Kids & Students

Preparing the next generation to build relationships with Jesus

Willow North Shore is committed to helping the next generation establish and build relationships with Jesus Christ. To accomplish this goal, Willow has a core group of ministries that use age-appropriate teaching, activities, worship, and small groups to help children and students take next steps in their spiritual journeys.

• Promiseland (Infants – Grade 5)

  Promiseland, our children’s ministry, is offered during both weekend services. We believe the best way to prepare kids for their future is to partner with parents. Why? Because developing kids to stand firm, and have faith that sticks depends on this partnership.
  
  Promiseland is committed to families in two ways. First, we are committed to guide and equip parents with tools and resources to help them be the primary spiritual influencers in their homes. Second, we are committed to teaching God’s truths to kids through relevant Bible teaching, music, group discussion and age-appropriate activities.
  
  Kids are in a safe and secure environment. For kids who need assistance because of a developmental or physical challenge, we work with the parents to have one volunteer assigned per child. Our goal is to help them fully participate in the program. All volunteers and leaders are carefully screened and a stringent security process is in place for all kids.
  
  If you are a new family, we suggest you arrive 30 minutes early so we can walk with you to your child’s rooms.

• Elevate (Grades 6 – 8)

  Elevate is the Junior High Ministry of Willow North Shore. We help lead students to become fully devoted followers of God. Our hope is that in the three years that we have students in our ministry, we can teach them important skills to remain, or become followers of God throughout high school.
  
  There are many ways for Elevate students to participate in service projects around the community along with fun outings and weekend retreats where students have the opportunity to grow deeper in their faith.
  
  Elevate meets on Sunday morning from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in the Student Loft (located on the second floor of the main auditorium building) where they experience a time of worship, creative elements, a message, and small group time.
