Children's Ministry

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” (Matthew 19:14).

Children are important to God, and are a vital part of our ministry here at NewLife. We offer Children's Church every Sunday during the sermon & closing worship time for children in grades K-5. We also offer nursery care for children in pre-school and toddlers and infants who are at least 6 months old. For students in grades 6-12, they are welcome to sit in the service or attend a Design for Discipleship class every 2nd Sunday and to hear the testimony and faith story of a church member every 3rd Sunday. 

Children's Church – Children are dismissed to Children's Church before the sermon (usually around 10:25). Chlidren's Church is taught by a rotation of mature Christians who are qualified, trained, and have passed criminal background checks. Our classes are currently using a Group Publishing curriculum called Dig In! on the foundations of the Christian faith.  

Nursery – Children from 6 months up to the age of four can be left in our nursery. Our nursery time consists of some free play, stories, songs, and a simple allergy-friendly snack. All caregivers have passed a criminal background check. We also have a private area for nursing mothers in the conference room to the south of the sanctuary, and cuddlers who are willing to hold and soothe infants so that you can participate in the church service.
