Educating, supporting and caring for children and youth is important for the health and wellbeing of our children, our families, our communities, and our future. At Crossroads we believe we are called to lay a firm foundation of faith, ensuring they know that Jesus loves them, that they are created by God who makes no error, that they have a safe place to go with all questions and doubts and that God is with them through all circumstances in life.
We feel the best way to teach the next generation is by engaging with them and modeling what Christ teaches. In addition to specific children’s and youth ministries, we intentionally schedule time for children to interact with many of the adult and older youth groups in our church. This allows children to connect and grow in a diverse, multi-generational “family” environment.
Children and youth safety is very important to us. Our Safe Sanctuaries Policy requires two adults be present with children at all times and all volunteers pass a criminal background check.
