Children are full of life, energy, and curiosity … and children’s ministry at NVBC is no different!
Every child is a precious gift from God, created in His image and designed for relationship with Him. We LOVE seeing kids encountering Jesus and experiencing His love and purposes.
We are passionate about providing safe, creative and engaging experiences for your child/ren to explore and express faith. Our desire is to partner with families in the spiritual nurture of their children and provide opportunities for all generations to learn from each other and grow together.
Sundays
Kids’ Church provides an engaging time for your children as they learn Bible truths in a creative and caring environment. Active and dynamic, our programs use age-appropriate craft, games, music and interactive experiences to build relationships and to enhance the teaching of God’s word.
Children join in our worship time in the auditorium before heading out to Kids’ Church during the message time of both our services.
When you arrive, please “check in” your child for Kids’ Church at the Sign In Desk in the forecourt, before entering the foyer.
