What can you do in the family club?

At the Family Club, you can play, do crafts, sing, and spend quality time together as a family. Through shared activities and moments, the Family Club supports children’s Christian upbringing and faith development. We are always happy to hear your ideas, so please feel free to tell the leaders what kind of activities or topics you would like to include in the guided sessions. The club also provides an opportunity for parents to catch up, share experiences, and connect with other families. Coffee, tea, and juice are available, and you are welcome to bring your own snacks if you wish.

What is a nature family club?

At the nature family club, we spend time outdoors together with families. Please bring a snack and weather-appropriate clothing.

The clubs are led by childcare workers who have earned a vocational degree in early childhood education from the church.
