Children’s Ministry

Infants

NURSERY

Our Infant Nursery is available for parents of infants to change diapers and for nursing mothers.  We offer a pack-n-play, toys, and a space for your little one to enjoy as well.  For your convenience, we supply wipes and up to size two diapers for your use. There is also a stream of the service on the TV so you won’t miss a thing when your little one needs some extra attention.

TODDLERS

NURSERY

We take seriously a child’s first church experience. We view this ministry as more than just a babysitting service. Our volunteers and workers incorporate experience, movement, and fun to begin teaching our little ones about the Bible and loving God early!  
You can expect the same commitment to safety as in Potter’s Kidz. Our check-in system links each child to the parent or guardian who brought them and if you bring a diaper bag, that is linked to you as well.

The Toddler Nursery is available 15 minutes prior to and after our scheduled services.  We provide snacks to minister to the physical needs of their growing bodies.  Rest assured that your toddler will be in a clean and safe environment.  We always have two volunteers on duty.  If your child would happen to need you, we will come let you know right away.
We find most parents choose to keep their infants with them during service, so our Toddler Nursery is for crawling toddlers to age three.

Potter’s Kids

Yet you, Lord, are our Father.
    We are the clay, you are the potter;
    we are all the work of your hand.

Our Potter’s Kids program is all about partnering with you!

New Life’s Children’s Ministry welcomes grades Pre-K through 5th grade. We provide a safe, clean and nurturing environment. Our services are developed with your children in mind. They can expect to experience a worship service, a lesson, games and crafts. Our focus is to guide children in their relationship with Jesus in partnership with their primary caregivers. We do so by diving deep into God’s Word and providing children with a greater understanding to the Bible. We love pouring into the next generation and equipping them to share with others God’s love!

Our check-in system ensures that every child goes back with the parent or guardian that brought them. We keep child safety a top priority.

Dedicated to Ridge Matthews

The Potters Kids room is lovingly dedicated to Ridge Matthews who has been with Jesus since 2020. We love you, Ridge.

Our heart for this ministry is simple and strong: To make the gospel accessible to all children. We believe every child is uniquely created in the image of God and deserves the opportunity to know Him in a way that is engaging, meaningful, and tailored to their individual needs.

Our Special Needs Ministry provides a safe, loving, and inclusive space where children with developmental, sensory, behavioral, or communication differences can experience the love of Jesus and grow in their faith.

What we currently offer:

1-on-1 Aides: Volunteers offer individualized support for children with special needs or behavioral challenges to help them participate fully in ministry activities
Noise-Canceling Headphones: Provided during worship and other high-volume times to support children with sound sensitivities.
Visual Supports: Visual schedules, cues, and timers help ease transitions and clarify routines.
Flexible Seating Options: We offer bean bags, floor seating, and sensory bands to help children feel comfortable, regulated, and ready to engage.
Fidget and Sensory Toys: Available to help children stay calm, focused, and engaged throughout the morning.

Our growing vision includes:

1. Creating a dedicated sensory area for breaks and self-regulation.
2. Incorporating more multisensory Bible lessons using movement, visuals, sound, and hands-on experiences
3. Offering ongoing volunteer training to equip our team to better serve neurodivergent children and those with disabilities.
4. Implementing Universal Design for learning strategies so all children benefit from inclusive environments and teaching methods.

We want to continue to create a space where every child feels known and loved, and every family is invited to encounter Jesus in a way that works for them. If you’re a family seeking support or someone who feels called to serve, we’d love to connect with you!
