Kids Starting Point

This is a Sunday evening salvation and baptism class for children who are asking questions about becoming a Christ follower and wish to follow through with believer’s baptism by immersion. This no-pressure class will answer children’s questions and walk a child carefully through their understanding of the choice they are making. This four-week class offered 3 times a year and involves parent participation at our first class meeting and at home. To join the next session, email cathys@discovernewhope.com.

Led by teachers and leaders who understand the unique needs and developmental characteristics of preteens, this Bible study will help preteens move into faith ownership. Preteens will engage in important conversations and be transformed as they are able to ask questions, process doubts that they may have, and see their faith grow.

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2 

Check-in for Preteen Bible study is 6:15 pm in the Portable; pick up by 7:30 pm (promptly).

Bible Drill (4th-5th)  | Offered in the Spring

Memorization of scripture sticks with a believer for the rest of his or her life. Bible Drill is an incredible discipleship tool for teaching preteens God’s Word. At Bible Drill, 4th-5th graders will develop strong scripture memory skills while learning the books of the Bible and key biblical passages. Bible Drillers will work on Bible skills for competition at the local, area and state levels.

Bible Drill is offered in the spring semester (January).

Kids Worship Choir

Joining seasonal kids worship choir is a great way for your Kinder-5th grader to discover the gift of worship. Kids’ Choirs perform once a year; rehearsals run 7-8 weeks prior to performances.

Kids Missions

Kids living out their faith is the ultimate goal of Kids Ministry. Throughout the year, we provide opportunities for kids to do that through mission projects or service days. From packing parties for Operation Christmas Child, to serving at local ministry organizations, we help kids take the first steps of sharing Jesus and His love with people in their community.

Journey to Easter, Easter Weekend

Easter will become real to kids as they interact with 7 different scenes/stations from the Easter story, make special crafts and hear costumed Bible characters share important moments on the journey to Easter. Kids will be impacted with the Easter story as they see, hear, touch, taste and even smell the things Jesus did on his journey to and beyond the cross.

This is a 1.5-hour Easter experience for parents and elementary kids (siblings are welcome!). To keep lines and wait times short, we have different start times for families to choose from. Reservations for this experience begins in March.

Kids enjoy a fun-filled week of Bible study, music, recreation, drama and more! Adventure Camp is for completed Kinder-5th Grade.

Preteen Camp, June

Through small group Bible study, worship services, church group devotions, recreation and other camp activities, children hear the message of Jesus in a non-manipulative manner. This camp is for children in completed 3rd-5th grades.
