GracePoint Children's Ministry
GracePoint is committed to our children. As we plan our lessons, prepare materials, and have fun in our programs, we pray that all of the kids hear the message of just how much God loves them!
Sunday Morning
New to GracePoint? Register your child(ren) below so that we know you are coming. We can't wait to meet you!
GracePoint Nursery (6 weeks - 4 years old)
Care for our smallest GracePoint attenders is provided during both worship hours and Sunday School on Sunday mornings.
During the check-in process you will be provided with labels to identify your child’s belongings and a pager in case your child needs you.
The nursery area has several rooms (Dragonfly, Frog, and Turtle), divided by age groups, for our 4-and-under kiddos for the Sunday School hour (9:45am).
The Dragonfly room is open for both services (8:30 & 11am) for babies and toddlers up through 3 years old.
9:45am Sunday School (Pre-K through 5th Grade)
Pre-K through 5th Grade kids begin in Room 124/128 at 9:45am for Bible On Location. After that opening time, they will move into their Sunday School rooms for their Bible lesson time. Grade school kids are going through the entire Bible using Lifeway’s Explore the Bible curriculum.
Don’t forget to check in at the iPads on your way to Sunday School!
8:30 & 11am Point Seekers (Pre-K through 1st Grade)
Early-elementary age kids begin worship with their families in the Sanctuary at 8:30 and 11am. Pre-K through 1st Grade are then dismissed as the message begins for a separate time of learning from the Bible (Room 126/127).
8:30 & 11am Point Finders (2nd through 5th Grade)
Typically, our 2nd-5th graders worship and learn with their parents in the worship services. Two Sundays a month we provide extra learning opportunities:
2nd Sunday Missions emphasis: All kids Pre-K through 5th Grade will start in the Sanctuary for worship and then be dismissed for a special missions lesson
4th Sunday Spiritual Formation: 2nd-5th graders will be dismissed with the younger kids, but they will head to their own class on important topics like how to study your Bible, giving, baptism, communion, and more lessons on the Christian faith.
AWANA
AWANA helps churches and parents work together to develop spiritually strong children and youth who faithfully follow Jesus Christ. Kids will experience a large-group teaching time, a small-group connection time, and of course, game time! AWANA runs from October through April. We have a waitlist for the 2024/2025 AWANA year.

The Cubbies groups is geared toward our 3 year olds to kids in pre-Kindergarten. AWANA is fun with a purpose – to reach and train kids for Jesus Christ. Games, puppets, crafts, awards and other activities transform our preschool program into a lively weekly experience where fun and learning go hand in hand.
For our kids in Kindergarten to 2nd grade, we ramp up the fun and energy a little more to help kids connect with God and each other. The curriculum takes kids a step deeper into God’s Word while giving boys and girls regular opportunities to hear the gospel and come to faith in Jesus Christ.
The name Truth & Training reflects the passion of AWANA to teach third- through sixth-grade boys and girls the truth of God’s Word and to train them to follow Christ in their daily lives. T & T is a program for 3rd-5th grade where we will experience high-energy worship, fantastic Bible stories during large group, as well as a great time to connect during our small group!

Volunteering
Our Children’s Ministry volunteers are the reason our kids can encounter Jesus every time we gather. By keeping kids safe, by offering an encouraging word, and creating a fun atmosphere, our volunteers make GracePoint the place kids love to be. There are many volunteer roles you can take on. GracePoint Church makes every effort to provide a safe place for kids. Volunteers are required to have a current background check and complete training.
