our ministry
Nursery
Your child is a beautiful gift from God and we are here to care for and love your baby or toddler. We also are excited to help introduce your child to their Creator through play, songs, stories, and prayer time.
Our nursery is for babies and toddlers from 6 months – 24 months old. Check-in begins 15 minutes before services start and closes 15 minutes into the service. It is open during the Saturday night and Sunday morning services, and during select special seasons throughout the year. The Nursery is located in the East Wing of the Northview building on the main floor.
Our nursery features:
- Carefully enforced check-in system
- Strict enforcement of volunteer/child ratios of 1:3
- Separate areas for crawlers and walkers, and a quiet room with cribs
- Weekly cleansing and disinfecting of toys
- The most loving and gifted volunteers to care for and love on your littles


Preschool
Preschool is for children aged 2 – 4 years old. Each week your child will be welcomed by caring and compassionate teachers and helpers. Your child will participate in singing and will hear the Bible story creatively taught. Then it’s back to the classroom for prayer groups, Bible verse memorization, activity time, and craft. The activities relate directly to the Bible story and allow the teacher to re-tell and reinforce the Bible lesson. Prayer groups will allow your child to be personally prayed for each and every week they come.
We are committed to meeting their needs for love, security, understanding and acceptance in a world that is unstable, competitive and sometimes violent. Our programs are kid-oriented, our teachers, coaches and supervisors are carefully chosen and our curriculum is Biblically sound. It is a privilege to care for your children here. Together as a team, we are growing tomorrow’s leaders. Let’s give them the best. Let’s give them Jesus! After all, they are HIS kids!
Grade School
Registration for classes opens 15 minutes before service. Children in Kindergarten through Grade 5 then gather for a time of worship. Children will then be divided by grade and meet in their own classroom for a time of activities, Bible study and prayer. Our children are taught the Word of God using Gospel Project.
Here, we seek to sow seeds of faith in our children by teaching God’s Word, modeling godly character and displaying Christ’s Love. Our programs are kid-oriented, our teachers, coaches and supervisors are carefully chosen and our curriculum is Biblically sound. It is a privilege to care for your children here. Together as a team, we are growing tomorrow’s leaders. Let’s give them the best. Let’s give them Jesus! After all, they are HIS kids!
Each week the kids are given a memory verse to memorize. We use the NirV Bible as it is very kid-friendly. This Bible is available for purchase at the Kids Info Desk on the weekends for $25.

Northview Kids Newsletter
Joining our newsletter is the best way to stay up to date with all the important information and upcoming events. We want to make sure our families are in the know on everything that is happening in Northview Kids.
Child Dedication
At Northview Church, we aim to equip our parents to raise deeply rooted kids who love our great God, and child dedication is part of the journey. Child dedication is the parents’ affirmation before the gathered church of their intent to lead and spiritually nurture their child to know, love and serve God.
- Child dedication classes and services are held at the Downes Road, Central Abbotsford, and East Abbotsford Campuses.
- All parents must attend a Child Dedication class prior to the dedication service.
- If you’ve already attended a Child Dedication class, you do not need to attend again.
