Cupar Wide Youth Group
Cupar Baptist and Young People
Cupar Baptist Church has a concern for the care and welfare of the children and young people in its midst. It offers a number of organisations and meetings designed especially for them and these are outlined below. These organisations also offer opportunities for adults to give service as leaders.
Créche
- Créche facilities during Sunday morning services
For children aged 0-4 years and staffed by volunteers. If requested, babies can be looked after from 10:25am. Otherwise, young children leave the service at the same time as Junior Church
Junior Church
- For P1-P7 pupils, meeting during school term time.
- Children join with the whole congregation at 10:30am and leave for their own teaching and pastoral group time before the sermon.
Junior Church is led by Caroline Rochford and
staffed by volunteers who are on a rota for 2-4
weeks at a time. This approach to staffing Junior Church is deliberate
and is designed to encourage the children to feel an integral part of
the church. UGC provides teaching appropriate to this age group. Young people
attending UGC are encouraged to be involved in organising and
planning the meetings.
Children leaving
Junior CE at P7 are invited to join UGC.
Once children are attending Secondary School they remain in the Church
for the sermon but join Junior Church children for the pastoral group
time. Teaching specific to this age group is provided at UGC.

Working with Young
People
Following Scottish Executive guidelines and recommendations for all youth organisations in Scotland, Cupar Baptist Church has adopted a policy regarding the recruitment and selection of adults acting as leaders in its children and young people’s meetings.
All volunteers/applicants for youth and children’s work, in or on behalf of the church, will be appointed by the Executive of Cupar Baptist Church after undergoing a Disclosure Check with CRBS.
