We pursue the Presence of God through services rich with prayer and worship and activate Kingdom Community during small groups and imaginative play. Our volunteers ignite Transformational Discipleship in our New Song Kids who can then be released into Sacrificial Mission as the hands and feet of Jesus.
Sermon Series || As It Is In Heaven - Freedom || Romans 6:5-8 “For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. For whoever has died is freed from sin. But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.”
Ultimate freedom is being freed from a life curved in on itself.
God’s order is God first, neighbor next, self last.
Sin reverses the order. Self first, neighbor next (when convenient) and God somewhere.
Is your life following God’s order or sin’s order?
God killed your inability to be anything but curved in on yourself.
Read Romans 6 together out loud and discuss.
What kind of letters has sin been writing to you to get you to come back and be enslaved to it?
Formulate your response based on Romans 6 and the fact that you are reckoned dead to sin.
True freedom is when a life curved in on itself becomes a life poured out in love for God and neighbor.
Can you think back to any specific moments recently where you experienced the true freedom and true joy of pouring yourself out for someone who doesn’t live in your household?

In the Nursery, we celebrate God's greatest creation - new life! Our nursery serves as the first experience a New Song infant has of church. From 6 weeks old to 12 months, these babies learn to LOVE church! Our volunteers hold, pray for, and speak God's Word over our littlest church members - and we even introduce them to their first lesson!
This class offers a safe environment for moving and exploring as our toddlers learn that they are a wonderful creation! Our one year olds' favorite part of the is their weekly lesson - "God loves me." They find Jesus in their Bibles, enthusiastically worship, and learn to tell their friends about Jesus!
We believe that two years old is a pivotal development moment, and we embrace this teachable little crew with hands-on learning! This classroom provides an interactive lesson that lasts a month long. By the end of the month, your two year old will have had every opportunity to memorize a power verse, fully grasp the lesson, and experience the presence of God!
This young childhood service is geared towards developing authentic curiosity for God’s word, by creatively teaching understandable biblical principles. Here your preschooler will learn more about worshiping God as they grow towards elementary school.
Our biggest “littles” may have the most fun of all! In our Bible-strong preschool curriculum, these kiddos give their whole hearts to memorizing scripture, worshipping God, and creating a weekly craft as they learn to walk with their Creator.
Kids from Kindergarten through 2nd grade will have a DYNAMITE time as they play challenging games, experience engaging worship, and be captivated by a message specifically designed for them. We end each service by spending time in prayer, because our main goat for all New Song Kids is to have an encounter with Jesus.
Kids from 3rd through 5th grade will be challenged to step outside their comfort zones through small groups as they dive deeper into their walk with Jesus. This class is designed to help older elementary kids steps through their threshold into who God has created them to be. We can’t wait to help your big kids launch into all God has for them!
