Children's Ministry is On

Sundays @ 10 AM & Wednesdays @ 6:30 PM

Welcome to New Life Chapel Kids’ Church. We thrive in “Helping Kids Become Fully Devoted Followers of Christ.” CHILDREN ARE IMPORTANT! Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me. Don't keep them away. The kingdom of heaven belongs to people like them" Matthew 19:14. 

Children are valued, loved, and are indeed a gift from God. We desire to train and disciple children of all ages to love God, His Word, and people. We want to see them follow Jesus with their whole heart, mind, soul, and strength. We want kids to walk away understanding God's Word and have a deeper relationship with Him.

 Your kids will explore God's Word from Genesis to Revelation. We are here to have fun and learn. We devote time to play, worship, do crafts, and have Bible lessons.  

Our desire is, also, to help and encourage parents to train their children in the Lord. Psalm 78:5-7 says, “to teach their children, so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they, in turn, would tell their children. Then they would put their trust in God and not forget His deeds but keep His commands.”

Child Baptism

If your child has made the decision to follow Jesus, then their next step is water baptism. Water baptism is an outward picture of what Jesus has done for us on the inside of our heart. Water baptism is telling the world that we belong to Jesus.

If your child wants to be baptized in water, we encourage you to read our NLC Kids Baptism Guide with your child to talk about the meaning of water baptism and to discern if your child is ready to be baptized. If you believe they are ready to make this decision and move forward with this important step, we encourage you to partner with our NLC Kids Team by emailing us at us at newlifechapelcm@gmail.com
