Kids Ministry

Welcome to NLC Kids!

We strive to bring a safe environment that gives our children an uninhabited opportunity to grow in Jesus. Our teachers and room helpers are thoroughly screened and trained. We use modern, fresh means to express the love of Jesus to our kids, using mediums ranging from songs, games, story-telling, and visual media to arts and crafts.

We are excited to have a new children's wing opened this last year, with new rooms for each individual age group: nursery ages birth-2, toddlers room, and a preschool room.

We have something special for each age group.

All students are required to have a 2019 Medical Authorization Form on file to participate in NLC special events. Digital form is available here.

Check-in systems
The secure check-in kiosk is located in the main lobby just to the left of the main entrance. On check in, children will be given a name tag that includes vital information for teachers (allergies etc.) as well as a unique number so only parents with the matching receipt will have children released back to them.

1st-5th grade

Our Kidz Church hour is designed for students to enjoy games, crafts, and interactive music that encourages them to respond to God through worship and prayer time.

Every Sunday kids connect in small groups their own age, led by their own small group leader and assistant. New theme related programs begin each quarter that will take kids on an adventure into God’s word and will help them apply it to everyday situations. Bible stories, activities, memory verse memorization and snacks are all a part of this action packed curriculum. Students who regularly attend will receive a stamp card for attendance, bringing a friend or Bible, and reciting memory verses. Cards can be exchanged for fun prizes.

Preschool (Ages 3-K (potty trained)

Preschool Praise is a time for interactive worship. Props like puppets, posters, videos and other visuals engage children’s natural desire to dance, sing, socialize and just have fun!

Designed for children 3 to 5 years old, our preschool experience is alive with activity, creativity, and learning. Included are scheduled activities for gross motor play on the play ground or in the Play Building. Lessons encourage scripture verse memorization. Children learn Bible stories through interactive storytelling, singing, craft projects, and playtime. Snacks are provided. Each student receives a stamp card to reinforce Bible story time and positive behavior.

Nursery (Birth - 2)

The nursery is available from 9:30 am to 12:30PM. Our nursery ministry is blessed and operated by professionals and volunteers from the church that have been screened and trained. Lead and assistant attendants will love and nurture your child while providing multi-sensory toys and interactive play. We follow Safety and Health Policies and Procedures so you can rest assured that your child is receiving excellent care. While in the Nursery, if your child becomes ill or unusually difficult to comfort, we will contact you immediately via our paging system. Please Include In Your Child’s Bag:

A bottle (already prepared) or a sippy cup labeled with your child’s name
Several diapers or Pull Ups
Pacifer (clip-on, labeled)
