Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12
Kids Crossing is an exciting place where children in K- 5th Grade can love and Worship Jesus. Kids Crossing meets every Sunday morning starting at 10:30 am (except the first Sunday of the month which is Family Worship Sunday at ACCF) and Wednesday Evenings at 6:30.
Kids Crossing is a special kid friendly, safe environment where in a short amount of time many things will happen. Our focus every time we meet is centered on Jesus and what He means in each of our lives.
Our NUMBER 1 Rule in Kids Crossing is "Love Jesus and Have a good time!"
Some of our exciting weekly activities include: Fellowship Fun Time - As the children and adult helpers enter Kids Crossing each week there are opportunities for meeting new friends, interaction and bonding between kids and adults, and some just plain ol' fun. Some of the activities include: video games, indoor mini basketball hoops, table games and a lot of hugs and smiles, some fun lights and kid friendly music. Dynamic Fun time of Worship - Where the songs, words and hand and body motions help the children enter into the presence of our sweet Jesus. Game time - We all love to play. We have fun games that encourage team building, support, and a lot of smiles and laughter. Prayer - Throughout our Kids Crossing time we will seek the Father in prayer focusing on Him and our praises and requests. Time in the Word - As God prepares the children's hearts, we open God's Word for a time of teaching. Relevant and exciting themes, using drama, puppets, object lessons and testimonies on how God was, is, and will be in each of our lives. Partnering together - Kids Crossing is only a small part of your child's spiritual growth. Parents: Each week on Sunday Mornings we send home Partnering Together parent sheets (on green paper - GROWTH) so you can reinforce and build on what was taught at church that week. Kids Crossing is a great time for the kids and adult helpers alike. If God is calling you to love Jesus by pouring your life into children for an hour each week, we have a place for you.
Jesus said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me." Matthew 18:3-5
Come join the fun and grow with us as we "Walk in the Light of Jesus" at Kids Crossing
