Join us on a Wednesday morning for our parent and toddler group 10 am - 12 noon. A time for the little ones to play, do some craft and sing some songs. We are currently limited on numbers so it is essential to book via Eventbrite. 

Our toddlers group meets on a Wednesday during school term time. This is a time during the week when parents and their toddlers and babies from all around the local area can come together and share in community. In line with Covid 19 guidelines each week we ask our parents to prebook via Eventbrite. You will find a link to the weekly bookings via our Toddler Group Facebook Page which you can open HERE. 

Mums, Dads, Grandparents & carers are all welcome and can have tea, coffee and biscuits while their little ones play in a safe environment. Each week we have free play and some craft or cooking activities for the children and adults to take part in. We finish with fruit time and an opportunity to join in with actions songs and nursery rhymes. We are run by a committed team of lovely volunteers so do come along and join us and receive a friendly welcome. 

Meeting time

Wednesdays: 10:00am - 12:00 noon

Attached is a link to our Alpha feature article published in January 2021 Yapton News. Nicki and Charlie share their stories of doing Alpha. Definitely worth a read!

Testimony from a past Alpha attendee: 

"Is there more to life?? Am I as in control of my own future as I think? Perhaps not.... Doing this Alpha course 14 years ago completely changed my life for the better in every single respect. You have nothing to lose by doing this course from the comfort of your own home, but everything to gain. Including freedom and eternal life.... What is life all about? Come and find out"

Due to Covid 19 were unable to run Holiday Club in 2020. However, we look forward to welcoming you back in 2021. We are always looking for ways to support and bless people in the local community. We recently enjoyed joint hosting with the Paige's some free Drive in movie nights screening Despicable Me and Elf. These were great community events after a difficult year for many people. From running Youth Group, Men's Breakfast's, Alpha Courses, Parent and Toddler groups to our free Holiday Club on the village green. We look to share the love of God with everyone we meet.

Several areas that we have supported in Yapton have been the funding for the hard football and basketball pitch, the play ground and the Skate Park. Blessing the village and loving the people is really at the heart of Yapton Free Church.

We are very thankful to the local community, church family, Trusts and Foundations who have contributed to seeing the completion of the extension to the Old Church Building kitchen and toilets. The building, which is Grade II listed dating back to 1861, was in need of modernisation to upgrade the kitchen facilities and refurbish the existing toilet block to provide a fully accessible WC for disabled users.
