Children’s work is a vibrant ministry at Cornerstone Newcastle; teaching our kids to know Jesus and make Him known to others is an essential part of our mission.

Once your little ones can walk, Cornerstone Kids children’s workers will be delighted to serve them as you join the main service. Cornerstone Kids serve children aged up to 10 years old, after which they may join Cornerstone's youth ministry, Fusion. Each Sunday, Cornerstone children's workers lead the youngest members of our congregation in worship, bible stories and activities to help them engage meaningfully with God and being exploring their faith.

Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of children is a top priority for Cornerstone Newcastle; all our children’s workers complete a DBS check along with annual child protection training.

Beginning a degree while finding a church in a new city can be daunting. Cornerstone Newcastle’s Student Ministry connects students with the wider church while recognising the unique challenges that come with studying.

Our Student Ministry encourages discipleship with student-specific initiatives, but also by ensuring our other ministries are student friendly – such as protected time on church retreat to study and revise. We also support and encourage students in their campus ministries and evangelism, especially through Gospel Communities.

At the beginning of the academic year, Student Ministry prepare a lunch for students after the Sunday meeting - this gives students looking for a church in Newcastle space to ask questions and get to know us.

Keep an eye on EVENTS as we look at creative ways to connect with the Students through social events outdoors.
