NEW HOPE KIDS

INFANT TO 6TH GRADE

Where every kid is
seen, known, and loved! 🎉

Each week, we provide a safe, clean, and fun experience for your entire family!

Your First Visit

We can’t wait to meet you! Follow the signs to the New Hope Kids entrance in the lobby. Our check-in team will be ready to help.

We’ll help guide you, help you check in, and give you a number that you can bring back afterward to pick up your kids. If we need your attention during the service for any reason, we’ll send you a text.

WHAT WE VALUE

SAFETY

We go out of our way to protect your kids! Their safety is our top priority. All of our adult team members are background-checked and fully-trained to keep your kids safe. While you’re enjoying our worship service, you can relax knowing your children are in a safe, clean, and loving environment!

FUN

No, seriously. It’s the best hour of their week! Kids learn better when they’re having fun. That’s why we jam-pack every minute you’re here with fun games, memorable songs, and so much more. Your kids will have so much fun that they’ll be begging to come back!

CREATIVE TEACHING

We’re not just going to entertain your kids each Sunday morning, we’re going to teach them what the Bible says, in a way they can understand. We help kids take the next step in their relationship with Jesus. We’re excited to partner together with you on this!

PARTNERING WITH PARENTS

We value parents! We understand how important each phase of life is for every child, and we want to be a resource to you.

MAKING FRIENDS

God designed us for community, and we want your kids to build healthy relationships with other kids their age. Making friends and growing alongside their peers is an important part of their spiritual growth.

Hi! I'm Ray Peters.

Hi everyone! My name is Ray and I am the Children's Director here at New Hope! My wife Desiree and I have four kids and we make our home in Coolidge, Arizona. I am an educator by profession teaching in public, private, and charter schools. My heart is within children's ministry and my passion is pouring into young people to assist them within their faith walk! With the world becoming much more of an influence within the way young people choose to live, God has put it on my heart to help shepherd and disciple the next generation of followers in Christ. I pray that we create disciples who choose to go disciple the people God places in front of them. Here at New Hope we believe and work to make sure each child is seen, known, and loved just as Jesus does for all of us each day!

Is my giving tax deductable?

Yes, at the end of the year you'll receive in your mail a giving statement for the financial year. You can access your giving report anytime as well. You can find your giving profile here.
What is your preferred method of giving?

Online giving is our preferred method because it relieves the workload on our volunteers. It's quick, simple, and you're able to immediatly access your giving record. Although any check or cash (with giving envelope) will be recorded to your giving profile. Connecting your bank account will also save our church from paying credit card processing fees.
Why should I give?

2 Corinthians 9:6-7 says "Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." We believe first that if you feel like you're forced to give please do not feel obligated to give especially if you're a guest of ours. However, we believe that tithing is an investment in the Kingdom since the local church is both the hands and feet of Jesus and hope of the world. We incredibly thankful for all our incredible givers who allow us to continue to share the Gospel to the world and help change lives.
What does the overnight host do?

If you choose to serve as an overnight host, you will arrive at NHCC at 6:30PM. You will be provided a private and secure area to sleep; however, please bring your own bedding. You will serve as the first emergency contact should the families need any assistance during the night. There is an emergency NHCC and FP representative available by phone if needed. In the morning, you will be required to wake the families at 5:00AM. Once the families are picked up by the FP van (5:30AM), you will be asked to tie up the garbage bags and lock the building.
How does this organization help families?

Many of the families are in temporary situations where they need housing as they are looking for jobs. Family Promise helps organize, train, transport, and provide opportunities for job interviews to help equip famlies.
As an overnight host where am I staying?

You'll be staying in our youth room and you can sleep on our coach or bring your own bedding to sleep on.
Where will the families be staying?

They will be staying in the children's area in the seperate rooms. This allows privacy and safety for them.
