Praise Pointe Kids Sunday School

We follow a large group model. Children will participate in an engaging and relevant worship service and participate in games, crafts, and other activities designed to reinforce a central theme for the morning. If you would like to follow along with our lessons please download the ParentCue App by Orange which will provide you with the weekly movie as well as a question to discuss throughout the week.

Youth

Youth Ministry

School is a priority… BUT a strong faith community helps students get through the day-to-day life and stress of school. We have several options every week to keep students’ faith alive throughout the school year.

 

We strive to be a safe place where everyone belongs to hopefully find their identity in Jesus Christ.
