Children are always welcome in worship!  Children's Bibles are available in each pew, and each Sunday, we have a Children's Moment time when all children are invited to the front of the church. We also invite your children to check out The Kids' Korner located in the narthex, which is stocked with worship bags, paper activities, books, and colored pencils.

Following the Children's Moment, children aged three through first grade are invited to go to the Chapel for a JAM Session.

• Seeds (Grades K-2) & Sprouts (Grades 3-5) - These small groups are formed for children interested in putting their faith into ACTION!  Seeds meet monthly and Sprouts meet weekly for ten weeks.  Both groups are involved in several outreach projects.
• Mission and Outreach Opportunities - We are always looking for new ways to help our kids learn to extend God's love.  Past projects have included Operation Christmas Child, Llamas for Bolivia, serving meals at the Day Center for the Homeless, volunteering at Restore Hope, collecting food, books toys, & school supplies for families in need, etc...
• Children's Choirs - Our Cherub Choir (grades K-2) and Carol Choir (grades 3-5) meet weekly during the school year.  They share their gifts of music & song both in and beyond the church.
• Christmas Pageant - Children of all ages are invited to express God's love by taking part in this fun and meaningful event.  The congregation looks forward to this special gift from the children each year.
• Vacation Bible School - Our whole church family pitches in to make VBS a great experience for all involved... children, youth,  and adults!  The church is transformed into fun, theme-related learning centers, and the kids also experience the joy of extending God's love by helping with a VBS outreach project.
• Fourth of July-We are preparing to celebrate our third year of hosting a fun-filled 4th!  At 10:00 am, anyone (adults, children, babies, pets!) who wishes to be a part of this celebration meets on the front lawn of the church and decorates their bikes and trikes, wagons, strollers, etc.  Wear red, white & blue and join us in a "Neighborhood Parade".  Following the parade through the neighborhood, join us for refreshments, games and an inflatable water slide for the kiddos.  We especially invite the friends and neighbors in the New Haven neighborhood!
• District Summer Camp - Rising 3rd through 5th graders may attend this fun-filled two and a half days in the midst of God's beautiful world at Camp Egan near Talequah.  This experience is a summer highlight for New haven children!
• Night Owl Camp - This end-of-the-summer overnight adventure is for 3rd through 6th graders.  Kids become closer to God and each other as they experience lots of outdoor fun in God's world.
• Babysitting Co-op - Parents helping parents!  When there is enough interest, parents take turns offering group baby sitting one evening per month at the church.  A weekly daytime summer co-op is also an option with sufficient interest.
• More Summer Events - In addition to the activities listed above, children get the opportunity to participate in other activities such as Movie Days, Park Play Days, , Sunday School Fun Days, Family Outings, Picnics and much, much more.
