Children » Children's Ministry

We have an expansive set of children’s programs on Sunday morning to complement the services.

9 am 

At our 9am family service, we have Church School for kids in Grade 1 and under—older children are encouraged to worship with their families. The 9 am service is in contemporary language and is accessible for teens and kids alike.

11 am 

During the 11am service, there’s Church School for Grades 5 and under. Our curriculum, God’s Busy Hands, has been specifically designed for St Clement’s and combines elements of drama, art, cooking and, of course, imagination. It is a hands-on, interactive program that relies a lot on the children’s feedback. The curriculum works with the theory that children need stimulating activities in order to learn about and be meaningfully engaged with their faith.

Between Services

Between the 9 and 11am services (from 10:10 to 10:50, during the 40-Minute Forums), we offer a program for kids of all ages. This is like a one-room schoolhouse where children of all ages get to interact, play and model Christian behaviour for each other. The content of this program varies, from exploring outside in nature, to playing tag, creating crafts, and any number of community- building exercises.

Nursery

We also have our very own St Clement’s Nursery run by a professional childcare worker, Kay Evangelista.   The nursery provides care for children who are too young for Church School and quite frequently has adorable babies and toddling toddlers.

Protecting our Most Vulnerable

All staff and volunteers working with kids and youth are police screened and trained, according to the Responsible Ministry policy of the Diocese of Toronto.
