KIDSCROSSING





Investing in our future

Welcome to Kids Crossing!

circlefacebook  circleemail

Kids Crossing is a dynamic ministry focused on children birth through sixth grade.  These years are a season of growth and development for your child. A season where your children will begin to take the faith they are learning now, and apply it to everyday life as young adults. 


Our Children's Ministry team is committed to help your kids make this crossing from childhood to young adulthood.  Our hope is that every child that walks through our door will laugh, make friends, and discover who Jesus is as we connect kids to Christ and community.


 

Who's Involved?

Every Sunday morning we provide a safe environment for kids from birth through fifth grade where they can learn about Jesus and connect with each other.


Our volunteers are the heartbeat of our ministry, and it’s an honor to serve with each and every one of them as they love on kids each week! Every volunteer who leads in the Kids Ministry has had a background check and is committed to making the ministry a safe, Biblically relevant, and fun environment for your kids.


Our elementary aged programming has a strong emphasis on Small Groups.  It is our hope that in these groups your children will hear from adults who love children, love the Lord and are passionate about helping your children know and understand their place in His story.


"Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court." 


Psalms 127:3-5


How should I prepare my kids?

Each Sunday, you will need to check your child into our Kids Ministry using the tablets in the hallway leading into Kids Crossing. Children will all use the same check-in system for both Nursery (birth through four years old) and Kids Crossing (4 Years through 6th Grade). 


On the tablet, type in your child’s first or last name. If there are multiple children in your family, they will all come up as one family unit. Please select any children that are checking in for that day, and select either Nursery or Kids Crossing. If there is a diaper bag that you will be leaving with the child, there is an option to print out an extra label for the bag.


After selecting all the children you are checking in, pressing “Done” will prompt it to print out the labels. There will be one name tag for each child, an additional one for a diaper bag (if selected), and a security tag for a parent/guardian. Each child’s name tag will have a 4 character security code that matches up with the parent’s tag (this will be verified by the volunteers at pickup for safety reasons), and any medical concerns or allergies that you have disclosed to us.


Thank you so much for helping us as we strive to make our Kids Ministry a safe environment for your kids to learn about God.

A Blessing To Say Over Your Children

24 “The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you;
26 the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”

Numbers 6:24-26

Bible Quizzing

Children's Bible Quizzing is one of the hidden treasures of our church! Our red level team is for 1st - 3rd graders. Our blue level team is 4th-6th graders. Each year from August until March, we study part of the Bible and memorize verses. Quizzers like to earn ribbons and medals AND the best part is that our kids are hiding God's word in their hearts!

Annual Fundraising Banquet

Every year we raise scholarship funds for church events like summer camps -  by hosting a themed Banquet.  It's a fun way to teach the kids how to serve others and those who attend are treated to a yummy meal, some fun entertainment, a photo opportunity, and the chance to connect with our younger worshippers!
