MILESTONES

Spiritual Milestones

Parents, take on the responsibility of “primary spiritual nurturer” in your child’s life by participating with your child in the following spiritual milestones.

How does a parent take on the responsibility of “primary spiritual nurturer” in the life of his/her growing child?



  1. A parent grows in his or her own understanding of the Bible and relationship with Christ.

  2. Parents learn how to effectively practice age-appropriate family devotions in their own home.

  3. Parents learn to equip their children for the natural, spiritual milestones.

  • Baby Dedication

    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.

  • Basics for Kids

    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.

  • Follow Up with Children's Minister

    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 Leah McBain, Children's Minister, to schedule this next step.

  • Video Testimony

    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 carefully 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.

  • Baptism

    Baptisms are scheduled with your NextGen Pastor 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 Grade Blessing

    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 on Wednesday, April 10.



    For questions, please contact Christy McCallum, NextGen Pastor.
