Children’s Ministry

It was Jesus himself who said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 19:14). And here at New Life, we say AMEN! We seek to welcome children from every kind of background in an effort to point them to the life and forgiveness found in Jesus. Here at New Life, there is something for every child!

Sundays mornings we offer the following ministries to children:

  • Sunday School for all ages beginning at 9:30 a.m.
  • Children and youth classes are established for pre-K, 1st -3rd grade, and 4th-7th grade.
  • Nursery is available for those 2 and under during the Sunday School hour.
  • Children’s Church for ages 3-Kindergarten which begins at approximately 11:15 a.m. (half way through the Sunday morning Worship Service which begins at 10:45 a.m).
  • Nursery is available for those 2 and under during the entire Sunday morning Worship Service.

Every Wednesday (during the school year) our AWANA ministry is in full gear from 6:30-8:00pm. (***see note below)

  • Children ages 3-13 are welcome for a time of Scripture teaching, Bible memorization, games, and snacks.
  • There are three classes, including Cubbies (ages 3-4), Sparks (K-2), and Truth and Training (Grades 3-6).
  • All children are welcome, regardless of whether their parents attend NLCF!
  • This year the fun will begin September 8th, 2010 and run through the end of April, 2010.
  • A small fee is required to cover the cost of vests, patches, and books.  For each family, the fee is $15 for the first child and $12.50 for each subsequent child registered.
  • To expedite the registration process, click here, download and complete the Sunday School Registration Form and Medical Release Form, and bring them with your child to AWANA.

  • NOTE: Because of current teacher / worker shortages, we are unable to begin AWANA ministry as scheduled on September 8th, 2010.  In all likelihood, we will re-start in January.  We apologize for any inconvenience but encourage you to check back for updates as information becomes available.

And each year our children’s ministry culminates in our annual Vacation Bible School.

  • VBS 2011 will take place from July 25th-29th from 6:30-8:30pm.
  • And you won’t want to miss this one, because we’ll be enjoying the “Big Apple Adventure”
  • As kids explore the big city, they’ll learn how to step out in faith and connect with Jesus – sharing the message of Christ with their world!
  • We hope you can join us!
