First Links: Birth - 24 Months
This is the beginning stage of planting seeds of God’s love in a child’s heart. First Links provides a safe and secure environment where a child will feel nurtured and loved while discovering God’s world.

• Concepts. God made everything, including me. God loves me and gave me a family.
• Partnering. Pray for and with your children; introduce them to Bible stories and songs. Embrace teachable moments as a child discovers God’s love and His world.
• Events. Parent-Child Dedication is a special time where parents celebrate their family addition, and commit to raise their children in a Christ-centered home.

First Links: 24 Months - Kindergarten
Preschoolers build on discovery concepts previously learned as spiritual seeds begin to sprout. Our ongoing commitment to a safety and security allows children a place to explore.

• Concepts. God made me for a reason. He takes care of me. He sent His Son because of my sin. The Bible is God’s Word and I can trust it.
• Partnering. Parents assume a deeper role as the primary spiritual educator in the home (Deuteronomy 6:6), expanding teachable moments into family devotion and prayer time.
• Events. Kindergarten Graduation helps families make the transition from First Links to Kidz K’Nextion.

CPKidz: Grades 1-4
Kids are questioning the world they have discovered, wondering how relationships, circumstances and actions apply to their lives.

• Concepts. Kids will learn biblical answers to three important life questions: “Who am I?” “What do I believe?” and “How do I live it out?”
• Partnering. Throughout these years, Cross Pointe provides resources to help parents in their family worship time and how to lead their children toward Christ.
• Events. Our Adventure Class equips parents to begin a spiritual journey with their children. Family Worship events let kids and parents experience worship together.

Fifty6: Grades 5-6
This ministry meets the special needs of preteens as they transition to their teenage years. Preteens understand core spiritual concepts and can begin to demonstrate those in their daily lives.

• Concepts. Students can be confident in our relationship with Christ and demonstrate it to others with words and actions. Relationships with other Christians are important.
• Partnering. Bible skills development and opportunities for service help students build on their understanding of God’s Word and “living out” their faith.
• Events. Preparing for Adolescence is an event designed to help preteens get ready for life in Junior Varsity.

Jr. Varsity: Grades 7-8
Jr. Varsity students are imaginative and brave. They are asking lots of questions, but can demonstrate their faith in growing knowledge of the Bible and by sharing it with others.

• Concepts. We should view the world as God does (biblical worldview) and understand His design for the family. We learn from the life of Christ and the New Testament Church.
• Partnering. Opportunities for students to share their faith with peers highlight these years.
• Events. A Purity of Life event communicates a biblical view of male-female relationships. Authentic Weekend is a concentrated time of worship and discipleship that gives students an opportunity to bring their unchurched friends.

Varsity: Grades 9-12
High school are years often filled with endless activities and academic demands. As students mature they can find great satisfaction and purpose in serving others in Jesus’ name.

• Partnering. Cross Pointe partners with parents to teach Bible doctrine and spiritual disciplines as students assume ownership of their lives and futures in Christ.
• Events. Right of Passage experience for 16-year-olds. Additionally, a graduation event helps students and parents navigate the transition to young adulthood.
