New to Crosstown

Welcome to Crosstown Children's Ministry! We are here “To impact the lives of kids with the love and message of Jesus Christ in an atmosphere where kids feel a sense of belonging.” Crosstown Children's Ministry offers excellent spiritual programming from children ages Birth-6th grade on the weekends during our worship services (Saturdays at 5:30 PM, and Sundays at 8:30, 10, and 11:30 AM) and during the week on Wednesday nights (the R.I.D.E).

MidWeek Programming and Opportunities

The R.I.D.E - Wednesday nights from 6:30 - 8:00 PM (September - April) in the crosstown area. Here, children will be met with age specific programming, including Bible Study, playing, singing in the Choir, worshiping with a band, and more!

Preteen Events - Throughout the year, our community of preteens has Bible studies and special events directed at connecting them to God's Word and community, while preparing them to navigate through that often tough stretch of life that they are in.

What to know before you come on the Weekends...

As you arrive in our building, look for signage that reads Crosstown and proceed to one of our Welcome Centers. Check out our directions and layout page for directions to the church and a layout map of the Crosstown area.

When you first arrive, you can check your child in with these easy check-in procedures:

1) Go to a Crosstown Welcome Desk and fill out a Family Registration Form.

2) You will receive a name tag for your child - fill it out and place it on your child. For Early Childhood, please peel off your security number and keep it with you during service.

3) The greeter will direct/guide you to the appropriate room(s). Take the remaining forms with you to give each teacher where you drop off your children.

4) Following service and when picking up in the Early Childhood area, you must present your parent security number.

*After attending 3 times, your status will change from a visitor to a regular attender and then you can use the check-in kiosks.

Your child’s safety is of the utmost concern to us. That’s why we take such great care making sure our children’s area is as safe and secure as possible. Crosstown offers a safe and loving environment monitored 24/7 by video surveillance. All leaders have background checks and training.
