Families - Helping our church to grow.

Whether you have one kid or ten, you’re welcome here at New Church. On Sunday mornings, we offer several different options for you and your family to get plugged in. Our hope is to teach children to worship God, to love their families, and to be kind to other.

The GARDEN (<2 years old): Trained workers are available to greet you and your children in the nursery as early as 9:55am. We have toy horses, cars, as well as stuffed animals, story books, snacks, and background music available. It is our goal to provide safe care so that parents can participate in the worship service. For mothers who are nursing, or who want to hold their young children during the service, please take advantage of our auxiliary room next to the chapel. The room is heated and provides ample seating and has the live service fed in.

The PARK (2-4 years old): The PARK kids are dismissed during the service after the first worship set. Bible lessons, sing-alongs, crafts, and other activities are all geared to help our children at this early stage learn about Jesus Christ. There are also snack and play times to encourage sharing and the loving of one another.

The ARCADE (K-2nd): The ARCADE kids are dismissed following the first worship set. Worship with the bongo & conga drums or earn shekels for prizes by memorizing Scripture! These are just a few of the ways we try to make the church experience for the ARCADE kids fun! Lessons are Bible-based and geared to strengthen their relationships with Jesus Christ and each other. Stick around after the service to play some foosball or shoot some nerf hoops!

The LOOP (3rd-5th): The LOOP kids are dismissed following the first worship set. Our kids at this age are beginning to understand deeper concepts, so we try to reflect this in our lessons. Bible studies ask questions to make children think beyond the "Sunday-school answer." And, of course, at all times the LOOP is meant to be fun! Stick around after church to play some foosball or shoot some nerf hoops!
