Kids Ministry

Welcome NorthPoint Kids

We want NorthPoint Kids to be a place your child loves and can’t wait to come back to! We want it to be a place where kids are known, welcomed, and reminded every week that God loves them, is for them, and is always available to them. Through age-appropriate Bible teaching, meaningful relationships, and a whole lot of fun, we’re guiding kids toward a growing relationship with Jesus and a faith they can carry with them wherever they go. And because we believe faith begins at home, we want to come alongside you as you help your child know and follow Jesus.
