The parent blessing is designed to be an intentional time for you to praise and encourage your 5th grader.
Parents, please prepare a one or two minute blessing that will be given privately to your child at the ceremony.
This ceremony is for 5th graders and their parents only. Due to space limitations, we are unable to accommodate siblings and other family members. Contact Linda Morrison with questions.
Sunday Mornings
RPC KIDS: Birth – 5th Grade
8:15a service | Birth-3 years programming
9:30a service | Birth-5th Grade programming
11:15a service | Birth-5th Grade programming
The mission of RPC Kids is to partner with families to build strong spiritual foundations, while encouraging children to grow in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. On Sunday mornings, we use the TRU Curriculum to teach God’s word in a fun, deep and engaging way. For more information on age specific programming, click on a section below.
Newborns through 24 months are welcomed into a safe, loving environment. It is important to us that you and your child are happy while they are in our care. We will inquire of your child’s needs when they arrive and let you know of any news when you pick them up.
When children are able, they participate in our Bibles and Bells program and sing about how special God’s Word is. In addition, our trained volunteers will share an age-appropriate lesson from the TRU curriculum and pray over your child each week.
If we need to notify you during service, we will do so by sending you a text message.
Helpful Hints:
- Bring extra diapers and a change of clothes.
- Label any items brought to class including cups, pacifiers, and diapers.
- We promote your children based upon development. When your child begins walking, they will move to the older nursery class. One of our caregivers will discuss this with you before a class change is made.
- All of our volunteers are background checked and trained on how to best care for your child.
- We maintain a safe ratio in each class.
- Our rooms and toys are sanitized each week.
For more information, contact Alisan Mobley, Nursery and Preschool Ministry Leader.
Toddlers and preschoolers are invited to a class that is filled with fun and exciting things to do. We have specific guidelines in order to provide a safe, clean environment. Each Sunday, we use the TRU Blessings curriculum to teach Biblical truths. The little ones then participate in craft time and take home something special that helps them remember the story they learned.
If there is a need for us to notify you during the service, we will text you.
Helpful Hints:
- Bring extra diapers, pull-ups, and a change of clothes.
- Label any items brought to class including cups, pacifiers, and diapers.
- Do not bring any toys from home. It is hard for children to share their special toys, and it is difficult for teachers to know which toys belong to each child.
- If your child is potty training, please communicate this to the teacher.
- All of our volunteers are background checked and trained on how to best care for your child.
- We maintain a safe ratio in each class.
- Our rooms and toys are sanitized each week.
For more information, contact Alisan Mobley, Nursery and Preschool Ministry Leader.
When your child arrives, he/she will be greeted with a warm welcome! Children have a few minutes when they arrive to choose a station to enjoy. Next, our children participate in a large group environment for worship, a puppet show, and their age-appropriate lesson from the TRU Wonder curriculum. Children then break into small groups for discussion and a time to create.

All children are a part of God’s story. We invite your 1st-3rd grade children to come be a part of our weekend experience at RockPointe and discover what God’s word says in a dynamic, energetic, age-appropriate way using the TRU Story curriculum! They will spend time in a combination of large and small groups, connecting and engaging with the Word and with each other.
Classes are held on Sunday morning during the 9:30am and 11:15am services.

WHAT IS MERGE?
Imagine being a 4th or 5th grade student. You don’t quite think you are a kid anymore (even though you are), but you’re not yet a teenager. So, where do you fit in during this transitional period of your life? RockPointe Children’s Ministry believes our 4th and 5th grade students need a learning environment all their own. Merge is an environment that is challenging, crazy fun, and works with parents to prepare these kids for the next chapter of their lives. Classes are held Sunday morning in WestPointe Building during the 9:30am and 11:15am services. Children will enjoy learning from the TRU Story curriculum and worshipping together along with a live band each week!

Jesus said, “Follow me.” (Matthew 4:19)
This is where discipleship starts—following Jesus. We learn from Him, we do what He does, we go where He goes, and we think about what He thinks about. Eventually, we find ourselves responding to situations the way He would. The more we follow Him, the more we start to look like Him.
Multiply mentoring is a discipleship path in which RockPointe Church high school student leaders (Disciple Makers) mentor 4th/5th graders to aid in their walk with Christ.
On-campus meetings between Disciple Makers and their mentees occur on the below dates during the small group portion of 9:30 service time programming.

Spiritual Milestones
How does a parent take on the responsibility of “primary spiritual nurturer” in the life of his/her growing child?
1) First, a parent grows in his or her own understanding of the Bible and relationship with Christ. 2) Second, parents learn how to effectively practice age-appropriate family devotions in their own home. 3) Finally, parents learn to equip their children for the natural, spiritual milestones.
Christian parents are naturally compelled to present their newborn children to God. This milestone connects new parents with the magnificent responsibility and opportunity of leading their children spiritually. When parents present their children to God even as Mary and Joseph did, they’re acknowledging two simple facts. First, this new baby is God’s creation and therefore God’s possession. Second, as stewards of God’s possession, parents have the responsibility to intentionally raise the child in a way that’s pleasing to God. In this class, we will discuss what this might look like, and how we at RPC can partner with you on this journey. The Baby Dedication ceremony during the service will occur the following weekend.

“NOW, I AM GIVING YOU TO THE LORD, AND YOU WILL BELONG TO THE LORD YOUR WHOLE LIFE.” 1 SAMUEL 1:28

Location: NorthPointe Building - Training Room
This class is for parents and children in 1st-5th grades. The plan of salvation, what it means and when it is time to be baptized, and how communion fits into a Christian’s life are all topics which will be taught. These topics are covered in a relevant and child-friendly way. This is the FIRST step in the baptism process.
A follow up with your Children’s Minister should occur once your child has completed the Basics for Kids class, has asked Jesus to be their Lord and Savior, can articulate his/her salvation experience, and is ready to proclaim their salvation publicly. Email Christy McCallum, Children's Minister, to schedule this next step.
At RockPointe Church, we invite children who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and who are ready to proclaim this choice publicly, to make a video testimony. This is Step #3 in the baptism process. The video will be recorded in advance carefully by our Ministry Staff. Your child will be prepared and made at ease during the taping. On the day of your child’s baptism, his/her video testimony will be played in the Worship Center before the actual baptism. Afterwards, a video with their testimony will be given to you along with a Baptism Certificate and a Baptism Memories packet to record special moments from the day.
Why a video?
Since baptism is a public proclamation of your child’s faith in Christ, we feel that the video gives your child the opportunity to share what they really want to say. Additionally, your child’s faith story is very meaningful. We want them to be able to remember it and share it with others as inspiration.
Baptisms are scheduled with your Children’s Minister during your child’s follow up. Baptisms take place on Sunday mornings, and include a showing of your child’s pre-recorded testimony video.
5th graders and their parents/guardians are invited to a time of prayer, blessing, and celebration as they transition to 6th grade and to Student Ministry. Please join us for this milestone celebration. Desserts and photo booth following the ceremony.
Registration for the 2020 5th Grade Blessing will open in the Spring of 2020.
This class is a follow up to baptism for your 1st-5th grader.
In this three-week class held on Sunday mornings, your children will spend time discussing, at length, these four topics:
1) Becoming a Christian - Their testimony and how to use it
2) Following Jesus’ Example - Baptism and the Lord’s Supper
3) Church - What that is and what a Christian’s responsibility is
4) Developing a Relationship - Spending time with God
