Family Faith Formation

Family Faith Formation at New Life is just that!  Families walking in Faith together.  Families who travel and seek God together on a journey of faith develop a richer, deeper more lasting faith.  Children's greatest teachers are parents.  Parents who model the practices of worship, education, prayer and other spiritual disciples encourage their children to do the same. 

Our theme this fall is "Two Hours on a Sunday."  Our hope is for each family to give to God "Two Hours on a Sunday" through
Worship - celebrating God in community with others and
Education - growing in our understanding and knowledge of God in a variety of opportunities. 

 We offer Kingdom Quest for families with preschool and elementary age children, Explorers for Grades 5-7 and Emerge for Grades 8-12.   Adult classes are listed on our Access page.  You will find all the details listed here.

Kid Central Transition Team
8:50-9:20 a.m. Sundays

JOIN THE FUN!

In order to provide a “warm welcome” and genuine hospitality for our Kingdom Quest Kids and families we are in need of individuals and families to provide a friendly face of greeting and/or a fun activity on Sunday mornings.  You can be a huge blessing for kids that are transitioning from their home lives into education time here at New Life. Kids arrive at a variety of times and are hoping to make a connection with others when they arrive. You can be that connecting point and bless others with the light of Jesus.

Transition Team members will partake in a variety of opportunities including greeting kids as they arrive and helping families enroll and become familiar with the program. Other team members will lead a short 15 minute activity or two with the kids as they arrive and before the program actually starts. This is a time when you get to interact with the kids and get to know them individually.
