About Us
Welcome to C3 HED Kids!
Our vision for C3 HED Kids is that kids would love Jesus, make friends and be kind.
Our heart is to encourage and lead kids into a meaningful relationship with God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. We aim to see kids make great friendships in church; in an environment of fun that builds both faith and friendship. We believe that showing love to others, begins with showing great, brave kindness, and in doing so, kids will discover their God-given voice and purpose!
Current Program
Fruitalicious
In this term we are focusing on The Fruits of the Spirit. God gave us a great helper when He gave us the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit helps us by reminding us of how we should live as we follow Jesus. One way He does this is by helping us to grow good fruits in our lives that make us more like Jesus.
Fruits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control! In this program, we are believing kids will learn about each fruit of the Spirit and choose to put them into practice, with the help of the Holy Spirit, shining God’s love to all.

Child Safety
Our Promise
C3 HED is committed to providing a child-safe and child-friendly environment for all who attend our services and mid-week meetings. We aim to ensure that children, families, volunteers and staff have a safe and fun place to engage in Godly and meaningful relationships, receive and provide ministry and grow in their walk with Jesus. The C3 HED Child Safe framework has been set in place to safeguard under 18’s in attendance, as well as those who provide leadership and those who serve on teams.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kids services do you offer?
Our kids services are for kids in bubs through to Year 6.
Bubs (9 months – 2 years)
Preschool (3 – 5 years)
Primary (5 – 12 years)
What will my child be learning?
We utilise the incredible resources from C3 SYD, our founding C3 church based in Sydney, NSW. They have created a four-year program for primary and two-year program for preschool, designed to introduce your child to the persons of God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The programs are designed so that by the end of your child’s time in kids church, they will have been given a general understanding of the whole bible.
Can my kids stay together in the same age group in kids church?
While we understand the wish to keep your kids together, we have found that every child copes a lot better and has significantly more fun when they are in their appropriate age group. We have found that it is more likely for your child to experience anxiety or distress if they are in a program that is outside of their age bracket, even with their sibling by their side. We are committed to making sure everybody is safe and happy in our service and will devote team to settling your child, should they be anxious.
We hold it in high priority to let you know if your child isn’t settling after 15 minutes or if they have any other upsets in our program. We also comply to strict codes involving the ratio of team to kids, which is another big reason why we don’t allow kids into a program that isn’t for their age.
What should my child bring to kids church?
We ask kids to bring a water bottle that is clearly labelled with the child’s name, however water is available as needed. Parents will also be communicated to prior to any special services and events we have throughout the year. To encourage good behaviour and engagement, we do not allow kids to bring or use devices during service times.
How does your Check in & Check out process work?
When you arrive, our friendly C3 HED Kids team will be available to assist you in checking in your child. You will be asked to fill out a visitor form that will provide us with the appropriate information. Through our system, we then print a name tag with a pick-up code for your child to wear and a matching pick-up code for you, which you must present on pick-up.
What are your procedures for keeping kids safe and accounted for?
The C3 Child Safe framework has been set in place to safeguard under 18’s in attendance, as well as those who provide leadership and those who serve on teams.
Team members are required to hold a valid and cleared Working With Children’s Check (WWCC) obtained through the WA Department of Communities. Team members must also complete further child safe training and comply with our team code of conduct, signed prior to joining the team.
For the safety of both the leader and child, a minimum of two leaders are present with a child or group of children. The below ratios are in accordance with our C3 HED Kids Policy and government regulations.
1 – 2 years (bubs) 1:4
2 – 3 years (bubs) 1:5
3 – 5 years (preschool) 1:10
5 – 12 years (primary) 1:10
What is your policy regarding photography and media?
Only C3 HED assigned photographers and C3 HED Church staff are allowed to photograph children in kids services. These images may be used on official C3 HED social media platforms only. If you would prefer that your child not be photographed, please advise the C3 HED Kids check-in team when you arrive to check in your child.
