Ignite Your Child’s Faith Journey at KidsPoint!
Get ready for an incredible adventure at KidsPoint, Grand Point’s ministry for children aged birth to 5th grade. Our philosophy is simple yet profound: we strive to help children grow in the footsteps of Jesus, just as it is written:
“…in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with God and man.” Luke 2:52
From the moment your child steps into KidsPoint, they will be greeted with anticipation and excitement. We can’t wait to share something truly extraordinary with them—the Good News of Jesus! Through a dynamic blend of worship music, interactive games, captivating multimedia productions, and engaging drama, we create both small and large group experiences that will captivate your child’s heart and imagination. Our goal is to guide them in developing a personal relationship with Jesus and embarking on a life-changing journey, one step at a time. Trust us, KidsPoint isn’t just fun—it’s an experience like no other!
Join us this weekend at one of our GPC campuses, where your child will grow spiritually, connect with new friends, and encounter the transforming love of Jesus. Stay connected with us through Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube where you’ll find updates on upcoming events, valuable parent resources, and more.

Curious about our check-in process at KidsPoint? Our friendly and dedicated volunteers at the KidsPoint welcome desk are ready to welcome you. We understand that bringing your child to Grand Point Church for the first time can be a bit overwhelming, so our greeters will be there to answer all your questions and provide insights into our growing children’s ministry.
During the check-in process, each family will register their child/children through our efficient kiosk system. You’ll receive a personalized nametag with their name, age level, any allergies or special needs, and a pre-generated number that corresponds to a parent/caregiver tag. Keep this tag safe, as you’ll need it when picking up your child later. Rest assured that your child’s safety is our utmost priority. Only background-checked and cleared staff, volunteers, and parents with tags are permitted in our secure ministry area.
For more information on our safety plan and guidelines, we invite you to explore our comprehensive Parent Handbook. It outlines all the measures we take to ensure a secure and nurturing environment for your precious ones.
Get ready to unlock the wonders of faith at KidsPoint—where each child’s journey to find and follow Jesus is embraced, cherished, and empowered. Together, let’s set their hearts ablaze with the love and grace of Jesus, as they embark on an unforgettable expedition of faith, growth, and endless possibilities!
