Children & Youth Volunteer Opportunities
Our Children & Youth Ministries Need Your Help!
 
We have an urgent need for volunteers willing to serve in important areas of our church family!

Sunday Morning Nursery (Birth to PreK)
Help care for our littlest ones during Sunday morning service.  Serving as little as once a month on a rotating schedule would make a tremendous difference!

Children’s Church Teacher (Kindergarten to 5th Grade)
We are seeking 1-2 lead teachers to help guide our children in learning and growing in God’s Word, serving just once or twice a month.

Wednesday Night Youth Group (6th to 12th Grade)
We are prayerfully seeking a dedicated leader to guide our youth ministry each Wednesday evening, investing in the spiritual growth and discipleship of our teenagers.

Could God be calling you to serve?

We encourage you to prayerfully consider whether God may be leading you to serve in one of these important ministries.

Not sure where to start?  You're welcome to sit in with our current teachers and students!  It's a wonderful way to get to know the children and youth, see what these ministries look like, and explore where God might be calling you to serve, without making an immediate commitment.

If you're interested or simply have questions, please reach out to Rachel, our Next Gen Ministries Director, or email her at rachelb@newlifecurrituck.org.  We'd love to talk with you!

We have New Life T-Shirts and Hoodies available!  Check out the glass cabinet in the hallway to see available color and style choices.  We are asking for a $10 cash donation for each shirt and $30 for hoodies.  Stop by the office to get one!

Benevo-what?
Did you know "benevolence" simply means "kindness"?  

Throughout Scripture, God calls His people to care for those in need. Our Benevolence Fund allows us to provide practical assistance to individuals and families facing difficult circumstances, sharing Christ's love in tangible ways.  At New Life, we consider it a blessing to care for one another - it's what family does!

Our Benevolence Fund helps meet unexpected hardships and medical needs within our congregation. We currently have opportunities to come alongside families in need. If the Lord leads you to give beyond your regular tithes and offerings, gifts may be designated to the Benevolence Fund through the offering boxes, App, or website.

October is Pastor Appreciation Month!

Throughout October, we invite our New Life family to take time to thank, encourage, and show appreciation to Pastor Dan, Pastor Jimmy, and Brother Paul for the many ways they faithfully serve our church family.  Through their preaching, teaching, encouragement, and leadership, they help keep us spiritually fed and growing in God's Word.  Pastor Dan serves New Life full-time on a modest salary, while Pastor Jimmy and Brother Paul generously give their time and service on a volunteer basis.  We are incredibly grateful for each of them!

How can you show your appreciation?  A heartfelt note, gift card, homemade treat, favorite meal, or love offering are just a few ways to bless our pastors.  These are simply suggestions -- feel free to express your appreciation in whatever way you feel led!

Want to give online?  You can contribute to our Pastor Appreciation Fund through online giving.  Please indicate which pastor your gift is intended for, or whether you'd like it distributed among all three.

Above all, we encourage you to keep our pastors and their families in prayer, asking God to strengthen, encourage, and guide them as they continue to serve Him and our church family.

God at Work!🙌

Vacation Bible School

What an incredible week of VBS! Thank you to every volunteer who gave your time, talents, and heart to serve our children. Because of your faithfulness, we had the amazing opportunity to share the gospel and the love of Jesus with so many young lives in our community.

WaterLife Baby Bottle Campaign

Together, our church family raised $680 to help provide hope, support, and practical resources to families facing pregnancy-related needs. Thank you for sharing the love of Christ with our community!

Mortgage Payoff Campaign

In 2024, our Pastoral Council and Finance Team felt God leading our church to focus on paying off the mortgage so that we can have more resources available for outreach, discipleship, and to support church growth.  Thanks to the Lord’s incredible provision and your faithful gifts, our mortgage, which was $317,069 in October of 2024, is now paid in full!  GLORY TO GOD!!  Thank you for your continued prayers, faithfulness, & support.
