CONNECT GROUPS

Connect Groups are the heartbeat of church life! Meeting in the homes of our church families they provide fellowship, support, care and an opportunity to live life connected.

Discovery

This free course explains the foundations of what it means to be a follower of Jesus. It is a simple, positive and powerful course for anyone new to Cathedral of Praise.

Praise Kids

PraiseKids is the Sunday morning Children’s Ministry of the Cathedral of Praise. We know that Jesus grew mentally, physically, spiritually and socially (Luke 2:52) which is our desire for each child. Using the Orange program, which is a Christ-centred, Bible-based program teaching the major stories of the Bible, we aim to partner with parents to teach God’s truth to our children (Psalm 78:4) in a creative, fun and safe environment.

We provide age appropriate teaching for
Crèche – 1 (walking) to 3 yrs
Building Blocks – 3 (toilet trained) to 5 yrs
Adventure Kids – Grades 1 to 3
Shakers - Grades 4 to 7

Adventure Kids and Shakers combine for praise, worship and teaching, they then separate to discuss the lesson and engage with their peers.

Serving in the House

At the Cathedral of Praise we love to serve! God designed us not just to take from life but to add to it. Therefore, along with all our vibrant departments, there are many opportunities to make a difference. We have talented and creative Worship, production and media teams. Our Sunday services are full of opportunities to be involved, from making sure communion is ready for the morning service to being a barista at the Café. We also love to bless others on a practical level, whether it be vacuuming the auditorium or cooking a meal. Then there is always the occasion to be part of our annual Christmas Musical, which is a highlight of every year. If you are interested in getting involved in church life contact us.
