Children's
Ministry
Our Goals for Children and
their Families
At Crossroads, we place a high value on our
ministry to children. We are intentional in our efforts to educate
and create a hunger in children for God. We have a team of children’s
ministry leaders that are passionate about their calling. Our mission
is two fold:
1. Share the love that we
have inside of us for Christ, and ignite the same hunger that we have
for Him in our children
2. Form partnerships that support and
encourage the families among whom God has placed the ultimate
responsibility of training, teaching, and disciplining their
children.
Specifically, our goals for
children are:
• Children will grow to know and love Jesus
as their Creator and Savior
• Children will know personally
how to praise, worship, pray and be a disciple
• Children
will have a good general working knowledge of God’s textbook for
life, the Bible
• Children will be armed with practical
ways to resist evil temptations that they encounter in everyday
life
• Children will develop relationships with caring,
mature Christian adults that will offer support and
encouragement
• Children will learn to recognize and
discern when God is working in their life
We recognize that families have
the primary responsibility of training and disciplining their
children. We value families in their efforts by:
• Equipping
and empowering families to share their faith with their
children
• Offering support and encouragement
• Serving
as an extended family
Together, our responsibility is to raise
children that know and love God intimately.
