THRIVE (New Life Center’s Children’s Ministry)
 
Imagine raising kids who are growing toward full devotion to Christ, who can meet the challenges their generation faces and be leaders for the Kingdom!

Think of a place where children have so much fun learning about how awesome God is that they don't want to miss a single week; a place that communicates love for children and their playfulness and freedom; a place where children and parents not only sense the presence of God, but are encouraged to dream, discover and develop as followers of Christ.

Think of a ministry where children are intentionally shepherded in small groups where they are known and loved where adult volunteers serve with great joy and passion knowing they are influencing the next generation of Christ's followers today.  Where they are led in prayer and at times praying in small groups for each other as they seek out God’s direction for their lives.
 
Think of a church where children not only are lead in worship, but participate with singing, clapping, kneeling… and even dancing.  A place of worship where they feel the presence of God so strongly, they are sure of God’s love for them and His desire to help and heal them.

There are many things that contribute to a thriving, relevant, life application children's ministry like the one described above.

•    A child-targeted environment
•    Solid, Bible-based, relevant teaching
•    Strong leaders, committed volunteers
•    Clear vision and mission   

We are continually listening to our children, the adults influencing their lives and following God’s leading on how to best reach this next generation of children… so they will THRIVE!
