Centerpoint Students is about to kick off the year the right way! We cannot wait to connect with returning and new students! Below you will find all of the things happening, including retreats and events! Click the button below to download a 2024 -2025 calendar in PDF format as an additional resource. 

Sunday Mornings

CP Nursery (6 months to Pre-K) and CP Kids (K - 3rd Grade)

Sunday 9:45 - 11:15am

Visit our check-in desk in the lobby to register or sign in your family! You will receive a nametag and a coordinating parent sticker for easy (and safe) pick up time after the service! Every week, your child will experience their time with a consistent, dedicated teacher. We believe in the power of consistency, especially with our littlest members. Seeing a familiar, loving face each week helps your child to feel connected and loved. We take safety seriously around here! All of our leaders must complete a background check and a safety program prior to serving. Our security team is also present during every service, monitoring the building to keep kids safe. We can't wait to serve your kiddos and family!

Student Rally

This year we are changing the name of "Youth Group" to "Student Rally". During these rally's we will have open gym and check-in from 5:30-6:15, with dinner starting at 6:15, Worship & Prayer ending with an after party! 

Small Groups

This year we are trying out a new way of doing small groups! They will be split up by gender and grade and will take place at a time and location determined by the small group and okay'd by the parent. There will be lots more information following on this!   

Student Thanksgiving Meal

This year we are hosting an all student thanksgiving meal in collaboration with 6 other student ministries in the Kalamazoo area! This is going to be a blast and we hope to see hundreds of students coming together to share a meal and thank God for everything.We will be asking for students to bring a side dish to pass. 

CP FourFive

Our Sunday afternoon group for 4th and 5th graders meets about 2 times per month from 4:30-6pm at The Point Community Center or offsite for a time of fellowship, dinner, worship, lessons, discussion, prayer and more! Our schedule for the year, including our Spring retreat can be seen here!

We also share tools and information for parents & students to utilize during our off weeks for at home discipleship!

Ways to Get Involved/Needs

We are in need of parents who are willing to bring/prepare food for our student rally family dinners. One of the important parts of the student rally is what we're calling the "family meal". This is where we all sit down together, hear a student give a devotion, read scripture and pray over the food and then enjoy being together over a meal. If you are interested in helping with this, please contact myself or Victoria Aurand below.
