Kid's Baptism @ New Life Fellowship

(For a more updated Kids Discipleship & Baptism Process visit our Kids Discipleship Page.)

Kid’s Baptism Process
(K-5th Grade)

Step 1: Parents and Kids attend We Believe- January 29
We Believe is a unique presentation for parents and kids where we share God’s plan for salvation (via John 3:16). We share the Gospel with parents and their children and then send them home with homework and tools to continue the conversation at home and invite your child to a personal relationship with Jesus. Before a child is baptized, he or she is required to attend ‘We Believe’. (A New Life Kids Leader will be following up with you in the days following We Believe to answer any questions you may have.)

Step 2: Kids Baptism Class- February 19 (Must attend 'We Believe’ FIRST)
A class for kids and parents where they learn about what is baptism, why do we do it and get details on the process. After this class kids will have the opportunity to share their story (testimony) of how they came to know Christ as savior via video.


Step 3: Meet with Us (By appointment)
We want to take this opportunity to answer any questions that you or your child might have about his or her decision to follow Christ as their personal Savior. We will also answer any questions that your child may have concerning baptism. This is a great opportunity for us to talk with you and your child before we move to the final steps of preparing for baptism.


Step 4: Kids tape a video for our Family Baptism Celebration! (Kids Baptism service)- TBD
Part of the Baptism process is to share your story of how you came to know Jesus as your personal savior. We will play your child’s testimony in the Family Baptism Celebration (Kids Baptism Service) just before they are baptized.

ONE more thing… We’re going to need you to submit a digital picture of your child. We will be using this picture during the Family Baptism Celebration. A fun, candid, horizontal shot is best!


Step 5: Get Baptized (Family Baptism Celebration!)-March 17 (Must attend 'We Believe’ AND Kids Baptism Class FIRST)
Woo Hoo! Your child is getting baptized. Family Baptism Celebration is an incredible event. Our hope is that it is something that your child NEVER forgets! So plan to invite your friends and family to join the party!

Should you have any questions about this process please feel free to call Rosie, New Life Kids Director, at 718.424.0122 or email us at children@newlifefellowship.org.

We Believe!

Kids ask a lot of questions!

Some are easy like... Are we there yet? and Why do I have to take a bath?

Some are harder like... Do frogs go to heaven? and How does God hear me when I pray?

If your child is asking questions about faith, we'd like to help!
If you want to engage your kids in conversations about faith and aren't sure how, we'd like to help!

January @ New Life Kids {Parent Cue}

Hi Parents!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's a new year and a new month.  And that means we have NEW THEMES in our Preschool (Nursery, Toddler & Preschoolers) and Elementary (K-5th grade) environments.

At New Life Kids we want to give you tools, tips and Cues for different ways you can have conversations about the things of God in your home with your kids. You can piggy back off of what the kids are learning at church and do your own family time devotions, and even take advantage of some of the games and converstion starters we provide for you every month (via Parent Cue sheets).

In the mean time a good place to start is here on this blog. Take a few moments to watch these videos and see what kids will be learning this month with their Small Group Leaders and Storytellers:
