New Song Kids Ministry

February 26, 2009

New Song Kids Ministry is committed to seeing families know and love God passionately and to equip and to partner with parents to minister to their children effectively.

Can you imagine having meaningful conversations about a spiritual truth from God’s Word every week that includes every member of your family regardless of their age? At New Song Kids that can be a reality. The curriculum that is written and implemented each Sunday for kids, ages 2 through 6th grade, often times reflects what parents are hearing in the Celebration Services. It is with this heart that we commit to fully equip parents as the primary spiritual leader in their children’s lives.

Welcome!

February 25, 2009

Located in the Nashville, TN area, the New Song network is a family of churches that share a passion for reaching neighbors, nations and generations with the good news of Jesus Christ’s love and power.

We are dedicated to helping men, women and children dig deep roots in the things of God, find hope and healing as they grow in a love relationship with the Savior and mature into joyful, Biblically sound disciples who live fruitful lives of ministry that honor God and draw others to Him.

As members of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, we share our denomination’s devotion to Jesus as Savior, Healer, Baptizer with the Holy Spirit, and Soon-Coming King.

We would love to welcome you to one of our Cool Springs, Murfreesboro, Spring Hill or Woodbine services. Click here for more information about our locations and service schedules.
