Ministries that Serve Children and Youth
Welcome to CrossView’s Children's Ministry, where faith, friendship, and fun come together in a nurturing and safe environment! At CrossView, we believe every child is a precious gift, and we are dedicated to providing a supportive space where they can grow in their faith and make lasting friendships.
We offer a variety of programs tailored to different age groups. For our youngest members, the nursery is a warm and loving place where infants and toddlers are cared for with the utmost attention and safety. Our trained and compassionate caregivers ensure that your little ones are well taken care of allowing you to enjoy your time at church with peace of mind.
For children ages 2 through 6th grade, our Awana program provides an exciting opportunity to explore the Bible through engaging activities, games, and lessons. It's a wonderful way for kids to learn about God's love while forming meaningful connections with their peers.
Additionally, FUEL, our high school youth group offers a dynamic worship experience designed specifically for young hearts. Through interactive Bible stories and memorization, music, and activities, youth are encouraged to deepen their understanding of faith in a fun and relatable way.
Join us at our Church Children's Ministry, where your child will not only learn about the Bible but also make wonderful lasting friendships in a safe and caring community. We can't wait to welcome you and your family!

NURSERY
Our nursery ministry is open during the Worship Service for newborns through pre-school. Loving caregivers will provide attentive gentle care to your infants and toddlers. Pre-school leaders offer Bible story activities to help draw your children closer to Jesus.
CHILDREN’S CHURCH
Children’s Church (K through 5th grade) provides age-appropriate biblical instruction and activities during our Worship service. Children begin in the Adult Church Service with their parents and then are dismissed to their respective groups after the worship singing.
AWANA CLUBS
AWANA Club meetings are brimming with life-enriching experiences for young people. Leaders guide children (age 2-6th grade) through handbooks where clubbers learn that God is real, He loves them, and He expresses His love through Jesus Christ. They also learn how to apply Biblical Truths to their daily lives. The meetings are open to all children regardless of religious affiliation.
