CHILDREN ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!

The church always has a children’s table set up with art/craft activities as well as a cry room and change table facility. There is a kid’s story time at the 8.30am Sunday service and everyone is encouraged to receive either communion or a blessing. An interactive service for children takes place on Christmas Eve.

safeguarding

The Parish of Toowoomba St James, including St Anne’s Highfields, maintains a Child Protection Risk Management Plan that helps to protect children and other vulnerable people from harm in our church. This includes the screening of the ministry team, volunteer staff and Parish office holders through the Queensland Government's Blue Card Services. 

All people who work with children must follow a Code of Conduct, and undergo a safe ministry check. Ministries are conducted in accordance with the Anglican Church's policies on child protection and safe ministry.
