Nursery
Ages: Infants through 1 year olds
Children up to 1 year old are part of our nursery. Here they will begin their journey through age specific classes as they progress through their formative years. We provide a warm loving environment where your child will feel comfortable and you will feel safe about leaving them while you attend a worship service. Our nursery department is a ministry, not just childcare and we believe that children at even the earliest ages can begin to learn about and understand God’s love.

Hello, my name is Shawna Moriarty. I’ve attended New Hope Baptist Church for 41 years now. I was saved and baptized in June of 1987, ever since then God has been tugging on my heart strings to spread his word. Of course, as a child I wasn’t quite sure how, until I was around 19 years old directing the children’s Christmas program. From the Christmas program a group of us young ladies and moms whom all have attended New Hope since we were infants, to start up a children’s ministry. Later, around 2001 would be named Future Hope Kids Program, with Psalm 78:7 as our theme bible verse. We started with a handful of kids and now it has grown to 25 to 30 children to teens on Wednesday nights.
Along with my husband Justin Moriarty we’re involved in lead singing for our children’s Sunday school classes on Sunday mornings, Sunday school teacher for 3 to 6 year old’s, fill in for Children’s church teaching during 11 o’clock services, Wednesday night Future Hope Kids Program teaching for 3 to 7 year old, VBS teachers for 5-7 year old and help direct in Christmas program. Justin will also at times drive the church van to pick up kiddos who may need a ride to church. As you can see we really enjoy working with the kids and desire for them to know Christ. As one of my Sunday school teacher’s explained “someday we’ll all meet in heaven and have a GREAT BIG PARTY!!! We’re excited to share Christ with children and their families!! Each child is so special to us here at New Hope!Thank you for taking the time to get to know our church family at New Hope Baptist Church.
