Bob and Bernadette Staiano are the team leaders of Childrens Church. They have three grown up children of their own and have a real passion to see children reach their full potential. The vision is to train and equip children to walk in God's ways and show them how much they are loved by Him. They want to encourage each child to have a relationship with their heavenly Father and to know the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit.

Children aged 5-11 years meet on a Sunday morning for their own church. They have their own worship band and dance group. The teaching is in small groups and some of the older children have been trained to lead their own groups. The School of Leaders trains those children with potential and takes place weekly, as do worship band and dance group practices.

bq. &quot;Train up a child in the ways he should go when he is old he will not depart from it&quot; Proverbs 22 vs 6.

&quot;My church is called Ashford Christian Fellowship! This is the church I grew up in.

I love this church because it is what some people in our youth call an up-to-date church! Our band is awesome because we have electric guitars, microphones and drums.

We also have many missionaries all over the world. Well, maybe not all over the world but in some big countries! Some of these countries are China, India, Indonesia and many more.

This church is not just a church or a building with people in it, it is my family and friends of the people that I love and trust. If I could I would stay in this church forever.&quot;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
