Kids & Parents
At New Life, kids are encouraged to grow in their relationship with God through interactive services, time with invested adults, and intentional activities to reinforce the truth of the Gospel. Age-appropriate classes take place during each New Life service, unless otherwise noted. Click HERE if you want to volunteer!
The Nursery staff is committed to love babies and affirm parents on Jesus' behalf. Each week we integrate music, play, tell Bible stories, and reinforce three basic truths: God made me, God loves me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever. Learn more about Baby Dedication at New Life.
Preschoolers learn through hands-on activities, worship and creative storytelling. Kids will grow in their understanding of Christ's love for them and learn basic Bible truths, all while building relationships with loving adults. When children leave preschool, we want them to believe three basic truths: God made me, God loves me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
Before kids leave the 5th grade, we want them to understand three basic truths: FAITH I can trust God no matter what. WISDOM I need to make the wise choice. FRIENDSHIP I should treat others the way I want to be treated. Kids are invited to learn these important truths in a fun, interactive environment. They'll 'plug in' with small group activities that help them focus, then they'll 'power up' in a dynamic service setting with games, songs, and a Bible story, and they'll 'catch on' with more intentional small group time to reinforce the lesson.
Every Sunday at 10 & 11:30AM in Room 103 - The focus of the program is helping kids know Jesus through love, prayer and worship on an individual basis. We encourage kids to be all God created them to be, and we accept and love them as they are.

Resources for Parents
We utilize an incredible curriculum at New Life developed by the ReThink Group called, ORANGE. With its emphasis on parents and the church partnering together to influence kids for Christ, ORANGE has created some practical resources for making the most of everyday moments. Check out www.orangeparents.org for some great ways you can connect with your kids on the topics we've been discussing here at New Life every Sunday. You can also grab our Parent CUE at your child's classroom, or download the Parent CUE app from your smartphone's App Store.
