Gathering

Info for Parents

  • UNDER THREE

    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.

  • Our Preschoolers aged 3-5 have a team of leaders keen to meet them and help them experience God’s presence at Gathering this year.
