Church For the Family and With the Family.
"...but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord" Joshua 15:24
Simple. No fuss. Warmth. Love. Belonging. Fun. Spiritual and Emotional Connection.
If anyone needs to rock, swing, spin or lie down - feel free.
If you need to walk around or help yourself to a snack or drink anytime - please do.
If anyone can't 'understand' what's going on due to a diagnosis, disability or difference, but are happy to be with us - we welcome you.
We are church coming together in a new way, to compliment and strengthen the family of God in Jersey.
Anyone from any church background (or none) is welcome.
Children, youth, and adults are all together and all participate and contribute, guided by our shared statement of faith and love for God.
It's reverent, relaxed, and relational.
On a Saturday morning / Sunday afternoon...
Would you like to help establish the new work or find out more about it?
We would love to connect with you!
Come with your children, parents, relatives and friends of all ages and stay together for a time of fellowship that is:
- Relaxed within Structure
- Flexible within Order
- Fun within Reverence
- Sensory Healthy
1 Corinthians 14:26
"When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up."
How does it work?
Every family unit comes with 5 minutes of something to share - a song, a prayer, a teaching, a scripture verse to learn, a dance, a thought, a prophecy, a praise point. From the youngest to the oldest - all are encouraged to participate. Children, young people, young adults and older adults are all encouraged to flow in the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Who is it for?
It's for families who want to enjoy a time of spiritual connection together; for parents who want to share in growth of their child or young person; for families who want support to raise up their household in faith.
What happens?
We are friendly and approachable, accepting and non-judgemental. We don't expect you to be anything that you're not. We don't expect 'perfectly behaved children'. We come as we are and allow God to change us all in to His likeness over time. We have an hour or so together to simply be and grow in Christlikeness and connection together.
Who are we? The Jacksons.
Hi! I'm Anne Laure with my husband Ivan, with our wonderful, fun, and faithful 3 boys, have loved our parenting journey all the while keeping our sons in church with us to share the most precious time of the week together. The pressure to send them out though was not helpful for us. They have now flown the nest and so we look to facilitate and support other families and enjoy an intergenerational time to encourage believers in this most privileged and precious position to connect spiritually.
- the boys always came to church willingly with us
- the boys all gave their life to Christ at a young age
- the boys never rebelled or fought against us
- we think this should be normal
For Parents of Young Children
Build a foundation of faith and connection from the very beginning
- Do you want to build a strong foundation of faith together now—ready for the years ahead?
- Would you love to develop ways to weave prayer, worship, and God’s Word naturally into your family’s daily rhythm while they are still young?
- Did have a good example of biblical parenting and, even if not, dream of leading your family well?
For Parents of Teenagers
Stay close and Christ-centred through changing years
- Do you currently feel expendable, a taxi service, and redundant to the spiritual growth of your young person?
- Would you love to feel confident talking about faith in real, everyday ways that connect with where your teens are at?
- Do you want to model a faith that’s strong, steady, and authentic—even when life gets messy?
- Do you have teenagers and want to keep that close, open-hearted connection while helping them walk with Jesus through these changing years?
For Grandparents and Extended Family
Share faith across generations
- Would you love to grow together in faith as a family?
- Do you want to see your children and grandchildren develop their own personal relationship with Jesus?
- Do you long to pass on a legacy of faith, love, and prayer that continues through the generations?
Would you like to feel more confident guiding your children spiritually, even when life feels busy or uncertain?
Carve out this time in your week together and you'll be glad you did!
If any of these questions stir something in you, you’re warmly invited to join us.
Come as you are—bring your stories, your children, and your hope—and discover how good it feels to grow together in Christ.
When?
