Infant to 5th Grade
Welcome to Kid's Ministry!
We believe children are a treasured gift from God. Our desire at NorthRidge is that each child would feel God’s love and know they are a treasured part of the church.
CoveKids - Birth-1st Grade
Sunday 9:00 & 10:30
Our youngest children are welcomed into age appropriate classes. They will learn lessons from the Bible, memorize scripture, praise and worship together, learn how much God loves them and Make a Difference in the world around them.
Summer 2022 Memory Verses
As always, it is fine to choose whichever translation of the Bible you like. The verses listed below are in NIV. Our hope is that you will focus on memorizing these as a family! If it is easier, you always have the option to make a video of your child saying their verses and sending it to kids@nrf.life.
The last day to get credit for the Summer verses is August 21. For kids who have memorized all verses in this unit, they will have the opportunity to go to the memory verse store on August 28 to choose a prize.
TreasureLand - 2nd-5th Grade
Sunday Summer Schedule 9:00am
Classes are designed to encourage kids to connect with an adult leader and to develop lasting relationships with a small group of kids. They will learn to Love God through songs, memorize verses, spend time with their small group reading the Bible and do activities that enable them to apply God's Word to their lives.
Their love for others grows through small group discussion time and sharing and praying for one another. Finally, kids are encouraged to look beyond themselves and make a difference in the world around them through prayer for missionaries, giving, and being involved in service projects.

During KidsQuest, we seek the treasures of God’s kingdom, the real treasures God has written for us in His treasure map—the Bible.

KidsQuest is a time for kids to invite their friends to meet Jesus.

Our Vision
Love God
God’s love for kids is deep and evident in all scripture. At NorthRidge, our goal is to encourage kids to know God better though studying His Word (the Bible), memorizing Bible verses and worshiping him through song, prayer and giving. As they get to know God better, our prayer is that their love for him will grow both in faith and obedience. In kid’s ministry, we believe even at a young age a child can understand their need for a Savior, that’s why we present the gospel message often, and encouraging them to talk with their teachers or parents if they have any questions.
We encourage kids to attend worship with their parents as they are ready. Once they have placed their faith in Jesus as their personal Savior, we encourage them to participate in communion and be baptized.
Love Each Other
In kid’s ministry we learn to love each other in several ways. Through practical application of each Bible lesson, they are learning to love God first but also their family and friends in practical ways. One way we encourage kids to love others is within small groups. In age and gender specific small groups, they are encouraged to share their struggles, victories and prayer requests with each other creating an accepting, safe and loving environment to share life.
On this website page you will find links to our monthly newsletter which has activities and resources to apply and expand on the Biblical principles we are learning in our classes.

Make a Difference
Making a difference means reaching out beyond our families and church to the world around us. Kids love to make a difference, so our goal is to provide opportunities throughout the year for them to make a difference, both in our community and around the world.
Through inviting friends to our weekly Wednesday night KidsQuest, gathering supplies for CROSS (a local food shelf) or Easter baskets for Mobile Hope, kids can make a difference in our community. We also encourage them to make a difference globally through both giving regularly toward missionary projects (see below for online giving links) as well as doing service projects like collecting school supplies or hygiene kits to send on missions trips.
