NextGen Ministry guides kids and students from birth through high school in living out the Gather, Grow, Go vision. We provide safe, welcoming spaces for worship, learning, and relationship-building while empowering them to grow in faith and share the Gospel with others.

THE KIDS TEAM
The Kids Team helps newborns through 6th grade experience the love of Jesus in a safe, joyful, and age-appropriate environment. From Bible lessons to classroom care, this team creates a place where kids are known, loved, and encouraged to grow in faith.

THE BUDDY PROGRAM
The Buddy Program provides one-on-one support for children with special needs so every child can participate, belong, and experience Jesus’ love during our gatherings. Buddies help create a safe, caring, and welcoming environment where each child can thrive.

DEDICATION FORM

CHILD DEDICATION
Child Dedication is a special moment where parents publicly commit to raising their children to know, love, and follow Jesus. As a church family, we come alongside parents with prayer, encouragement, and support as they seek to build a Christ-centered home.
