Family Ministries

Family Ministries at Crosspoint Church includes children ages 0-18 (preschool – high school). At every age, it is our desire to partner with the home as we invest in the next generation. The mission for Family Ministries is consistent with our church’s overall mission, to make disciples of all people for God’s glory. We’ve taken this mission and tailored it to Family Ministries to express our desire to partner with families in making disciples of the next generation. We are convinced that scripture calls parents to be the primary discipler of their children, so we want to come alongside and help you in this incredible role that God has given you.

Child Safety

Background Checks – All Family Ministry volunteers are current covenant church members who have been carefully screened and trained, and have successfully passed a current background check.

Security Tags – Every time you check your child in, we will print them a name tag and give you a corresponding nametag that you will show your child’s teacher when you come to pick them up. This is how we can ensure we get the right children back to the right people. Each child must be picked up by an adult (18yrs or older) and show the correct corresponding nametag to their teacher.

Partnering with Families

What do we mean when we say that we want to partner with families? In Deuteronomy 6, God charged Moses to deliver a message to the Israelites. He charged them to be faithful to worship God alone, to love him with all their heart, soul, and might, and to teach their children to do the same. This charge was not given only to the priests or to Moses, but to each of the households of Israel. This idea is repeated clearly in Psalm 78, where the psalmist exhorts us to teach our children about who our God is in order that they would grow up to then teach their children.

The family is clearly a significant component in God’s strategy to see the message of the gospel reach the ends of the earth. This task has been given to you, and we want to encourage, resource, and support you in it. We do this through our T.I.R. strategy.

T.I.R. Strategy

Train – There are several training opportunities for parents throughout the year, through the preaching of the Scriptures during our corporate worship gatherings on Sunday mornings, Small Groups offered throughout the week, or our parent EQUIP classes that seek to encourage and equip you to shepherd your home.

Involve – We want to involve you in all we do. We would love to have you serve in our kids ministry and student ministry. We want to keep open lines of communication with you so will know what we are teaching your kids.

Resource –  Through regular communication, emails, linked articles, book recommendations, and equipping opportunities we want to supply you with resources that will help you fully embrace the opportunity God has given you to disciple the next generation right in your home.
