Youth Ministries

This ministry began one cold Sunday morning with a group of six elementary and middle school youth, waiting for the doors to open for breakfast.  Today about 30 children and youth call New Life home.

The vision of our young disciples’ ministry is to share God’s love with children and youth; by creating a place where they are safe and welcome so that they may grow to their full potential, responding to God’s love while caring for their neighbors.

Adult Christians are responsible to teach children, the next generation of Christians, to live Christian lives. And, all adults are responsible to protect children; we're all they have. They are voiceless and powerless, for the most part. Children in New Life's community need your love and attention. Are you interested in these goals?

Sunday Morning Christian Education and interaction with "young disciples" begins at 6:30 AM when Breakfast begins, and continues through worship.

Mentoring and Tutoring: Meets each Tuesday, 6 - 8 PM.  Adult mentors help students with their homework, teach computer skills, and encourage good study habits. But most importantly, they help them to develop a life-long love of learning and to foster relationships that encourage Christ-like living. With educational success, it is more likely that children will fully contribute to the body of Christ in the ways God has created each one to serve.  

 Vacation Bible School: Each summer for grades K-5.
