Weekly Meeting

The Tent Sundays at 11am

The ministry of New Life Junior High aims to love every student that walks through the doors. Our heart is to connect with them in a candid way, and create a meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ and the other leaders that can love and support them along the way.

Before the Service Worship Teaching

New Life JH meets every Sunday at 11AM in the Tent. We love having students show up early to check in, hang out, and play games with other students and leaders in the lobby.

Students are coached and invited to participate in worship as we sing and turn our eyes and ears to the Lord. Our hope is that during the JH years students begin to encounter God as they still their heart, set aside distractions, and choose to magnify God in their life. During worship students also have the opportunity to give of their tithes and offerings. We believe it is critical that students begin to see God as their provider and their source. Developing a generous heart, putting others needs above our own, and learning to live a life of sacrifice are all foundational pieces we hope to see instilled in the JH students.

The second half of service typically consists of teaching, small group time, and response. New Life JH follows the Tru Curriculum developed by our Family Ministries Pastor, Michelle Anthony. The Tru Curriculum was developed by an incredible team of pastors and leaders with many decades of collective study, resources, and ministry experience. Each week the curriculum focuses on a God Statement; “God is Love, God is Just, God is Victorious, God is Creator, God is…” These statements help center every teaching on God instead of just the people and stories we find in the Bible. It helps students start to gain a perspective in their lives that God is the central focus and author in their life. It is through exploring who God is that we create opportunities for students to connect in small groups each week and to respond to the teaching.

Check In Small Groups Parent Involvement Parent Orientations Special Events

Junior High meets in the Tent (separate building on the East side of the campus) Sunday mornings at 11AM. New Life Junior High requires students to check in each week.Our check in stations are located in the East hallways next to the playground. We encourage parents to check-in their students and take a few minutes to meet our Junior High leaders at the check-in stations. Check in begins at 10:45am. Junior High students will be able to check themselves out of the Junior High service each week

Currently JH small groups take place during the 11AM service.

In New Life JH, Parents are the primary disciplers of their children. While Christ is the cornerstone and foundation on which everything is built; parents are the pastors, leaders, counselors, comforters, security, prayer warriors, and support to make this ministry work. We understand the challenges that exist and recognize that not all students come from a healthy home environment. No matter what the home environment is like we know that nobody can do this alone. As a parent, New Life JH is a place you can expect to both give and receive. As a church body we are able to become spiritual moms and dads to students, we share stories and collective wisdom, and in our weakness we gain strength from one another.

We want to invite you to participate in what the Lord is doing in the lives of your students here at New Life Junior High. For more information on serving in New Life Junior High, please contact Lisa Mendoza –lmendoza@newlifechurch.org
