About Northwest Fellowship's Family Ministry
Welcome to NWF Family Ministry – where both children, pre-teens, teens and parents come together on Sunday mornings and during the week to enjoy times of fellowship and growing as a family the way God intended. The areas that make up our Family Ministry are as follows:
HarvestLand is our nursery through early childhood morning program. Our nursery for infants thru 30 months is a safe, caring and nurturing environment. Older two year olds thru Kindergarten explore an introduction to their Creator in an exciting, creative, and interactive way. Parents help the children during the week with the concepts learned on Sunday through the resources provided.
HarvestKids is our 1st through 4th grade elementary program. Learning God’s Word through several different and unique environments makes our Sunday morning experience inclusive to all families. Parents help the children during the week with the concepts learned on Sunday through the resources provided as well as join in on the fun from time to time.
Warehouse 56, NWF's Pre-teen Ministry is our 5th and 6th grade ministry. Pre-teens are God's next generation leaders, as such we strive to equip our pre-teens with the proper perspectives on what it means to be a leader and not a follower. That means making choices based on what is right and not necessarily what is popular. Pre-teen ministry also focuses on the vital importance of relationships at this age. Not only right relationships, but valued relationships are key to a young person's growth into the teen years. The most important relationship is that with Jesus, so this focus is always at the forefront of this ministry. Parents are encouraged to talk to thier pre-teens during the week leading up to Sunday about the subject matter discussed during the Warehouse 56 "Grapple" session.
Pre-teen Worship Team is a commitment to our firm belief that kid's like to sing! But it is more than just singing, we strive to teach the pre-teens about praise and worship for our awesome God. As well as focusing on God, pre-teens learn to lead younger kids in worship through hand motions, dance steps and worship time events, such as HarvestKids worship time. Pre-teens like to sing, but they really love to worship. Pre-teen Worship Team meets every Wednesday night from 7:30 - 8:00 pm in the Warehouse 56 room.
CORE youth ministry is NWF's teen/student ministry. CORE is about reaching teens with age appropriate ministries: Middle School and High School focused. Partnership with parents for this age group is encouraged through the relationship parents and small group leaders build during the tenure of the teen in the ministry. Wednesday night CORE functions are the foundation of growing relationships with the teens while enjoying fun activities and diving into key topics important to this age group. Parents are involved through on-going communication with the CORE leadership to strive to reach all teens with the relevent gospel of grace.
