Welcome to St Bs Kids and Families! Whether you are a long standing church family, have been away from church for a while or have never set foot in a church before, we would love to have the privilege of meeting your children! Our hope is that all St Barnabas children will come to know God’s love and purposes for them and have a place to belong in a caring community
