Kids

Joining families in discipling kids to know who God is and how they can be a part of His big story. 

Our New Life Church Kids Ministry believes that the Holy Spirit is God’s primary teacher in understanding who God is and how to live the Christian life. We provide an environment for children to be discipled as they actively engage in God’s redemptive story. Each week kids have the opportunity to discover and experience God’s presence through creative, God-centered storytelling as well as participate in various forms of worship response. We take time to practice hearing God’s voice, prayer and blessing. We seek to inspire families and their kids to follow Jesus and know the transforming power of the Holy Spirit for a lifetime faith.

Child Dedications

We believe child dedications are the declaration of you, as parents, to raise your child to know and understand God and a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. Child dedications can occur at any time in a child’s life (not just as infants) because it is your vow to God, as opposed to the decision of your child. In our one-hour Child Dedication class, we walk through the Bible verses and passages that will train our parents to understand their God-given roles, teach them how to bless their children, and prepare them for the day of dedication itself.

If you are interested in the child dedication class and dedicating your child, register below!

Upcoming Child Dedication Date: December 1 at 9:00 or 11:00 a.m.

The EP is an invitation to reflect on the promises of God and His goodness towards His children, now and forevermore.

NURSERY (BIRTH-2 YRS)

The Nursery at New Life Church exists to inspire, equip and support you as you begin your role as the primary spiritual nurturer of your child. We are committed to providing a safe environment for your child to experience God’s love and care through our staff and volunteers. Our heart is to disciple your nursery child to discover the joy of who God is. Through his or her senses we invite your child to experience God’s presence through His Word, through story, worship, prayer, blessing and intentional, developmental activities.  

PRE-K/K (3 YRS-KINDER)

PreK/K exists at New Life Church to empower you as you spiritually nurture your child throughout this next stage of growth and development. During your child’s time in PreK/K, he or she will journey through the Big God Story with creative storytelling and engaging worship. We seek to disciple your child by inspiring him or her, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to discover and experience God by practicing hearing His voice and responding in worship to who He is. 

ELEMENTARY (1ST-5TH GRADE)

Every week elementary students from 1st– 5th grade, are welcomed into a fun, safe and spiritually engaging environment.

SPECIALIZED NEEDS

New Life Kids provides a safe and loving environment for children of all ages and developmental spectrums. We seek to create an atmosphere that encourages regulation, connection, conversation and understanding. Our team of trained volunteers enjoys working with ALL children regardless of their unique abilities and challenges. When possible, we utilize a one-to-one buddy system and, we also have two sensory rooms: one room provides a calming, less stimulating environment and one room provides additional space to get the “wiggles” out.

We also offer a program for adults with specialized needs that meets during our 11am service.
