In the lead-up to Easter and mirroring the wider church series, Kids Zone will learn more about the person of Jesus, what his life on earth was like, his teachings and how he calls us to live. This will build on the Family of God series in terms of relational skills and grow a love for Jesus and his words. You can watch the Kids Zone teaching videos on our Youtube Channel below.

Kids Zone Junior is moving through their ‘God Loves Me’ series and the beginning their ‘I Can Love Jesus’ series. They will read core Bible stories and learn Foundation truths about their identity and that they can have a relationship with Jesus today!

Please pray with us:

• That children would gain an understanding of living for God’s Kingdom

• That children would learn practical ways to relate well to others

• That children would grow in their love for Jesus and his words

• That children and leaders would grow in their discipleship to Jesus  

• That kids would grow foundational understanding of their identity in God

Kids Zone continues through the series ‘Timeless: Great Prayers of the Old Testament. On November 23rd and 30th we dive into the Christmas series.

Kids Zone Junior spends the first two weeks of November finishing the God Loves Me series looking at the stories of Jesus Walks on Water and Jesus teaches on a mountain. The last three weeks is a Christmas series focussing on An Angel visits Mary, Baby Jesus is Born and Shepherds Visit.

Kids Zone has a unique month over October. We begin with a school holiday weekend, where some Locations have an All In service, and some have a holiday style programme.
October 12th is Together! This will be a super fun Sunday when we can do things that we can’t when we meet in smaller Locations. We have a guest speaker and HEAPS of fun planned - with live worship too.
We then begin a series called ‘Timeless: Great Prayers of the Old Testament’. This is the same series as our adult services. Locations will be looking through five Old Testament prayers (David, Hannah, Hezekiah, Habakkuk and Jehoshaphat). These will not be in the same order at every Location, and Kids Zone will line up with the adult service at your Location. A wonderful opportunity to learn together as a family and have a conversation on the way home in the car or around the dinner table.

Kids Zone Junior will join with the rest of Kids Zone for Together. The programme is suitable for a wide range of ages and there will be leaders looking out for our younger children and helping them have a super fun and fruitful time.
On the 19th of Oct we take a look at the Fruit of the Spirit, and finish the month starting a God Loves Me, three week series.

Kids Zone Continues through the Parables series. The 7th of September is Father’s Day and we take a look at the parable of the Prodigal Son. On the 14th and 21st we look at the parables of the Unmerciful Servant and the Good Samaritan.

Kids Zone Junior also begins the month with a Father’s Day focus on the Prodigal Son. Then finishes the ‘I Can Love Others’ mini series looking at the stories of The Hole In The Roof and The First Church.

September ends with the first week of school holidays when we take a break from our regular Kids Zone programme.

Parents - are you looking for things to do in the school holidays?

Christian kids camps are a fabulous option!

Kids build incredible friendships, enjoy loads of fun and have the opportunity to grow closer to Jesus through teaching and times of worship and prayer.

Two of the camps we are familiar with are El Rancho in Waikanae and SUNZ (Scripture Union New Zealand)

Dakoda Raymond Earnest Schleif

It is with much sadness that we share the passing of Kody Ray.

The Schleif family have been part of The Street Church for over 20 years. During the past decade, they have been unable to regularly attend Sunday services due to Kody's medical needs, but Ange has a deep connection with her Mosaic group and many, many families from across The Street Locations will have a connection with the family in some capacity.

Kody's fighting spirit and love for his family, which shined through till the end, will be sorely missed.

A funeral for Kody will be held from 11am at 9 Hania St on Thursday the 10th of April.

Anyone is welcome to join Ange, Shawn, Brooklyn, Paxton and their wider family and friends for this celebration of Kody's life and to say goodbye.

Do you have a child preparing for or is a junior in primary school this year?

We are currently piloting a new course, written specifically for families heading into the school years.

The transition periods in family life have a profound impact on discipleship and this course is designed to guide you through some of what you can expect, so you can prepare well. The course is video based and can be completed at home at a time that suits your rhythm.

We kick back off in Kids Zone on the 26th of Jan 2025.

Kids Zone begins the year with the same series as the adult services. It is called Rhythms of Grace. Jesus anchored his life with practices that kept him connected to the Father and focused on the mission for which he came. We will dive into the practices of Silence & Solitude, Hospitality, Sabbath and finishing the last week of February with Generosity.

Kids Zone Junior learns from the following Bible stories under the topics God Loves Me and God Created Me. Jesus is Coming, Jesus Calms the Storm, Food from Heaven, Samson and Noahs Ark. Kids Zone Junior uses the Beginner’s Bible.
