Parents

Parents

At New Life Family Ministries, we believe that parents are the primary nurturers of your child’s faith, and the church plays a supportive role in this endeavor. Our Parenting Ministry is designed to give you the tools and support needed to disciple your child without adding to your already busy schedule. Our programs and resources will help you put God on display in your home and allow you to create space for God-encounters in everyday life. Parenting can be tough, and we want to help you not just survive, but thrive in your God-given role.

Upcoming Events

Moms Connect

Don’t do motherhood alone. Find friends at Moms Connect! We are a community of women with children from tummy through teens. Connect through meetings, activities, mentoring, laughter and authentic friendships. Join us as we follow Jesus together. We offer two group options that gather during the fall and spring semesters. Pick the day and time that works best for you: Tuesday evenings from 6:30-8:30 PM or Thursday mornings from 9:30-11:30 AM.

Register below. It’s never too late to join. Jump in at any time! The cost is $35 per semester. Use code EARLYBIRD for $5 off. Opportunities to serve and discounted scholarships are available.

Child Dedication

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.

Parent Resources

Parent Orientation

Parent Orientation Online is a wonderful opportunity for you to learn all the ways in which New Life Family Ministries provides ministry to New Life Kids, New Life Students, New Life Parents, and New Life Care ministries.

The goal of this three-part, on-demand orientation video is to communicate our vision for these ministries, familiarize you with the curriculum we’re using, and highlight the ways in which you may wish to be involved. Click the button below to begin viewing.

Homefront Magazine

HomeFront inspires and equips parents to lead their families in faith. Each issue offers creative ideas for weaving spiritually formative moments into everyday life, practical tools for sharing God’s truth at home, and encouragement to engage communities and influence culture for Christ.

Disability & Specialized Needs

We create safe and inclusive spaces that encourage belonging, community, and worship. We have classrooms at the 11:00 am service for children and teens with special needs and disabilities.

We acknowledge that individuals need support to access and participate. We provide volunteer buddies on a case-by-case basis to walk alongside individuals throughout our church.

Spiritual Parenting

Imagine raising your children with unshakeable confidence, equipping them to love God deeply and walk in His truth. Spiritual parenting is not about controlling behavior; it’s about shaping hearts to seek God and cultivating lifelong faith. Our Spiritual Parenting Resources include a digital series featuring videos, documents and links designed to inspire, equip, and support you in your God-given role. No matter where you are on your parenting journey, these resources will help you nurture faith in your home, guiding your children and grandchildren to experience a genuine and growing relationship with Jesus.
