We understand your concerns as parents. When they’re babies, you feel in control and that you can protect them, but you dread the time when they have to start school. You don’t know what they will be exposed to or what will happen, but you can’t very well keep them locked up indoors. You desperately want to do your best as a parent but feel that some things are just out of your control.
But we’re here to help you whether you have little ones and/or teens.
Kids Zone:
From birth to 13 years old, we are ready to teach your children to recognise the perils of the outside world and the difference between right and wrong.
Songs, stories, movies and other activities will teach your children in a fun way so that they will come away feeling confident and wanting to do their best both at home and in school.
Victory Youth Group (VYG):
This is for 14-year-olds upwards, where many have found help and encouragement. Young people are taught how to excel in their studies without falling victim to peer pressure. They are taught how to get over the problems of their past and to take a stand for their lives to be better than they had ever dreamed.
Activities include singing, dancing, drama and sports competitions, fun days out, twice weekly meetings and drop-in counselling.
The principles taught in the VYG meetings are more than just words; they are lived out by the leaders and demonstrated in the activities they are challenged to do. When many teens have no structure or role model to follow, they can have that need fulfilled through the VYG.
For parents:
But don’t think that we want you to stand by and watch us take over. We have help for parents too, showing you what you can do both to become better parents and to protect and help your children so they can be the best they can be. One meeting you might find useful is the monthly Happy Parenting meeting where you are free to ask questions and get advice. Call 020 7686 6000 for more information.
You don’t ever have to feel that you’re alone in bringing up your children. Whether you have a partner to support you or not, we are here to help you.
Bring your children today to the UCKG, find out when the activities and meetings for their age groups are held. Meet the teachers and group leaders, and most importantly, begin getting the help you need to be the best parent ever.
For teens and young adults, you’re welcome to join in the VYG activities every Thursday at 6.30pm, and Sunday afternoons at 1.30pm in all UCKG main branches. Why waste another day?
