Children

 

WELCOME TO S.O.A.R.!

We are excited about our new Children's Ministry! S.O.A.R. stands for:

  • Showing children the love Christ has for every child.
  • Offering children opportunities to SOAR into serving God and equipping them and their families to climb closer to Christ.
  • Actively navigating children through the Bible and making it real in their lives.
  • Raising children up to become fully devoted followers of Christ.
Your child is precious to us so we are placing importance on their time at NW Hills.

Sunday Morning - 9:45 am (all classes are in the Education Building)

We have Sunday School for all ages, beginning with the little ones (12 months through 2 years) in our "Toddlers Getting to Know God" class.  

Living Inside Out is our curriculum for ages 3 through 5th grade.

Children's Church Time
During the 8:15 and 11:15 worship services, we have Children's Church Time for the little ones (age 3-2nd grade), as well as a wiggler pack with books, pencils, and coloring papers.
 
On Wednesdays during the school year, at 6:30 pm, we have Bible study and choirs for Pre-K, grades K through 2nd and grades 3rd through 5th.   The choirs sing monthly at the worship services.  While your children are in class and choir, we have several adult classes for you to choose, or perhaps you'd like to join the kids as a helper.

Holy Week Events for Children

Parents will pick up their children from the Fellowship Hall after the service. Please RSVP to Natalie Long at Natalie@nwhills.org for this event so that we have enough food.
