Children's Ministry
at Northminster
With the Holy Spirit's guidance and consistent prayer, we aim to build a strong and confident faith in children and students, connect them with Jesus and inspire them to follow Christ and share about him with others.
PHILOSOPHY
Even the youngest children should learn about Jesus and his love for us. Through our interactive, engaging programs, children learn while having fun. We create a safe and enjoyable environment for kids to grow in their faith and become strong, confident disciples of Jesus Christ.
At Northminster we seek through the Holy Spirit to help children come to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, grow in their faith, and go out into the world equipped to honor God throughout their lives. Nurturing families is a primary goal at Northminster. We strive to provide a safe, child-friendly place where your family can learn, praise, and celebrate together in Christ.
CHILDREN'S COURTYARD
Northminster's Children’s Courtyard has recently undergone a beautiful renovation, now featuring a new play structure, shaded areas, a toddler zone, soft play surfaces, and enhanced access control. This refreshed space provides a fun and engaging environment where children can play, learn, and grow in their faith through our dynamic children’s ministries. We invite you and your family to explore our community and experience all the exciting activities we have to offer. We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our community!
