New Hope Kids
Kids Ministry exists to support families in discipling their children, teaching them God’s word and how to have a relationship with Him. We also work hard to help children find purpose and community within God’s family, understand God’s love for them and how to share that same love with others… all while having tons of fun! We want them to develop a firm foundation of faith using purposeful activities that include crazy games, engaging experiments, interactive teaching, and worship.
Age Groups
Nursery
Offered during both services.
We establish trust by meeting needs consistently — diaper changes, feedings, extra snuggles — and to provide opportunities for singing, bubble popping, and age-appropriate toys and textures.
Pre-k - Kindergarten
Second service only.
Your child will learn about and experience Jesus through an engaging curriculum delivered by caring and consistent leaders. Our program gives them space to color, play, dance, and even be a part of teaching the Bible story!
1st - 4th
Grade
Second service only.
Your child will problem solve, think deeply, and process their thoughts and questions. We also want them to know church is a fun and safe place to explore their faith, make friends, and be encouraged by leaders.
Parent Resources
The Parent Cue app assists with teaching your child about the ways of God with simple, helpful tips. You can also view and use some of the content your kids learn about at New Hope, for free. That’s a win-win!
