Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me,” and at New Song, we value children as an integral part of the body of Christ and our church community.
Our Kids Ministry seeks to engage our kids in the larger mission of our church community:
- CALLED TO SPIRITUAL FORMATION | growing as wholehearted disciples of Jesus and being shaped daily by His ways and His Word
- CALLED TO PURSUE THE PRESENCE OF GOD | encountering God in worship and prayer, both personally and in our church community
- CALLED TO MISSION | serving and giving to others; sharing the transforming love of God and the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ with our families, friends, community, and world
CORE VALUES
RELATIONSHIPS | We want our kids to be actively engaged in the life of the church, and we encourage building long-lasting, supportive friendships with each other and with adults in the church who will pray for, love, and invest in them.
FUN | We want to reflect the creativity of God as we learn about Him, and we believe we learn and encounter God best when our senses and bodies are fully engaged.
SAFE, AFFIRMING ENVIRONMENT | We provide a place where kids and volunteers can be unconditionally loved and feel safe and encouraged physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
ENCOURAGE AND EQUIP FAMILIES | We value the opportunity to invest in the lives of our kids at church, and we want to encourage and equip parents and families as they disciple their children at home.

KIDS’ MINISTRY | Kindergarten—6th Grade
• Younger or older children may participate at the discretion of the parent and Kids’ Ministry Director

PARENTS' ROOM
A Parents' Room is available downstairs in the fellowship area for parents with babies.
FAMILY SUNDAY
At New Song, we wholeheartedly believe in the value of involving kids in worship and the life of the church. Family Sunday is held monthly to allow kids to participate in the larger church body, not only Kids’ Ministry.
Nursery is available following worship for younger or active kids. Older kids are encouraged to sit with their families.
