Children's Ministry

A: Your child will learn straight from the Bible through videos, in-person instruction, and hands-on learning experiences. We use Orange Curriculum which provides a fun and creative way to learn more about Jesus.

A: When you come to the check-in station, you will receive 2 printed tags per child. One is placed on the child with their name, any highlighted allergies, and a number. The second tag is a number that corresponds with your child’s name tag. You hold on to this number tag as it is used to safely pick your child up after service.

All of our volunteers go through an application and Federal background check screening process in order to be your child’s leader.  Lastly, we have a LifeSafety member that stands at our children’s wing to ensure only people with proper identification are allowed back with the children (volunteer & staff tags, parent tag, etc).

A: If at any time your child needs you during service, you will be sent a text message letting you know to come to the children’s wing. Once there, you will be greeted by our Children's Minister, who will inform you of the situation and will walk with you to see your child.

A: We place children in classrooms based on their age or grade.
For our infants through pre-K, they move to their designated classroom based on their age throughout the year. However, we recognize that all children grow at different developmental stages and ask that if you would like your child moved up a class, within our infants to pre-K program, to speak with the Children's Minister before checking your child in on a Sunday. Helping us understand your child’s needs will allow us to place them in a classroom that’s the best fit and give them the greatest opportunity to learn about Jesus!

For Kindergarten through 5th grade, students are placed in their classes based on grade level. This ensures that your child is getting the greatest opportunity to learn about Jesus!

A: When you first register your child, you will be asked if your child has allergies. This will be documented in our system and printed on your child’s name tag at every check-in. Your child’s allergies will also be listed on the room’s roster list. Making your child’s leader aware of the allergies when you drop them off is always helpful too. There will also be signs outside of every classroom when food is being served in the classroom. If you need to update your child(ren) allergies please email jdefrain@northpointecc.org or go to the First Time Desk in the Children's Ministry wing.

A: We want to make sure that every child has a positive, Jesus-centered experience on Sunday morning and one of the ways that we help make that happen is by learning about and understanding your children. Educating volunteers, altering programming, or more may be options for creating a specialized Sunday experience. If you have a child with special needs, we would be happy to create a plan where they can have a fun, safe, and positive experience. We ask that you reach out to our Children's minister, Jenna DeFrain, at jdefrain@northpointecc.org and she will work with you to create a customized plan and experience for your child.
