If you can answer ‘yes!’ to most of these questions, we’d love you to complete this form to apply for the training day.
Is your Vicar (or church leader) 100% behind launching a Bubble Church service?
Will Bubble Church be a priority for your church as a whole and with its own dedicated Sunday service time?
Would you be able to run a Bubble Church service at least monthly but ideally weekly or fortnightly?
Do you have a way of projecting/playing videos on a screen, with sound (an AV system)?
At Bubble Church families sit on bubbles on the floor. Does your building have space to do this?
Does the space provide an inviting environment with amenities like food and drink and toilets?
Do you have a team of at least 4–5 volunteers in mind for your Bubble Church team?
Is your current congregation ready to welcome new people and make space for them to belong?
Essential to running Bubble Church is joining a learning community with other Bubble Churches in your area, meeting every six months in person and virtually in between. Please confirm your commitment to this.

Frequently asked questions…
What is Bubble Church?
Bubble Church is a Sunday church service especially for babies, toddlers, and young families. It includes action songs, a Bible story, puppets and a simple activity.
When does it happen?
You can run Bubble Church weekly, fortnightly or monthly at your church.
Who is it for?
Bubble Church is for families to do together, everyone joins in! It is best suited to children under seven years old.
How long is it?
Bubble Church lasts around 30 minutes.
Is it a service or an event?
Bubble Church is a service where we worship, learn about Jesus and develop our Christian faith. It’s not a way into church - it is church!
Does it require a lot of volunteers?
Bubble Church requires a small volunteer team. Once you are set up, we encourage established Bubble Church families to serve as part of the team.
Is there support to help me?
Yes! We have a team who will be there to help you every step of the way, from getting setup, to furthering your Bubble Church ministry. You will also become part of one of our regional learning communities where you will meet with and grow alongside other Bubble Church leaders.
Do I need to be a certain churchmanship?
No, Bubble Church works across different church traditions.
What if we have no children at our church?
We have seen new church congregations grow from nothing! Bubble Church is great at bringing in new children and families.
Is there a financial cost?
The Bubble Church resources, training and hands-on support is completely free. The only cost to running Bubble Church is the physical kit (puppets, bubble mats etc.) which comes to about £1200. We do not want money to be a reason why anybody doesn’t run Bubble Church - please speak to us and we might be able to provide grant funding to support you.
