Entry is by gold coin donation.

Sunday Clubs

Every Sunday, during term time, the children gather for their own Christian education programme. Ably led by experienced teachers, this involves a bible story, crafts, dramas, and other fun activities. The programme begins after the opening song and concludes in time for Communion. Children aged 2-11 yrs old are welcome.

Breakfast Club

For older children, those in years 7-10 at school, a combined Eastbourne churches group meets regularly for breakfast and a bible study. This takes place on Sunday mornings during the 9.30am worship services.

Youth Group

Once a month, on a Friday night, 7.30pm – 9.00pm, young people in years 9 and up gather at the St Alban’s Church Hall for an evening of fun activities and a discussion on faith related issues.

Children’s Courses

At various time during the year, courses are run for the young people of the parish.
