we seek to introduce our youngest church members to the love and presence of God.
1. IDENTITY
Our goal is for each child to know who God is, how much they are loved by Him and their identity in Jesus.
2. TRAINING
We desire for each child to be trained to reach their full potential in Christ. We emphasize a love for worship and the importance of daily Bible reading, prayer and journaling time. NexGen uses “The Gospel Project” by Lifeway as our curriculum for teaching.
3. PARTNERSHIP
We partner with parents as they disciple and lead their children. We offer support, ideas, prayer, and community along the way.
4. COMMUNITY
We work to build supportive relationships with the children and families in NexGen by providing opportunities to get to know each other and have fun together.
5. SERVICE
Impact the next generation through serving our children! NexGen provides training and background checks for all of our adult leaders so we can offer a safe, loving and structured environment.
NEX GEN CLASSES
Classes are for children 6 weeks–23 months, 2 year olds, Preschool, Kindergarten and 1st–5th Grade
