About CP Kids

At CP Kids, we believe the greatest impact happens when the church and families work together. That is why we partner with parents to help kids build a lasting faith both on Sundays and throughout the week. We serve children from birth through 6th grade, offering fun, safe, and age appropriate environments where they experience interactive, Bible based teaching. At the heart of it all are our small groups, where kids are known, loved, and led by trusted leaders who help them grow in their understanding of God’s Word and His love.

Nursery

Our Nursery is a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where even the youngest children can experience the love of God. Each room is led by caring volunteers who show God’s love through intentional play, comfort, and connection. As children grow, they are introduced to simple Bible based activities like songs, stories, crafts, and games that help them begin building a foundation of faith in a loving and supportive space.

Preschool

Preschoolers enjoy a safe and welcoming space where they can sing, dance, play, and discover the wonder of these three foundational truths: God made me, God loves me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever. At the heart of everything we do is small group time—where caring leaders help kids begin to build relationships and connect God’s truth to their everyday lives.

Elementary

Elementary kids are divided into three environments: Kindergarten and 1st Grade, 2nd–3rd Grade, and 4th–6th Grade. Each week begins with a high energy large group time filled with fun games, worship, and engaging Bible teaching. The heartbeat of CP Kids is small groups where kids build relationships, ask questions, and apply God’s Word in ways that stick with the help of a trusted leader.

Kindergarten Jump

September 21st / All Services

Your child’s not the only one making a jump. Let’s jump in together!

You’ll start the event with your child’s small group in the K–1 environment, then head to the Multipurpose Room for a short time of encouragement and practical tools for this new season. Snacks included, of course!

Attend during the service your child normally attends:
8:15 • 10:00 • 11:45

Plan for your child to stay for two services—Kindergarten Jump during one, Rally Room the other.
They’ll have a blast, and you’ll still be able to attend adult worship! Got other kids? No problem—they’re welcome to stay for two services too!

Footprints of Faith

September 28th / 10:00am

If your child has expressed an interest in becoming a Christian or taking a next step of faith by being baptized, it is an exciting time!

We have designed ‘Footprints of Faith’ as a baptism class specifically for you and your child to explore baptism together. Footprints of Faith is a fun, engaging class for parents and kids to hear about God’s free gift of salvation. We will dig into God’s Word to see what He says about baptism and resource parents as you lead your child to Christ.

We encourage your family to take care advantage of our CP Kids Rally Rooms. You can attend Footprints of Faith at 10:00 and Adult Worship at 8:15 or 11:45

Jason accepted Christ as a young child and was very blessed to have parents and grandparents who made it a priority that he learn about Jesus from an early age. Jason grew up in the Cincinnati area before moving to Jacksonville, Florida to attend Trinity Baptist College. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Church Ministries, Jason became the Children’s Pastor at Trinity Baptist Church. While in that role, he met his wife Taylor and they married in 2017. They have since added to their family their daughter Emmy, son EJ, and a gold lab named Sassy.

Jason served at Trinity Baptist Church in Jacksonville for ten years before relocating to Ohio to join the CP Kids team in 2024. As an avid Bengals and Reds fan, Jason is thrilled to be back home in Cincinnati. The Brown family enjoys frequenting local parks together as well as building legos. Jason is excited to help kids and families at Center Pointe learn about Jesus and grow in their faith.

Phil was born in Cleveland and raised in Cincinnati, so he is one of those individuals straddling the Browns and Bengals fandom. Phil received a Bachelor of Arts from Bowling Green State University and works in the video transfer business. He has been married to his wife Chris since 1997 and together they have two young adult daughters, Gabby and Ally. He and his family have been attending CPCC since 2003.

Phil’s favorite thing to do with his sweet family is to simply be together and laugh. They also like to see live music as a family. Phil also enjoys cooking and sports. His favorite part of his role as the CP Kid Admin is seeing God work through everyone involved at Center Pointe.

Kristin Sanders

CP Kids Volunteer Development Coordinator

[email protected]

Kristin Sanders is excited to join the CPCC staff as the CP Kids Volunteer Development Coordinator. She and her family became members of Center Pointe Church in early 2024 and soon began serving in CP Kids and leading a small group. With a background in elementary education from Mount Vernon Nazarene University, Kristin has taught English and Social Studies at a Christian school and led youth ministries with her husband, Josh, across Iowa, Ohio, and Indiana. In 2013, she became the KidMin Director at a church in Oxford, Ohio, and has also led KidMin seminars nationally for Group Publishing.

Kristin grew up with a strong faith in Jesus, but key moments in her life, like financial struggles in ministry and her daughter’s severe brain injury, challenged and deepened her understanding of faith. She learned that true faith isn’t about forcing God’s response but trusting Him with her whole life, even in hardship. Today, Kristin reflects on God’s constant goodness, faithfulness, and grace, knowing He is always present and worthy of her trust, no matter the circumstances.

Kristin and Josh, married in 1999, have four children and two Labradoodles. Over the years, they have focused on fostering a home full of love, laughter, and deep conversations, especially as they navigate the “launching” of their young adult children. Kristin is passionate about equipping others for ministry, drawing inspiration from Ephesians 4, where Paul speaks to the importance of leaders training the Body of Christ for service. She looks forward to growing the CP Kids ministry through steady prayer, encouragement, and support and is thrilled to be part of a team where God’s goodness and faithfulness are displayed in both joy and hardship.
