High Voltage Kids Ministry

At First NLR, kids are a HUGE priority!

We believe that kids are the future of the Church – and are a HUGE part of the Church today! We’ve made it our mission to do whatever it takes to reach, teach, and equip our kids to be all that God has called them to be! Our kids have state-of-the-art facilities and a phenomenal team of volunteer and paid staff to help make sure your kids are safe, having fun, and learning to be more like Jesus!

Every Kid Matters to God!

More Core Values

Early Childhood

Birth to Pre-K

At High Voltage Kids Ministry (HVKM), we provide a warm, caring environment for each child. HVKM Early Childhood is open during every service. It is staffed by both paid and volunteer workers. Each class includes a wide variety of playtime activities for each age group, as well as Bible lessons that correspond with the message in the Main Services. Fun characters, hands-on illustrations, and creative storytelling engage kids in the process of growing in God’s Word!

The spiritual development & safety of each child is of primary concern at First NLR!

Our General Policies

HVKM opens 20 minutes prior to each service/event.

Children are to be brought to the check-in counter by a parent/guardian and will only be released to the parent/guardian with a Guardian Pick-Up Sticker.

Parents/Guardians should come for their children immediately following the service or event they have attended.

Please see that items belonging to your child are properly and clearly labeled. This should include: diaper bag, diapers, plastic bottles/cups, pacifiers, drinking cups, and blankets.

Babies will be fed pre-measured formula, milk, or juice as provided only by the parent/guardian. Toddlers will be provided with a snack and water. Time and circumstances do not allow for any other type of feeding (including spoon-feeding infants).

We try everything in our abilities to calm an upset child for up to 15 minutes. After that, we will call the parent/guardian. That time frame can be catered for each family until the child feels comfortable staying at HVKM.

Elementary

COOL Kids

Elementary Special Needs Ministry

Centered Only On Love

COOL Kids is a Special Needs Ministry serving children 5 years to 5th grade. Our trained staff works with kids individually to teach them a personalized, hands-on Bible lesson each week. Our goal is to provide the opportunity for those with special needs to grow spiritually, physically, emotionally, and socially. We strive to promote friendship in an encouraging and fun environment, to make ministry with families experiencing a disability a natural part of church life−not a special one, and to show the love of Jesus and present the message of salvation to everyone!

COOL Kids takes place on the bottom level of the Main Building.
