Experience Life, Growth, and Worship

Our mission is to teach children God's Word, reach them for Christ, and train them to serve Him.

Psalm 78:4-8

We will not hide them from their children;

we will tell the next generation

the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD,

his power, and the wonders he has done.

He decreed statutes for Jacob

and established the law in Israel,

which he commanded our forefathers

to teach their children,

so the next generation would know them,

even the children yet to be born,

and they in turn would tell their children.

Then they would put their trust in God

and would not forget his deeds

but would keep his commands.

They would not be like their forefathers —

a stubborn and rebellious generation,

whose hearts were not loyal to God,

whose spirits were not faithful to him.

 Crosswalk Children's Ministries values:

  • Truth
  • Excellence
  • Security
  • Creativity
  • Growth
  • Family

We recognize that parents are the God-ordained authority in children's lives to teach them His Word.  For that reason we exist to partner with parents by coming along side them in teaching the Bible to children and by equipping them to be the type of parents God desires for them to be.
