Kids Crossing

Kids Crossing will not be available during Stafford Crossing's initial regathering phase, which begins on July 12. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to enjoy the message together with their children in the worship center on Sundays until Kids Crossing regathers. You can access weekly video and print lessons online (email [email protected] for the password) until Kids Crossing regathers. In the meantime, get to know us here as we look forward to the time when we can meet in person for Kids Crossing!

At Kids Crossing, we want to help children trust and follow Jesus by partnering with parents. You'll find age-appropriate small groups led by consistent leaders who build a relationship with each child and encourage the kids to grow together as they open up the Bible each week. You'll also receive resources to continue the conversation at home.

When Kids Crossing regathers, you may register your child at Stafford Crossing on your first visit or complete the online registration. Information about each children's area, as well as parent resources, are listed below. If you have questions, please contact our Children's Ministry Director,  Lisa DeCourcey.

Your First Visit

If it’s your first time bringing your kids to Stafford Crossing, don’t worry…we’ve taken care of everything! Just head over to First Time Guest counter and we’ll get you plugged in to our check-in system.

During registration, we will ask for the following information: family member’s names, children’s birth dates and grades, address, phone number, and any special instructions for your child (allergies, medical conditions, special needs). This helps us make sure your kids are safe while you’re enjoying the service!

You’ll receive a unique parent identification tag that corresponds to your child’s tag. Once the registration has been completed, a host will show you and your child to their age-appropriate room.

Pre-Register Online & Save Time!
You can make your first visit a little easier by pre-registering your kids in advance. On Sunday, when you stop by the First Time Guest counter, your child's registration will be confirmed and you will be guided to the appropriate room.

Birth-23 Months

The Kids Crossing nursery is a loving and peaceful environment designed to care for and nurture children from birth through their toddler years. The nursery classes are separated into infants/crawlers and walkers/toddlers.

When packing a diaper bag for your child, please include the following items:
  • Two or three disposable diapers.  No cloth diapers, please.
  • Pacifier or other item, should your child need it for security.
  • A complete change of clothes for your child.
  • A bottle of milk, formula, juice or water.
  • Please label all personal items with your child's first and last name before arriving at your child's class so we can keep track of your child's items.

Ages 2-pre-K

We offer age-appropriate small groups led by consistent volunteers who desire to build a relationship with your child. We use The Gospel Project for Kids to bring to life the truths of the Bible for your preschooler each week through teaching and small group activities to fit various learning styles (active games, crafts, singing, discussion, etc.). We have groups for ages 2-3, 3-4, and 4-pre-K. Parents will receive a Journal Page each week to continue the conversation at home. 

Kindergarten-Grade 5

Elementary-age children experience God through worship, games, and interactive lessons that are relevant in their day-to-day lives and help apply God’s Word when navigating situations at school, home, and in their friendships.

On Sunday mornings children in grades K-5 engage in large group worship and teaching, as well as small group learning and connection. The sounds of energetic singing can be heard as children learn to worship God through music. Bible lessons are presented in an interactive, creative way so kids will be able to apply the truths they learn to real life. 

What to expect:

Safety


 Safety is one of our highest priorities. Every time you check your kids in you’ll receive a unique parent identification tag that corresponds to your child’s tag. Additionally, every Kids Crossing team member is screened and participates in a background check.

Creative Bible Teaching

Bible stories and spiritual truths will come to life through skits, activities, and discussions. It’s our goal that kids learn to love God’s Word and understand the value of applying it to their lives.

Building Relationships

When kids have a blast at church, they can’t wait to come back! You can be sure that your kids will have fun building relationships with the kids in their class and their teachers!
