KidsPoint looks fun because it IS fun! 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! With music, games, media, drama and anything else we can use to make our point, 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 serves children from birth through grade 5 in both small group and large group settings. 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.

How does check-in work at KidsPoint?
If it’s your first time bringing children to Grand Point Church, we know it can be a time of uncertainty. We have friendly helpers waiting at our check-in desks to answer any questions and help you get to know our ministry better.
Each child is checked into our system and given a nametag with a number corresponding to a parent/caregiver tag which you will use to pick up your child later.
Our children’s ministry area is “secure,” meaning the only people who are permitted through this part of the building are our background checked & cleared staff and volunteers, and parents with a tag who are there with their children.
Bible Quizzing
Bible quizzing is a great way for students to familiarize themselves with the Word of God. Quizzing is a competitive Bible memory program that helps students retain Biblical characters, stories, and verses, and travel to other churches, seeing how the body of Christ is interconnected across communities. Contact us to learn more!
Serving in KidsPoint
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.
“How can I get involved?”
