Sunday Check-in

Children and Preteens can be signed in at the check-in table in the foyer. They will receive a name tag for the day. Parents will receive a matching sticker. This sticker is used to pick your child up after church.

Children’s Church begins at the start of the message for kids ages 3 through 3rd Grade.

Preteens meet during the message on Sundays.

Nursery

BIRTH - 2 YEARS

NewLife Nursery is available during the service for children from birth through 2 years old.  This is a time of play or rocking and holding.  Nursery volunteers include music and a Bible story for toddlers when possible.

Feel free to drop off anything your child may need during the service (diapers, wipes, bottle, pacifier, etc.) in a container that will be marked for your child.

NewLife Youth

7th - 12th Grade

New Life Youth Group is for kids 7th Grade through 12th Grade. Youth are invited to come to New Life on Wednesday Nights from 5:30-8:30 pm.

At 5:30 we have a welcome and announcement time then we head downstairs for a meal.

A usual Wednesday night includes a game, worship time, a Biblical message, and a time of discussion in small groups. 

We are studying the basic stories of the Old Testament, examining the cord that ties the whole Bible together.  We’d love to have you join us!
