Parents dedicating at The North Church for the first time must attend the Parenting the Early Years seminar in preparation for dedicating their child. These seminars are offered three times a year. After the seminar, a pastor or elder will schedule a home visit to meet with the parents and child. For more information or to register for the next parenting seminar or dedication, contact our team below.

We would be delighted to welcome the newest member of your family to our church community!

If The North Church is your church home and you’d like to have your child’s birth or adoption announced in the weekly North Update email and at weekend worship services, contact our team by Thursday at 5pm.

Will you join us in reaching and training the next generation in the joy of knowing Jesus?

Here’s what you need to know about our ministry.

• Jesus-centered: In our children’s discipleship ministry, we believe that the most important thing a child can learn about is Jesus.

• Family partnership: We believe that God placed children in families by design, and no ministry to children is complete without engaging and equipping parents.

• Excellence in all things: We believe that pursuing excellence in our ministry is essential to honor and glorify God!

• We train you: We know that serving in children’s ministry can be intimidating, so we offer training and coaching to help bridge that gap.

• We are learners: We believe that none of us are too experienced to continue learning. Pastors too!

We have a team ministry philosophy for children’s discipleship. Classroom teams include diverse ministry roles because God has uniquely gifted his church with varied skills which can all be used to reach the next generation for Christ. Three of our primary roles are …

Small Group Leaders

• Go deep with a consistent small group of 6–9 children.

• Pray for kids by name.
