Family Matters to Us

We believe that family was created by God.

Nursery

We believe your kids are your legacy and we want to help you keep them safe while teaching them about the love that God has for them. All of our certified volunteers are thoroughly reviewed and background checked, and they will love and care for your kids as if they were their own.

PreSchool

We strive to help our preschoolers learn foundational Bible stories, begin praying, and understanding how big God’s love is for us. We do this through fun activities, partnering with parents, and creating a safe place for kids to feel loved.

Elementary

As kids begin to grow, so does their understanding of God. Our kinder through 5th-grade program allows the kids to start asking questions and getting to know God on a deeper level. We have them act out the stories, memorize Bible verses, and help them apply the lessons of the Bible to their own lives.

theCross Kids FAQs

What will my children learn?

The Cross Kids Team is intentional about telling God’s story in every classroom. The Nursery Team reads basic Bible storybooks to the babies while they are in the nursery. Our Early Childhood Team teaches the kids one Bible Story each month with fun songs, activities, and games that reinforce the Bible story. The Elementary Team teaches one Bible story each Sunday. They cover 104 Bible stories in chronological order in the span of two years with each story pointing to Jesus. 

How do I check in to theCross Kids?

When you arrive at our church, make sure to check in at our Cross Kids Check-in desk located in the Kids Lobby. One of our friendly team members will get all kids checked in, answer questions about our ministry, and give your family a gift for visiting for the first time. 

How does theCross Kids ensure my kids are safe and secure?

Our church is blessed to have a team of men and women that are dedicated to keep us safe on a Sunday morning. Our Safety team locks all doors to the Kids classrooms after service has started and patrol the Kid’s hallway during service to make sure no one wanders into the rooms. They also ensure that the only people going into the hallway before and after service are parents with kids in the classrooms or Kids ministry volunteers. The safety checks for parent tags and matches them to the children as they get picked up so that all children leave with designated parents/guardians. All volunteers go through a training and screening process before being allowed to serve on the kids or safety team. 

I have a child with special needs, is there anything I should know before I take my kids to theCross Kids?

Our Children’s Ministry Team strives to include all children in our ministry. We are always more than happy to accommodate the needs of children. At this moment we do not have a seperate room or space for children with special needs, but we work with individual families to provide buddies or special accomodations in the classroom (headphones, sensory items, etc.) based on their specific needs. Please feel free to reach out to our team in advance if you want more information!
