New City Kids exists to assist parents, families, and caregivers in teaching the gospel to their children.
Each week in New City Kids we offer classes/care for children ages infant-6th grade.
Our classes are designed to help children develop an age-appropriate understanding of the gospel through learning activities and observing Christ-like behavior modeled by our adult volunteers. Each classroom is staffed with a lead teacher who has been through an application process, training and background check. Serving with them are volunteers from the congregation, also background checked.
All of our kids study and discuss the same Scripture passage and topic each week, utilizing the Gospel Project curriculum.

š What Weāre Learning
In this monthās unit, Jesus The Healer, we will learn that Isaiah prophesied that the Messiah would come to bring good news and heal the broken. During Jesusā earthly ministry, He performed amazing miracles, including healing those who were demon possessed, socially excluded, or physically unwell. Each miracle was done out of compassion for people and to glorify God.

BIBLE STORY SUMMARY
While in Capernaum, Jesus taught in the synagogue with authority and cast out an unclean spirit from a man, astonishing the crowd. He then healed Simonās mother-in-law and others who were sick or possessed. News of His power quickly spread throughout the region.
