Why Children’s Ministries?
Children are a heritage from
the Lord. To help them grow in Jesus, K.I.D.S. (Kids in Divine Service)
Church happens every Sunday
during our morning service for all kids 5-12. For the younger ones, our nursery is open during each service. During our mid-week services there are Nursery and Preschool age groups for children
under age 5, and classes for children ages 5-12. Each class
values children as part of the church family
in teaching the Word of God and in providing an
expression of worship for spiritual growth. Children
come to know the Lord at an early age and are
taught and discipled in biblical principles using
puppets, costumed characters, Bible games, music, videos, and
drama. This also enables them to be a part
of the ministry happening at NewLife Church!
Wednesday classes
NewLife children’s program on Wednesday is
designed to provide spiritual enrichment and fun
for children from K-5 through grade 8 (there are also teen classes for the older kids). The activities
begin at 7 p.m. as we meet in the main sanctuary for worship, after which everyone goes to their own exciting grade-level
class which lasts until 8:15 p.m.
Special Events
Throughout the year NewLife Church offers children special opportunities to both grow in Jesus, as well as to reach out with the love of God to the people of our community. Vacation Bible School, nursing home visitation, Girls Club Jamboree, and other events are times when our kids discover that Jesus isn't just about Sunday, but every day!
Proverbs 22:6 says: “Teach a child to choose the right path, and when he is older, he will remain upon it.” Our goal is to show children that serving Christ can be fun and exciting.
