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.

We begin each Sunday with “You Matter”. We believe every student that walks in the door matters, not just to us at New Life JH but to God. During this time we get to meet one of the JH students and hear a part of their story. Then, as community, we pray scripture, words of life, and a blessing over this student reminding them how much they matter as part of our family and the family of God.

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.

Breakfast Club is far beyond just free food once a month. It is one of the most intentional activities we do each month to build relationships and engage families.

JH meets in the Tent (separate building on the East side of the campus) Sunday mornings at 11AM. New Life JH requires students to check in each week. There is an initial sign in that requires a parent, guardian, or adult. Once a student has been entered into the system they will be able to check themselves in and out of the JH service each week. We recommend showing up a few minutes early each week as this gives students time to get checked in and connect with other leaders and friends prior to service. Recommended drop off and pick up times are 10:45AM-12:30PM.

Currently JH small groups take place during the 11AM service. Plans are in the works right now for groups to begin meeting outside of the weekly service. If you would like to be involved in hosting or helping lead a JH group please contact Jared Newman at jared@sightandsoundmedia.tv

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.
