New Song Students
New Song Students exists to help students know God.
Every Wednesday night 6th-12th graders meet at the church for our student service. Our goal is not just to prepare students for a future faith, but to own and experience a real relationship with God right now.
Our student service is designed to invite the presence of the Lord here and to be actively obedient in response. We have times of fostering friendships with one another before service and after small groups. Students are welcome as early as 6:15p and can stay as late as 9:30p. Service kicks off officially at 7p with worship directed at glorifying God and shifting our hearts within us to be responsive to the word to come. Students sit under a given word that uses the entire breadth of scripture believing it is God’s word that brings life, and this generation can handle and deserves to be challenged by the full weight of God’s word. Student service then ends with small groups that are split between grades and gender where students have the immediate opportunity to take the heard word of God and to apply it to their life.
It is our hope and expectation to foster an environment through student ministry that creates of this generation, a generation who knows their God, as seen in the Trinity, and fully lives out their relationship with him now.

New Song Kids
New Song Kids is passionate about having an encounter with Jesus which we believe will produce resilient lasting disciples of Jesus.
We pursue the Presence of God through services rich with prayer and worship and activate Kingdom Community during small groups and imaginative play. Our volunteers ignite Transformational Discipleship in our New Song Kids who can then be released into Sacrificial Mission as the hands and feet of Jesus.
Table Talk
Week 3: October 18
Title: HUNGRY FOR MORE: The Discipline of Fasting
Teaching Scriptures: Matthew 4:1–11 — Jesus in the Wilderness
Secret Ingredient: SELF-CONTROL
Main Point: I am growing stronger as I practice self-control because Jesus is what I need most!
Questions
Read Matthew 4:3–4 together. Bread meets a real need, but what did Jesus say people also need? What does his answer teach us about depending on God?
Each time the devil tempted Jesus, Jesus answered with Scripture. How can knowing God’s Word help you when your feelings pull you toward a wrong choice?
Fasting makes room to focus on God. What activity sometimes takes so much of your attention that you struggle to stop? How could taking a short break from it help you turn your attention to Jesus?
Prayer:
Dear Jesus,
You are what I need most.
Teach me to trust you more than my feelings.
Help me remember your Word when I am tempted.
Help me grow stronger as I practice self-control.
Give me strength to choose your way. Amen.
Activations
Pause and pray: When you feel like grabbing, arguing, or interrupting, stop and take three slow breaths. Pray, “Jesus, help me choose your way,” and then make a kind choice.
Make room for Jesus: With a parent’s help, take a ten-minute break from a favorite show or game. Use that time to pray together about something you need Jesus’ help with.
Practice stopping: Choose one activity you sometimes struggle to stop. Ask a parent to set a timer. When it rings, stop, put things away, and thank Jesus for helping you practice self-control.

Title: HUNGRY FOR MORE: The Discipline of Fasting
Teaching Scriptures: Matthew 4:1–11 — Jesus in the Wilderness
Secret Ingredient: SELF-CONTROL
Main Point: I am growing stronger as I practice self-control because Jesus is what I need most!
Questions
Jesus was hungry, and the devil tempted him to turn stones into bread. How did Jesus answer him? (He used God’s Word and said people need more than bread.)
When is it hard for you to stop or wait—during a game, when you want a snack, or when someone has your favorite toy?
The next time that happens, how could you practice self-control and turn to Jesus for help?
Prayer:
Dear Jesus,
You are what I need most.
Help me pause when I want my way.
Help me listen to your Word.
Help me grow stronger as I practice self-control.
Thank you for helping me. Amen.

Nursery
In the Nursery, we celebrate God's greatest creation - new life! Our nursery serves as the first experience a New Song infant has of church. From 6 weeks old to 12 months, these babies learn to LOVE church! Our volunteers hold, pray for, and speak God's Word over our littlest church members - and we even introduce them to their first lesson!
Ones
This class offers a safe environment for moving and exploring as our toddlers learn that they are a wonderful creation! Our one year olds' favorite part of the is their weekly lesson - "God loves me." They find Jesus in their Bibles, enthusiastically worship, and learn to tell their friends about Jesus!
Twos
We believe that two years old is a pivotal development moment, and we embrace this teachable little crew with hands-on learning! This classroom provides an interactive lesson that lasts a month long. By the end of the month, your two year old will have had every opportunity to memorize a power verse, fully grasp the lesson, and experience the presence of God!
Threes
This young childhood service is geared towards developing authentic curiosity for God’s word, by creatively teaching understandable biblical principles. Here your preschooler will learn more about worshiping God as they grow towards elementary school.
Pre K
Our biggest “littles” may have the most fun of all! In our Bible-strong preschool curriculum, these kiddos give their whole hearts to memorizing scripture, worshipping God, and creating a weekly craft as they learn to walk with their Creator.
K-2nd
Kids from Kindergarten through 2nd grade will have a DYNAMITE time as they play challenging games, experience worship all together, and engage with a message specifically designed for them. We end each service by spending time in prayer, because we desire for every child in our NSK classrooms to have an encounter with Jesus.
3rd-5th
Kids from 3rd through 5th grade will be challenged to step outside of their comfort zones through small groups and engaging lessons as they begin to take ownership of practicing the way of Jesus. Our leaders are equipped to handle their big questions of life and have already been praying this week that your big kids would have an encounter with Jesus!
