New Hope Church, Lorton

Our Children’s Ministry includes babies through sixth grade. Because we believe the Bible is clear that parents are the primary spiritual leaders in the lives of their children, our hope is to partner with parents in their pursuit of this mission, coming alongside you. Thank you so much for your interest in our Children’s Programs. At New Hope Church we call our Children’s Ministry “Kids’ Time." In fitting with New Hope’s Mission Statement, “To help all people become fully devoted followers of Christ,” we believe that all children are special and valuable to God and that He wants them to understand how much He loves them and wants to develop a relationship with Him. We have built everything we do around those principles. What You & Your Children Deserve Kids’ Time at New Hope is a place where you will hear a lot of laughter and see a lot of love in action. Our goal is to teach our children about Jesus and help them grow in their relationship with Him. We teach our children in ways that are fun, exciting, and relational. We want to enter into their world so we can then speak to them about the world Jesus wants for them. We use games, toys, creative play, books, music, videos, drama, art, and discussion. New Hope Church exists to help all people become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. Utilizing the Heart Attitudes to guide us, we will focus on five core values to accomplish our vision.
