Our youngest friends are cared for in the children’s wing of Celebration Center, the same building as our main service. Little ones play, hear Bible stories, and sing worship songs made just for them, so you can worship knowing they’re in good hands.
Ages 6 – 10
New Life Kids
Level Up is children’s church built just for elementary kids: worship they can sing along to, Bible lessons they can understand, and friends who are growing in their faith too.

A place to belong, grow, and lead.
Students are not just the church of tomorrow. They’re part of what God is doing at New Life today.

For Parents
Common questions
Do I have to pre-register?
No. You can register at check-in on your first visit. Pre-registering just makes Sunday morning faster.
What should I bring for my little one?
Diapers, wipes, and a labeled bottle or sippy cup if needed. A change of clothes is always a good idea.
What if my child needs me during service?
You will receive a text from the staff to the number that was used during check-in.
Can I stay with my child on our first visit?
With elementary aged students, participation is welcomed on a case-by-case basis. For younger children, it is generally discouraged due to the potential for increased separation anxiety for the child and/or their friends. A Family Room is available at the back of the sanctuary for parents who prefer to keep their children with them.
Do you have support for kids with special needs?
Yes we do, and many of our staff and volunteers have experience with kids and students with special needs. Feel free to reach out to ask questions in regards to your child.
