LittleLIFE

A series on Easter

Spring is the season for new beginnings! Whether you're cleaning out parts of your home or watching the flowers bloom in your garden, it's a time for new life and growth. Like a good gardener, Jesus wanted to help cultivate the seeds of faith in his friends so they could all grow closer to God. In this series, kids will learn all about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus as he sowed the seeds of new life in the world. Kids will discover that God sent Jesus to save us, Jesus understands when we're hurting, makes all things new, and connects us to God.

Monthly Memory Verse:

"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
— 2 Peter 3:18a (NIV)
Watch this video to see what hand motions go with the verse this month!
LittleLIFE is also working with our older Preschoolers and Kindergarteners to start learning the New Testament books of the Bible.

KidLIFE

Jesus Loves Us

Jesus was betrayed by His followers, beaten and died a cruel and torturous death. When He died, He took all of our sin on Himself and paid the ultimate price for our sins. As God, death would not defeat Him. Jesus rose from the dead! If we believe in Him for our salvation, we can be with Him forever! Jesus not only forgave us like He did Peter but wants us to have eternal life with Him. Jesus loves us!

Monthly Memory Verse:

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."
-John 3:16

56LIFE

A series about land and loss

God's perseverance in delivering us is greater than our inclination to sin. Walking in obedience to God ensures our ultimate victory. Disobedience blinds us and creates distance between us and God. Repentance is the way to consistently walk in freedom. Remembering God’s kindness leads us to repentance (Rom. 2:4). God is bringing us to a good land, and every river we cross along the way is an opportunity to set up stones—our own Ebenezers—to help us remember His goodness. God’s goodness anchors us when we’re tempted to stray, and His kindness leads us to trust Him when life is uncertain. So, we’ll embrace a new cycle: remembering and repentance.

StudentLIFE

A series on the Resurrection

There's nothing like throwing a party to celebrate the people you love. Be it for a birthday, an achievement, or a new chapter of life, parties give us a reason to gather, laugh, and create new memories together. And if we really stopped to look around, we'd find so many reasons to celebrate what's happening in our lives that the parties would never stop. In this series, we'll see what it's like when we celebrate all that God has done through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. We'll celebrate that with Jesus, everyone’s invited, and we'll celebrate who Jesus is. Then, we'll see how we're invited to remember what Jesus has done, let Jesus make us new, follow the Holy Spirit's lead, and how Jesus invites us to invite others.

Monthly Verse:

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead ..."
— 1 Peter 1:3

Our #1 Parenting Resource:

Parenting isn't the big moments, it's every moment.

  • Every parent has 936 weeks of influence from the time their child is born until they graduate.
  • Your child spends 1 hour per week at church and 167 hours per week away from church.
  • Those can be a daunting numbers, but meaningful faith moments don't just happen at church. Meaningful faith moments with your family can fit seamlessly into the daily rhythm of your life.
  • We want to join you in the journey of learning how to make faith a part of your daily routine by being a constant presence with your kids in Next Gen, by teaching them Gospel truths, and by equipping you to do the same the other 167 hours of the week!
