Our Mission

Next.Gen.Is.Us Ministries exists to create a safe and welcoming environment where kids and students of all ages can:

  • Belong in authentic community

  • Begin to believe in Jesus Christ and His Word

  • Become more like Him in their everyday lives

Our Vision

We long to see children and students grow into lifelong followers of Jesus—marked by:

  • Friendship with Jesus

  • Commitment to His Church and community

  • Love for the world around them

In our Children’s Ministry, we use the Brite curriculum to shape our weekly lessons. It’s a Bible-centered approach that helps kids understand Scripture, learn who God is, and see how faith connects to everyday life. Lessons are designed to be age-appropriate and engaging, with the goal of helping kids grow in their understanding of God in a way that’s meaningful and lasting.

Each week, kids participate in games, hands-on activities, and guided conversations that grow out of the prompts and outlines provided by Brite. These elements help kids engage the lesson in ways that make sense for their age and stage. We also aim to give parents a helpful window into what their child is learning, so the themes and questions from Kids Church can continue at home through simple conversations during the week.

If you’d like to learn more about the Brite curriculum or have questions about what your child is learning, our staff would be happy to connect with you.

Children’s Ministry Leadership

Our Children’s Ministry is led by the leaders pictured here, who oversee and support the weekly programming for our kids. They work closely with a dedicated team of volunteer teachers to create a safe, welcoming, and meaningful environment where children can learn and grow.

All volunteers who serve with our kids complete an application and background check and are trained and supported by our leadership team. If you’re interested in volunteering or have questions about our Children’s Ministry, these leaders would be glad to connect with you.
