Children's Ministry

A Safe and Happy Place for Children

At The United Church, Hyde, we love welcoming children and families.
We believe every child is precious to God and deserves a place where they can learn, grow, make friends and have fun.

Our children’s activities aim to create a safe, friendly and encouraging environment where children can simply be themselves.
