KIDS MINISTRIES
Here at High Pointe, we want parents to feel comfortable dropping their children off into the care of others. We work hard to maintain fun, safe and secure environments while sharing the good news of Jesus with our littlest High Pointe attenders. We also want you to have uninterrupted time to worship, grow closer to Jesus through His Word, and have time to fellowship with others.

OUR ENVIRONMENTS
SUNDAY MORNINGS
INFANTS & TODDLER ROOM
The Infant Room is for newborns until they are 1 year old and walking. The Toddler Room is for children who are 1 year old (and walking) up until 3 years of age. These rooms are designed to be safe, fun, loving environments that allow your child to explore and play.
THREE'S ROOM
This room is for 3 year olds. Three year olds will be taught a biblical lesson using Regular Baptist Press curriculum. There is a significant amount of exploration and creative play too.
PRE-K / K / 1ST GRADE ROOM
Our PreK/K/1st Grade environment helps children learn about God’s Word through engaging Bible lessons, worship, games, and activities. This teacher-led environment is designed to be both fun and meaningful for young learners.

This class does not meet on the first Sunday of each month (Communion Sunday) or when special events are part of the service, such as baptisms.
2ND & 3RD GRADE ROOM
Our 2nd & 3rd Grade environment helps kids grow in their understanding of God’s Word through Bible teaching, discussion, and age-appropriate activities. This teacher-led environment encourages kids to build a strong foundation of faith while having fun and building friendships.

SUNDAY EVENINGS
4TH & 5TH GRADE
Our 4th & 5th Grade ministry is designed to help preteens build a deeper understanding of God’s Word while developing meaningful friendships and a personal faith of their own. Through Bible teaching, discussion, games, and activities, students are encouraged to ask questions, grow in their relationship with Christ, and connect with other kids their age.

This group meets on Sunday evenings during the school year. Please email Jamie for the current schedule and additional information.
OUR POLICIES & PROCEDURES
ELECTRONIC CHECK-INS
All children must be checked in electronically at one of our Check-Ins stations to enter any environment.
-
First Time Families: These stations are to the right as you enter the foyer. At these stations, you’ll be greeted by friendly volunteers who will create a profile for your family in our database. Once that is completed, we’ll get your child’s name tag & security code printed, get you a parent security tag and walk you to the classroom. We’ll explain some important safety and security measures we have put in place too. This process takes 10-15 minutes, so please come early so you don’t miss praise & worship!
-
Self Check-Ins: These stations are for our returning families and are to the left as you enter the foyer. At these stations, you’ll be greeted by a friendly volunteer who can answer any questions you have about our environments that morning. You will use the iPads to check your kids in by simply inputting your phone number. You’ll receive your child’s name tag & security code, as well as your parent security tag and be on your way.
SAFETY & SECURITY
Only HPC staff and volunteers are allowed inside the classrooms, but feel free to stand in the doorway and peek your head in the rooms to take a look around. All staff and children’s ministry volunteers over 18 years old have completed a background check. When the service is over and it’s pick-up time, our volunteers are diligent in asking to see the parent security tag for each and every one of the kids. Remember to keep track of the parent security tag you were given at Check-Ins. Most parents stick them to their shirts/pants–that’s why they’re sticky!
EMERGENCIES
During the service, you’ll notice alphanumeric codes popping up on the projection screen. These are the children’s security codes printed on their name tags. When you see one pop up on the screen, check to see if it matches the code you were given at Check-Ins. If the code matches yours, your assistance is needed. Please go to your child’s room, and remember to bring the parent security tag with you! If you have multiple children in your family, we recommend going to the youngest’s room first.
