KidsPoint at Grand Point Church is fun experience serving children from birth to 5th grade. Our philosophy of ministry is quite simple: We want to help children grow like Jesus:
“… in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with God and man.” Luke 2:52
We want kids to know, from the moment they arrive, that we can’t wait to share something exciting with them. And that something is the Good News of Jesus! Through worship music, fun interactive games, multi-media productions, drama , and anything else we can utilize in both small and large group experiences, we strive to help kids develop their own personal relationship with Jesus and continue on a life-changing journey with Him, one step at a time. KidsPoint looks fun because it IS fun!

How does check-in work at KidsPoint?
Our KidsPoint welcome desk volunteers are available to greet you with a smile! If it is your first time bringing your child to Grand Point Church, we understand it can be a time of uncertainty. Our volunteer greeters at our check-in desks will be able to answer any questions you may have and provide you some further insight into our children’s ministry.
Check in process, security measures & more!
Each family will register their child/children into our kiosk system. We will then provide them with a nametag that will list their name, their age level of ministry, alerts to any allergies/special needs and a pre-generated number corresponding to a parent/caregiver tag, which you will need to use to pick up your child later.
Please note that if there is ever a need to contact a parent/caregiver during a service, we will refer to this registration tag for contact information.
Safety is a main concern for all of the children registered to join KidsPoint. Our ministry area is “secure,” meaning the only people who are permitted through this part of the building at all of our campuses are our background checked & cleared staff, volunteers, and parents with a tag who are there with their children.
For additional information regarding our safety plan with our KidsPoint Ministry please refer to our Parent Handbook: (coming soon)

At the heart of our ministries are caring leaders who volunteer their time and passion to serve our children and youth. All volunteers have undergone our background screening requirements and participate in our leadership covenant. Training meetings are offered throughout the year to equip our teams to take their own “next steps” as we encourage young people to do the same.
