KIDS

Kindergarten thru 5th Grade

We believe the Bible is exciting, worship can be fun and loud, and good leaders always care.

Before kids head off to middle school, we want to make sure these three things stick…

  1. I need to make the wise choice.

  2. I can trust God no matter what.

  3. I should treat others the way I want to be treated.

The focus for xKidz City and Route 45 is our small group environment. We want kids to see how God's Word fits into their lives, learn how to talk to Him, and build friendships that will last. That's why it's important to make sure your child connects with the same friends and same leaders at the same hour—EVERY SUNDAY!

    12:30 pm-1:30 pm

    Are you ready to dedicate your child?

    We believe dedicating your child is a covenant between the parents/guardians and God. We ask that you approach this dedication as a sacred and serious commitment. As the parent/guardian of the child, you will need to read over the following vows:

    As parents, we recognize the honor and privilege it is to train our children and accept the spiritual responsibilities we have in our relationships, we commit to teaching our children to abide by Biblical boundaries in their relationships. We know that we set the example for church attendance, so we prioritize family church involvement. We will strive for purity in every aspect of our lives and prioritize integrity in our relationships. Lastly, we understand God's charge to us as parents, and we have faith that He has equipped us with the power to carry out these vows and raise our children well.

xKIDZ CITY (K – 3RD GRADE)

xKidz City is our small group environment for elementary children grades K-3rd. We use music, storytelling, and small groups so kids can build quality friendships with other kids, as they learn about God. Our teaching is based on 36 character virtues and 4 basic truths that build character,  faith in Jesus Christ, and helps prepare them for their teenage years.

ROUTE 45 (4TH AND 5TH GRADERS)

Route 45’s worship environment is designed to help preteens, 4th and 5th graders, experience and explore their faith.

CITY FRIENDS (SPECIFIC NEEDS)

City Friends exists to provide a gospel-centered, inclusive environment for individuals with specific needs. We not only want to serve these individuals but also partner with their families as they participate in the life of the church.

We want to help any child or student who faces unique challenges related to physical, mental, behavioral, medical or emotional needs. It is important to us that every child has the opportunity to hear the gospel and fully participate in the mission of Crossroads Church.

In most situations, we use a buddy system where an individual is matched with an adult who will provide one-on-one care in a classroom of peers. Buddies are provided during our 11am service.

What does a buddy do?

Buddies simply act as a helper. They help when necessary, to the degree necessary, according to the specific needs of each individual child. The primary goal of our buddies is to provide a warm, inviting, fun environment to all children as they learn about Jesus.

KIDS BAPTISM

Is your child interested in taking their next step through baptism? Each month we offer a special class for parents and kids called Splash Class, which allows parents to know if their child is ready to take their next step. Also, we believe in making baptism an unforgettable experience in a child's life, so we have created a special baptism event just for kids, called Kid's Baptism Celebration. This event happens 2 times per year (Fall and Spring) and we highly encourage you and your child to attend a Splash Class before signing up for this kids baptism event. 

PARENT FAQ’S

  • Parent/Child Dedication is a commitment for parents to raise their child in the ways of the Lord. During the Parent/Child Dedication, parents are provided the opportunity to make a public declaration to raise their children(ren) in a Christ-centered home and do all they can to lead their kids to know and believe the gospel. The church community is part of this celebration and is asked to commit to supporting and partnering with these parents in their calling. At Crossroads Church, we view dedication not as a statement of salvation for a child but rather a statement of how parents will raise their child(ren). While not a command of scripture, Parent/Child Dedication symbolizes a parent’s desire to obediently raise their child(ren) in the knowledge and instruction of the Lord.

    Parents are required to complete an online registration form and attend a dedication class in the Fall and Spring so they can fully understand and understand the important role they play in the dedication.
