NewHope Kids is on Holidays
We are currently taking a break for the summer school holidays, but would love to see your family at a church service. Please click here for times.
NewHope Kids returns on Sunday the 9th of February, 2025 at 9am and 11am. We’re looking forward to being together for a brand new year.
At NewHope Kids our passion is to see kids encounter Jesus today and walk with Him tomorrow.
We love partnering with families as the key spiritual nurturers of their children and building life-giving relationships through Bible teaching, worship, prayer, small group time and fun.
Our Kids Church services run in line with the morning adult gatherings each Sunday at 9am and 11am through the school terms. We have age appropriate programs for children from 1 years to grade 6.
Kids Church is fun, free and everyone is invited! If you are coming along for the first time please fill out the registration form found below to help us prepare for your visit.
