Our Champions Club has pioneered a special needs ministry that serves elementary aged children in room 225 during our worship services. This amazing program combines child care with a Bible-based curriculum in which specific verses are shared and explored.
Jesus said the most important thing we can do is to love God and love others. Your acts of service, no matter how small, are an act of love. That’s why we do what we do. It’s what God made us for.

NextGen Ministry helps kids, students, and college young adults grow in their faith, build real friendships, and feel connected at Friends Church. Our goal is to create safe, fun, and meaningful environments where every young person can know Jesus and belong.
We would love to meet you. You can register your child, student, or young adult online before your first visit, or stop by our check-in area when you arrive. Our team will help you find the right space and answer any questions.
Yes. Safety is very important to us. Our teams use check-in systems, trained volunteers, and age-appropriate environments to help every child and student feel safe, welcomed, and cared for.
College Young Adults is for people in their college years and 20s who want to grow spiritually, build community, and find real connection with others in a similar season of life.
Yes. NextGen volunteers and leaders go through an application and approval process before serving. Our goal is to place caring, responsible, and trusted adults in every environment.
NextGen includes three main age groups: Kids Ministry for birth through 3rd grade, Students Ministry for 4th through 12th grade, and College Young Adults for ages 18 to 20s.
Registration is recommended for kids, students, and special events because it helps us prepare well. Some events may require registration in advance, especially camps, weekend experiences, and limited-capacity gatherings.
Kids experience a fun and safe environment with worship, Bible teaching, games, small groups, and caring leaders. Everything is designed to help children learn about God in a way they can understand and enjoy.
Students gather for worship, teaching, small groups, events, camps, and community. It is a place where middle school and high school students can ask questions, grow in faith, and build strong friendships.
