Children's Ministry
A note from the Children’s Ministry Director
Welcome to New Hope Kids, the Children’s Ministry at New Hope Covenant Church! It is such a privilege to walk with your child on their journey of faith. Having come to faith in Christ when I was young and growing up in the church, I know personally the impact that an early knowledge of God can have on the course of a person’s life. My heart’s desire is to see children understand very early on that they are deeply loved by a God who is faithful and relentless in His pursuit of them. I feel that it is also important that every child understand that the bible is God’s Word, written to teach them powerful, life-changing Truths. My hope is that an understanding of God and the knowledge of His Word would lead each child into a life-long relationship with Jesus. As they unpack God’s Word, my prayer is that they come to know the freedom that the Truth offers. Finally, as they come to freedom in Christ, I desire for each child to be freed to worship God from the depths of their heart - however that looks!
Looking forward to journeying with you,
Jaime Howard
About the Ministry
At New Hope, we value families being able to spend 
time together in worship.Children in Preschool and up begin the morning in the service with their parents so that families can participate in worship together. After worship, the children are dismissed and head off to their individual classes. We also have a nursery/toddler room for children under preschool age.
Safety and security are very important to us and so each Sunday, we ask that you sign your children in at the New Hope Kids table, giving us any important instructions about your child, such as allergies or any other information you want us to know. Your child will only be able to leave with you after you have signed them out.
Our goal is to partner with you and equip you so that you can apply Sunday morning truths throughout the week. Your role in in your child’s faith journey is crucial and we value your involvement, your input and your suggestions. Our goal at New Hope Kids is to support and equip you. Please don’t hesitate to contact us!
About the Curriculum
We use a curriculum called 252 Basics. It centers on 3 Basic Truths modeled by Jesus in Luke 2:52:
I need to make the wise choice. I can trust God no matter what. I should treat others the way I want to be treated.
On the whole, 252 Basics utilizes Bible stories, a core virtue, and a memory verse each month while offering engaging presentations and applicable illustrations of how God works in our lives to make us more like Him. For more information about this curriculum, we encourage you to explore their website at 252basics.
