nextgen

NextGen @ NewLife is committed to partnering with parents and engaging kids to create a unified voice of spiritual exploration. Our small group leaders guide children through age-appropriate and fun lessons kids can understand at their developmental phase in dynamic and creative environments.

down home

Down Home is our space for our littlest people from birth to Pre-K. Our focus combines child development with theology to influence your child's faith through caring, imaginative and fun lessons.


At this phase, a preschooler can understand that:

God made them

God loves them

Jesus wants to be my friend forever


We have children's programming on 4 Sundays a month. Come and check it out.

younglife

New Life is grateful to partner with Younglife to provide a midweek connection for High School Students. 


Young Life is a local outreach ministry that focuses on introducing adolescents to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith. Through building relationships with teens, Young Life leaders “earn the right to be heard” and are able to have gospel-centered conversations with kids and help them explore their faith. This is done through fun weekly outreach events, which we call “club” and bi-monthly bible studies which we call “campaigners” throughout the school year. We welcome students from all walks of life, faith backgrounds, and congregations. 


For more information on how to get involved, you can email Bobby Garrison, or check out their website below!
