To partner with parents for the purpose of guiding children to a grace-filled, spirit-led, life-long relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. This includes:
1. Giving each child an understanding and awe of their all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present God by teaching His-story at work in the lives of His people and His continued work and presence in the world today.
2. Instilling in each child a unique sense of purpose as they discover the importance of their individuality and the work that God has prepared in advance for them to complete.
3. Empowering parents with the knowledge and skills to guide the spiritual development of their children through every day opportunities and conversations as taught in Deuteronomy 6: 4-9.
4. Engaging children in age-appropriate, Christ-centered worship.
5. Developing the habits of spiritual discipline such as Bible reading, journaling, scripture memory, and prayer.
6. Encouraging children to look for opportunities to serve Christ and others.
7. Involving children in the life of our church family through both age divided, and cross-generational opportunities for service and fellowship.
8. Equipping children with a Biblical world view that will enable them to make wise decisions affecting their future and the world around them.

Small groups are a vital part of church life, for in small groups, relationships are formed to help us in following God and reaching out to others. Most people who are in a small group stay more faithful God, have closer Christian friendships, and are better at sharing their faith with others.
Our small groups take different forms and formats, but most involve some type of meal or fellowship time, Bible study, prayer, and outreach or service. Some groups emphasize one aspect more than others. Most of these groups meet weekly on Sunday night, but others meet on Wednesday night or at other times. Some groups have a geographic grouping, some are more age-group specific, and some have a mix of ages and are "intergenerational."
Additionally, some of our ministries have a type of small group dynamic with a particular focus, such as fellowship groups, ladies' Bible study, or service types of groups (e.g., clothes closet), and these types of groups can be found in those ministry areas on the website.
Several of our new groups have begun as Story of Redemption studies and have continued to meet and have a strong outreach focus. The Story of Redemption is an eight week study designed to tell the overall story of the Bible, helping to lead a person to faith in Jesus Christ and a lived out life of service and mission. These study groups usually contain a mix of long time Christians and seekers who have been unchurched or are new to following Christ.

Here are our small groups and group leaders, with an interview of each leader about the group's focus and makeup:
The life and mission of the High Pointe Church of Christ is modeled after Jesus' life and mission: seeking the lost, serving the community and sharing the good news. The High Pointe Youth are not just the future of the church--they are the church--and are thus a vital part of this mission.
The High Pointe Youth Ministry seeks to help families and parents in the spiritual formation of Middle School and High School students so that they develop the spirit/heart/will of Jesus: loving God and their neighbors as themselves, resulting in a life of mission and service.
The High Pointe Youth are shaped spiritually and reach out in many ways, including:
Sunday morning (9 AM) and Wednesday night Bible classes and training (7 PM)
Weekly youth devotionals
Spiritual disciplines such as prayer, Scripture memorization and meditation, fasting
Sunday morning worship (10 AM)
Fellowship and fun activities
Community Service Projects/Mission McKinney
Retreats and camps
Social Networking
Daily lives of outreach and service
If you are looking for a place for you and your family to worship, serve, and be spiritually formed, and you have middle school or high school students, we hope that you will come and visit us. Check us out online, join the High Pointe Facebook Youth Group, worship with us, or have your kids come to one of our youth events.
