Northview Kids Praise CD – Because of What He’s Done

Singing is a great way to worship God together. Because setting God’s word to music is a wonderful tool to teach us about God, we’ve put together this album of original songs, written and recorded by Northview, for your family to enjoy and sing together.

“Because of What He’s Done” is available for hardcopy purchase for $5.00 at the Kid’s Info desk on the weekends and at the front desk during the week, as well as digital download on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, & CD Baby Store at https://store.cdbaby.com/.

We hope your children will be strengthened in their faith and knowledge about Jesus through this CD!

 

 

Weekend Ministry

The Nursery

Your child is a beautiful gift from God and we are here to care for and love your baby or toddler. We also are excited to help introduce your child to their Creator through play, songs, stories, and prayer time.

Our nursery is for babies and toddlers from 6 months – 2 years old. Check-in begins 30 minutes before services start and closes 15 minutes into the service. It is open during the Saturday night and Sunday morning services, and during select special seasons throughout the year. The Nursery is located in the East Wing of the Northview building on the main floor.

Our nursery features:

• Carefully enforced check-in system (For faster check-in, go to kidcheck.com to set up an account in advance)
• Strict enforcement of volunteer/child ratios is 1:3
• Separate areas for crawlers and walkers, and a quiet room with cribs
• Weekly cleansing and disinfecting of toys
• The most loving and gifted volunteers to care for and love on your littles

Preschool

Preschool is for children aged 2 – 4. Each week your child will be welcomed by caring and compassionate teachers and helpers. Your child will participate in singing and will hear the Bible story be creatively taught. Then it’s back to the classroom for prayer groups, Bible verse memorization, activity time, and craft. The activities relate directly to the Bible story and allow the teacher to re-tell and reinforce the Bible lesson. Prayer groups will allow your child to be personally prayed for each and every week they come.

We are committed to meeting their needs for love, security, understanding and acceptance in a world that is unstable, competitive and sometimes violent. Our programs are kid-oriented, our teachers, coaches and supervisors are carefully chosen and our curriculum is Biblically sound. It is a privilege to care for your children here. Together as a team, we are growing tomorrow’s leaders. Let’s give them the best. Let’s give them Jesus! After all, they are HIS kids!

The Preschool is located in the East Wing of the Northview building on the main floor. Check-in begins 30 minutes before services start and closes 15 minutes into the service.

For further information contact the Director of Nursery and Preschool Ministries, Melissa at mbargen@northview.org.

 

Grade School

Registration for classes opens 30 minutes before service. Children in Kindergarten through Grade 5 then gather in Lower Court (located on the basement floor) for a time of worship at the start of each service. Children will then be divided by grade and meet in their own classroom for a time of activities, Bible study and prayer; Grade 5s remain downstairs, and Kindergarteners through Grade 4 go upstairs. Our children are taught the Word of God using Gospel Project.

Here, we seek to sow seeds of faith in our children by teaching God’s Word, modeling godly character and displaying Christ’s Love. Our programs are kid-oriented, our teachers, coaches and supervisors are carefully chosen and our curriculum is Biblically sound. It is a privilege to care for your children here. Together as a team, we are growing tomorrow’s leaders. Let’s give them the best. Let’s give them Jesus! After all, they are HIS kids!

Each week the kids are given a memory verse to memorize. Click HERE for a printable copy of this season’s schedule.

We use the NirV Bible as it is very kid-friendly. This Bible is available for purchase at the Kids Info Desk on the weekends for $25.

Child Dedications

You are beginning a beautiful journey. The Lord has blessed you with a very precious gift and now, you begin the significant journey of raising your child to know, love, and obey the Lord God. You are not alone. At Northview Church, we are committed to helping our parents because we know it is an important job…an overwhelming task! But most of all, it is a calling by God to all parents to love, care for and teach His children, that they may grow to walk with Him all the days of their lives.

Child dedications are held three times a year. All parents must attend a Child Dedication class held by Pastor Dwight Stephen prior to the dedication service.

For more information, including Child Dedication weekend dates and the online application form, please contact cmotz@northview.org

Check-In

KidCheck is our way of ensuring your child’s safety during weekend services. Your child is important to us. On your first visit, we need the following personal information: parent/legal guardian names, children’s names and birthdates, address, phone number and any special instructions (allergies, special needs) for each child. This information is entered into the KidCheck database to help maintain our secure check-in system. Go to KidCheck.com to get acquainted with this system.
