kids

One of our check-in team members will check your kids into age-appropriate classes. If you are new, please make your way to our kiosk that has the “I’m new” sign.

While any parent is welcome to join their child in class, we find that children generally adjust well and participate better after parents leave the classroom. Our teachers are trained to engage children in classroom activities quickly.

In the event that we need to contact you, we send you a text message. If you receive a message please exit the auditorium and go to your child’s classroom where a director will meet you to explain the situation. You may be contacted during the service if your child is injured, unable to be comforted for an extended length of time, soils himself badly or becomes ill. If possible, discipline problems will be handled in the classroom or by a director.

Every staff person has submitted an application form and had a background check. The Children's Director has also met with each applicant and checked their personal references.

In every classroom, our teachers are focused on presenting Biblical truths in ways that children can understand. In our preschool and elementary areas, we are using “The Gospel Project.” The Gospel Project is a weekly Bible study that helps kids dive deep into the big story of the Bible—God’s plan to rescue His people through His Son, Jesus Christ. This chronological study plan unites the big story and themes of Scripture while helping kids see how the whole Bible points to Jesus. 
Our 4th and 5th-grade students (aka tweens) are in a unique season where they are deciding what they believe and have faith questions that can’t be answered with simple fill-in-the-blank answers. Our specially chosen curriculum, “Be Bold!,” gives our tweens exactly what they need—validation of their faith questions and a place to connect as they explore those questions together.
All of our kids ministry curricula help children to experience a Bible truth, whether through interactive storytelling, skits, sensory stimulation, or crafts. We also have a music time every Sunday where our children have the opportunity to worship the Lord through song. And, of course, through games and ice-breakers, our children get to play and be active in our learning environments.

Please help us by communicating with us about your child. Make sure they are healthy and have everything they may need every Sunday (diaper bag, jacket, medicine, etc.). Let us know about things like potty-training, allergies, or any other applicable problems.

There are many ways to be involved as a parent in the CrossTown arena. We need teachers, substitute teachers, student leaders, worship leaders, and event volunteers. Impacting your lives is so exciting and we would love to have you join our team!
