From the day they are born children are loved and cherished members of God’s family, and we want them and all their families to feel at home in Liberton Kirk.
Sunday Mornings
Children are very welcome at any of our services. There is a welcome leaflet (look for the big “Hello!”) which explains where things are in the church which you might need.
Under 3s – During the 11am Sunday service there is a crèche in the halls for under-threes, our volunteers are happy to look after your children if you would like to head back into the service. We also have a kids area set up in the church if you would rather stay in the service with a quiet breakout space in the vestry if you need it, the service streamed to a screen in the vestry so you won’t have to miss anything.
For our older kids (age 4 – P7) We have SUNDAY CLUB – the kids start in the church where they can sit either with their families or are welcome to sit with the Sunday Club leaders. Then after the all age talk we head across to the halls with our leaders where we run our programme, with teaching , crafts, activities, and a memory verse.

Families with Pre-schoolers
Liberton Kirk Toddlers
We meet on Wednesdays 10am to 11.30am during term time. There are a large selection of toys available, snack for both the adults (tea, coffee, and chocolate biscuits) and for the children (fruit, Pombears, Mini Cheddars, and water). We offer simple craft at 11ish then we gather together to sing some songs and nursery rhymes to finish.
We cater for new borns to roughly 3/4 years old. We find that by this age they are outgrowing the toys and format.
It costs £2 per family, per week.
We do have a waiting list, so please contact Laura to book a place.
The fun doesn’t have to stop there, Why not visit the cafe for lunch, available from 12pm to 1.30pm. For more info and an idea of what’s on offer go to the Kirkgate Cafe’s page.
Pram Praise
This is a short time of worship specially for the under-threes, although their carers are welcome too and seem to enjoy it! There are action songs, a story, something to make and take home, prayers to join in, and shakers to make a noise in the last songs. Don’t miss it! Dates on noticeboards or flyers. There is a break in the summer for the school holidays.
- Monthly on Wednesday in the Small Hall, 11am to 11.20am
Laura is available to chat about any of these groups or other family related questions, her details are on the People page.
