NORTHPOINT KIDS | northpoint-baptist

On Sunday mornings during term time, we gather as a church whānau in the auditorium from 10am and then our children and leaders are blessed and head out to Northpoint Kids from about 10:30am-11:30am. We provide morning tea - Sprouts: Shapes crackers, a superwine biscuit and water, Forest: a biscuit, crackers and water, Sunday ReCharge: biscuit, chips and water. We do have some gluten free, dairy free, egg free biscuits for those who need them. If you have any allergy concerns, please talk with Jo Daken so we can ensure your child is safe.

PARENTS ROOM

Our Parents Room is located up the hallway on the left. This is a space where parents/caregivers can go with their young babies if they need. There are changing facilities, chairs and some toys. There are speakers too so you can still hear what’s happening in the auditorium.

SPROUTS

Sprouts is for our preschoolers, We have a play based curriculum, where children discover who Jesus is through conversation, play and stories and there is usually a craft or colouring offered. We meet in the lounge where there is lots of space to move and there is an outdoor area for play as well. Parents are welcome to stay with their children in this space.

THE FOREST

Forest is for primary aged children and is a bit more structured than Sprouts. We meet in the big hall by the kitchen. We do some praise to God, learn our memory verse for the term, play games, read God’s word and do an activity related to the topic. Usually Our small group time is called ‘whānau Groups’, this is where children join a group that has children of different ages in it. Just like our church whānau is multiple generations gathering together, we have created a space where our children can learn from each other too.

In Term 1 2026 we won’t be having whānau groups, but gathering as one big group.

SUNDAY RECHARGE

Sunday ReCharge is our space for Intermediate aged young people (Year 7 & 8). We meet in the room across from the kitchen It’s a space where the young people can go a little bit deeper in their discussion about the topic for the term, read God’s word, do a game and activity relating to our topic. Sunday ReCharge is alongside our Friday night Intermediate Youth Group called ReCharge, held here every Friday during term time from 6-8pm.
