Ashcroft Church caters particularly well for children with numerous groups and activities.

During every morning service there is a creche available where the very young can play with soft toys. On the third Sunday of each month the morning service is designated for 'All Age Worship'. On all other Sundays the children spend the first 10 to 15 minutes in the main service and then leave for their Sunday school classes that are split into 3 age groups.

Once every 3 months on a Sunday at 6pm there is a Circuit Youth Service at one of the churches within the circuit. Young people from all 6 churches within the circuit meet for a service of music and prayer geared to their tastes. Adults have been known to walk out!!!

'Squeals on Wheels' meets on Tuesdays from 10 to 11.30 in term time. This gives an opportunity for children aged 0-4 years to play with toys, look at books, do some craftwork and sing songs accompanied with percussion instruments. Mothers and carers are there to supervise their children whilst having a chat with their friends.
