Young people are the heartbeat of any Church and at West Wilts Vineyard we aim to encourage them to be fully involved with all we do. We guide them to find new, creative and exciting ways to live life and love God. Children and youth are specifically catered for during our  Sunday services via Sparks, 411 and Ignition '. Here they engage in creative activities, exploration, worship, prayer and fun. There are a wide range of gifted and experienced people who help run these sessions and parents usually struggle to drag their kids away at the end of a service! A copy of our curriculum is available on the information table.

West Wilts Vineyard has a good child protection policy. A copy of this is kept on the information table and can also be read at any time. Alternatively you may want to download our policy statement here. All of our Kids workers are CRB checked.
