School-based workshops and church visits.
Christ Church offers school-based workshops or church visits. Please contact us for more information about arranging either of these. Workshops and visits can be adapted to meet your syllabus needs.
Church Visit
For an in-person visit, we would discuss your needs before the visit. We tend to welcome the children and staff with refreshments, then give a short explanation of the church building and staff.
The children will then get to take part in activities that will help them to learn about what happens at the church, not only on Sunday’s but throughout the week. Activities can include:
Photo picture hunt
In this building quiz
Stained glass window craft
Worship
Church services
School-based workshops
Our school-based workshops work alongside Understanding Christianity and the Contextualise and Evaluate sections of Living Difference IV (The agreed syllabus for Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton). The workshops are engaging and interactive, allowing the children to explore what Christians believe about the different concepts.
