Children
Our mission is to provide a safe, fun, Spirit-lead learning environment in which our children can develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The goals of our ministry are for children to: read the Bible or hear it read, pray regularly, give generously and serve others. We accomplish these goals through two main programs: Jesus and Me! (JAM!), and Faith Formation.
Jesus and Me
We offer a Sunday School program called Jesus and Me (JAM!) during both worship services. Each Sunday, children from age three through 4th grade start worship with their parents and are dismissed to their classrooms during the service. All children begin with an engaging group lesson in the Hub, then are divided into age-specific classrooms led by a teacher and an assistant.
Nursery + Toddler
Childcare is offered for the duration of the worship service any children ages newborn through two years old. Our nursery volunteers are caring people of our church who love children.
Youth Night
Our 5th and 6th graders attend worship with their families each week. On the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Sundays of each month, students have an opportunity to learn more about God’s Word together, enjoying fellowship in a fun, age-appropriate setting. Dinner is provided!
Faith Formation
At NAPC we support parents’ role as the spiritual leader of their children. We partner with parents in this important role by providing tools and programs through the Faith Formation framework. This framework provides a roadmap of key milestones of spiritual growth in a child’s development from birth through high school graduation. Parents and children attend all programs and have tools that enable them to grow in faith together. Faith Formation milestones include: Baptism, First Bible, Worship, First Communion, Confirmation, and Sending (Graduation).
