Children

It is often said that children are the next generation of the church. At New Life, we believe that children ARE the church. Our children's ministry team strives to aid parents in creating a safe and fun environment where their kids can learn, worship, and grow in Christ. Through various programs we desire to help children establish a firm foundation in the Word of God that will enable them to continue to grow in spiritual health through their teenage and adult years. Our children's ministry team are equipped to handle children from six-weeks old through 5th grade. All volunteers and employees working with our children have received a thorough background and character screening.

At New Life Church we do believe and take seriously the words of the Apostle Peter when he said, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” Acts 2:38-39. Thus we practice the covenant household baptism—which includes babes and small children—as the Church has done since the first century. If you would like to have your child baptized or wish to learn more about covenant baptism, please speak with our pastor.

Children's Church

Children's Church takes place during our normal 10:00 AM service time. Children begin the service with their parents in worship. After the songs of praise we bless the children and they are escorted over to our Kid's Corner where they experience fun, Bible-focused activities that help them learn more about Jesus. Beginning in January 2025 we will begin catechizing our children through the Heidelberg Catechism.
