Kids Crossing

For infants through 5th graders

At Kids Crossing, we want to partner with you as you lead your child to trust and follow Jesus. On Sunday mornings, we offer two options for your family:

9:00 a.m.: we host a Family Room where wiggles and whispers are expected. You'll find individually packaged snacks and activities so that you can sit together with your entire family at your own table while participating in the service, which is a live feed from the Worship Center. We also offer excellent care for infants and toddlers under the age of 2.
10:30 a.m.: we offer full Kids Crossing, with age-appropriate groups for children from birth through 5th grade, led by consistent leaders who build a relationship with each child and encourage kids to grow together as they open up the Bible each week. You'll also receive resources to continue the conversation at home.

Throughout the year, we offer special opportunities outside of Sunday mornings where your family can learn, grow, and serve together.

If you have questions, please contact Lisa DeCourcey.

At 9:00 a.m., families with children of all ages are welcome to join in the Worship Center or the Family Room (Room 110). The Family Room offers four video screens for viewing the worship service no matter where you sit. Single use activities and prepackaged snacks are provided, and you are welcome to bring your own as well. The atmosphere is relaxed so both you and your child can enjoy the experience.

Child care for infants and toddlers under the age of 2 is also offered at 9:00 a.m.

Your First Visit

If it’s your first time bringing your kids to Stafford Crossing, just head to First Time Guest counter in the lobby and we’ll get you plugged in.

During registration, we will ask for the following information: family member’s names, children’s birth dates/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 the 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.

Infants and Toddlers

Kids Crossing for our youngest attenders is a loving and peaceful environment designed to care for and nurture infants/crawlers and walkers/toddlers.

When packing a diaper bag for your child, please include the following items:

Two or three disposable diapers.
Pacifier, if needed.
A complete change of clothes for your child.
A bottle/cup of milk, formula, juice or water.
Please label all personal items with your child's first and last name before arriving.

Preschool (Ages 2 - Pre-K)

We offer age-appropriate classes led by consistent volunteers who desire to build a relationship with your child. We use The Gospel Project for Preschoolers to bring to life the truths of the Bible each week through teaching and small group activities to fit various learning styles (active games, crafts, singing, discussion, etc.). Parents will receive materials each week to continue the conversation at home.

Kindergarten - Grade 5

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

On Sunday mornings children in grades K-5 engage in large group teaching, as well as small group learning and connection. Bible lessons are presented in an interactive, creative way so kids will be able to apply the truths they learn to real life. Parents will receive materials each week to continue the conversation at home.

What to expect

Safety

Creative Bible Teaching

Building Relationships

Safety is one of our highest priorities. Every time you check in your kids you’ll receive a unique parent identification tag that corresponds to your child’s tag. Additionally, every Kids Crossing team member is screened and volunteers age 18+ clear a background check.

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.

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 with their leaders!
