Children
1st to 5th Graders
Kid Life is a ministry designed to allow children to know God. We have two goals: To place a Biblical foundation in children’s lives so the world can never shake them from their relationship with Jesus and to make church so fun that they always want to come. We teach God’s Word and love to worship our creator. We also love to reward kids for pursuing their walk with the Lord. We have a Kid Life Store where children can buy candy, stickers, and toys with their Bible Bucks that can be earned by bringing their Bible to church, memorizing scripture, and participating in our services.
Connecting with Him, Learning His Commands, and Raising Up the Next Generation
Psalm 78:1-7
Birth to Kindergarten
Little Life is for children from birth to kindergarten. In our littles’ area, we teach them how BIG our God is! Our goal is to provide a loving and safe environment for each child to learn and grow in Him! Our desire is to introduce them to Jesus at the earliest age possible! We believe that even as infants we can begin to teach them who Jesus is, leading them to a lifelong love of Christ.

FAQ
When you arrive at New Life, simply follow the signs that lead to the Kid Life Foyer, or ask a Welcome Host at the Welcome Center to show you. Once you’re at the check-in station, you will be asked for the name and age of your child. They will inform you of your child’s room number and answer any questions you may have. You will be given a set of stickers; one goes on your child’s back and one you keep. You will be asked to show your copy of the sticker upon picking up your child.
Yes! We encourage you to join us and be a part of what your child is experiencing during their service times.
Absolutely. The nursery/preschool is a secure area, meaning only authorized leaders and parents/guardians with a sticker are permitted. For additional safety, we have a highly trained security team stationed throughout the Kid Life area.
Each child is issued a page code at check-in on their sticker. This page code will appear on the monitor under the side screens in the Sanctuary should we need you.
Absolutely! You can drop by your child’s class anytime. As a security measure, you will need your child’s sticker to enter the hall.
We provide a light snack on Sunday morning, such as Goldfish with water, for ages 2 through K5 (Little Life only). Children younger than 2 are given parent-packed snacks and drinks, and we do provide snacks available for those introduced to solid foods. Please notify a leader if there are any allergy or diet concerns for your child.
As a general rule, if children are ill or still recovering from an illness, they are not directed into the nursery/preschool area. If a child has a runny nose, fresh cold, fever, rash, persistent cough, diarrhea or any other symptoms of illness they would be classified as ill. We appreciate parent cooperation in keeping all of the children as healthy as possible.
