The Cross Way Sunday School ministry an integral part of Cross Way. It is a cooperative effort undertaken between the church and the home, utilizing the efforts of both parents and the church body to effectively reach the children of our community with the message of Jesus Christ.
The AIM of our ministry is Christ-centered. We partner with parents to build a gospel centered spiritual foundation for their children’s life to lead them into a personal and dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ.
Our METHODOLOGY is experienced-based. Our ministry is not based on passive learning. Rather, it involves children in the active learning process through questioning, discovering, and evaluating. We also want to provide our children with opportunities to live out their faith by serving in local missions’ activities.
Our MATERIAL is Bible-based. We believe that the Word of God is the answer to the needs in our lives and is practical to today's child and adult. Our curriculum is designed to help children develop a love for God's Word, discover what the Bible says, and learn how to apply that truth to their lives.
Our TEACHERS are comprised of people who have trusted Christ as their personal Savior and desire to share the love of Jesus with our children.
What to Expect
As you and your child enter our Sunday School area, you will then enter into a world focused on teaching your child Biblical truths. Once children are signed in, they will enter into a positive experience of learning and fun planned just for them.
Your child's teacher will tell a Bible story in a clear and meaningful way that is easy for preschoolers to understand. They will learn basic biblical truths that they can apply to their preschool world. A Bible verse is always used to emphasize the theme and focus of the lesson. Pictures and songs are often used by the teacher to tell the story to help the Bible story come to life. On some Sundays, the children will create an art project to help reinforce the focus and theme of the lesson.
Your child will enjoy an action–packed service that incorporates a large group atmosphere with relationship building, team competition and small group application activities. During the large group portion, the children are taught an application–based Bible story that brings to life the main point for the day and led in singing songs and playing lesson–oriented games. All Kindergarten – 6th grade students start out together in large-group time. They are then dismissed to their individual classrooms (by grade) to discuss what they learned to reinforce the main points. All of this occurs in an action–packed hour that’s sure to have your kids excited to return the next week!
The Cross Way Teens program is designed to be a combination of both an in depth Bible Study and a mentoring program to help our next generation thrive as followers of Christ. This class will be focused on answering tough questions that teens face every day as they try to live out their faith in their schools.
Family Time Take-Home Page for Cross Way Kids and Tots
Each child will receive an age-appropriate activity page that includes the week's Bible story, Bible verse and a related activity. You can read the story and the Bible verse with your child to help them understand the lesson and the verse. Save the “Family Time Take-Home Page” and use it during the week. This interaction with your child can be very rewarding for both of you.
Teachers
Are you interested in making a difference in the life of a child? Our teachers, who teach every week or every other week, partner with families to help lay an eternal foundation built upon the truth of God’s Word. Please contact us if you would like to use your gifts to share the love of Jesus with our children. It would be a blessing to talk with you about our ministry needs and walk you through the application process and training.
