kids ministry
Our Children’s Ministry supports the vision of Waypoint Church by making a way for kids to belong so that they can believe in Jesus Christ for salvation, and then become the disciples God created them to be. With gospel centrality in all that we do, we point kids to Jesus, inviting them to follow Him.
