Pathways Presbyterian Church
 

Our playgroups recognise all people as spiritual, physical, emotional and social beings.  You don't have to identify yourself as a Christian to come to playgroup, but you do need to be comfortable with language and values that recognise all people as valued and loved in the image of God, just as they are.  

​

We're not just about providing a product or service.  We're about fostering and building community and relationships that go beyond playgroup-time.  We want to see families connecting, sharing and growing together.  Too often we can feel alone or overwhelmed, particularly if we don't have strong support structures that are readily available to us.

​

In short, we're about family.  It's amazing how much richer, fuller and freer our lives are when we explore and expand our worlds together socially, spiritually, emotionally and in play!
