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.

NewLifeKids Worship

New Life Kids Worship Vol 1” is the first EP released from New Life Kids Worship. New Life Kids Worship is an expression of New Life Worship in their mission to teach the youngest of hearts the beauty of worshipping in spirit and in truth by encountering the presence of God and growing in formation through His Word. Singing songs of the house written by Jon Egan and New Life Worship, the New Life Kids Choir leads these familiar melodies with passion and purity. The EP is an invitation to reflect on the promises of God and His goodness towards His children, now and forevermore.

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.
