Crossroads Christian Church

CHILDRENS' MINISTRIESCarole Hester 463-1231" Plant seeds, sing songs." --Anon

Crossroads Christian Church takes seriously the words of Jesus "Let the children come to me, for such is the kingdom of heaven". We are committed to teach children the Word of God, planting it firmly in their hearts and minds so it will guide them throughout their lives. God has already written His word on their hearts and they have believed truth of God.

Our staff is committed to constant improvement. Each teacher has many years of experience in children's ministry, and they all exhibit the qualities of a Spirit-filled believer. We are in the process of doing background checks and fingerprinting on all of our workers just to reassure parents of their children's safety. Our facility is also surveyed by security officers.

Our classes are separated into age-appropriate groups. They are: Nursery, which is newborn to 2 years, Preschool and Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades, 3rd and 4th grades, and 9 to 12-year-olds. As our numbers increase, we will adjust to best meet the needs of our children.

Each week on Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon, children have Bible Stories, related games, crafts and healthy snacks. Parents are asked to sign their children in and pick them up promptly after church services. If you have children in any of these age groups, we would love to have them come and learn about Jesus with us!
