Children 0-3

For mums and dads with babies and toddlers, we have a Parent Lounge which is located just outside of the main auditorium.

This is a quiet space for you to feed and settle your precious ones and has a live video feed, so you don’t miss a moment of the Gathering. A nappy changing station is available for your use in the accessible toilet, just down the hallway.

When sitting in the auditorium, please sit at the end of a row, or near the doors, so you can exit easily as needed.

And, if you need to bring a pram with you, the Parent Lounge is the place you can park it.

Absolutely! There is an option to let us know when you are registering your child. One of our team will then contact you. We want you and your family to have the best experience at Gathering!

Yes! We have a special Junior Kids Gathering designed just for preschoolers aged 3–5. It’s a safe, fun, and faith-filled environment where our team of dedicated leaders will care for your child while helping them experience God’s presence in a way that’s just right for their age.

The program runs alongside all main Gathering sessions, with drop-off 30 minutes before each session and pick-up within 15 minutes of the session ending. Morning tea and afternoon tea are provided, but parents will need to pack a labelled lunch, water bottle, and spare clothes.

If your child is toilet training or requires assistance, you may be contacted during the day to support them. We can't wait to welcome your little one!

Yes! Our Primary Kids Gathering is designed for children in Kindergarten to Year 6. It's a full and fun program that runs during all main Gathering sessions, led by a passionate team of leaders who are ready to create a safe, engaging, and faith-filled experience.

Drop-off opens 30 minutes before each session, and pick-up is within 15 minutes after each session ends. We'll provide morning tea and afternoon tea, but parents will need to pack a labelled lunch, water bottle, and any extra snacks their child may need.

Kids will stay in the program throughout the day, including the final Saturday session, so there’s no need to collect them early. We’re believing for powerful moments in God’s presence and lots of fun along the way!
