Children's Ministry

Through our children's / youth Sunday School program we seek to provide a time and place where students receive the quality Biblical instruction and loving encouragement needed to help them learn about and love God, connect with others and be motivated and equipped to serve in Jesus’ name.

SUNDAY SCHOOL classes are held every Sunday morning from 9:30 - 10:30, September through June, for 2 year olds through adults (childcare is provided for those under 2.)    

KIDS OF THE KINGDOM is the children's choir at Church of the Cross. They meet every Wednesday from 5:00 - 6:00 pm. for rehearsal and recreation. This is open to any children in grades 1 - 5.

K.F.C. (KIDS FOR CHRIST)During the 10:45 service, our K-3^rd graders leave worship after the Children’s Message to explore different aspects of the Christian faith,… the whos, wheres, whats, whens, and whys of being a Christian, to help take away some of the confusions that become easy to understand for an adult.  Supported by music, dancing, crafts, mission outreach, movies, play time, and food… our little ones share the joy of expressing God’s love inside them.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT LIVE!   Check it out here! This program is offered for 10 weeks in the Fall and then again for 10 weeks in the Winter/Spring (usually during Lent, the weeks preceding Easter) and involves activities for children and youth, ages 2 - 12th grade.  Dinner will be available each week at a cost of $3 for adults and $1 for 10 and under.  Reservations are requested.

PIONEER CLUBS: Church of the Cross offers Pioneer Clubs for boys and girls ages 2 through 4th grade. We meet on Wednesday nights during the school semesters from 6:30 - 8:00. Click here to go to the Pioneer Clubs page. Click here to go to the Pioneer Clubs page. Please join us!

C.I.A. (CHRISTIANS IN ACTION) Our 5th & 6th graders meet on Wed. nights (6:30 -8:00) to develop a sense of who they are and who God is in their lives. They are defined by digging for answers in the Bible, serving in local missions, building community while defining self, overnight retreats, and fun activities. Boundaries are stretched to have our agents seek for answers themselves rather than having it all provided for them.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL: Every summer we provide this fun-filled, week long program for children (4 yrs. - 5th grade) to help them experience the value and joy of “Loving God, Connecting with others and Serving in Jesus’ name.”   This year's theme will be that of a High Seas Expedition as we explore the mighty love of God on July 5-9, 2010!
