Kids

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me."

Matthew 19:14

Have you ever looked at the face of a child when they experience something amazing for the first time? It's filled with awe, wonder, and excitement. You can’t help but catch that same awe when you witness it in a child. Unfortunately, we know there are tremendous weights and burdens that stifle that wonder and amazement in kids. Competing priorities, unresolved emotions, and worry are just a few of the current struggles facing our children today. And at the core of it all is sin.

Stones Crossing Kids helps every child experience wonder and excitement as they come to know their value and identity in Jesus Christ. Central to this is the gospel—the message that the God of the universe loves them, cares for them, and forgives them. We want the children of Stones to be amazed by Jesus Christ and all that He accomplished for us in His life, death, and resurrection. We want our kids to know that trusting in Jesus Christ will overcome every doubt, worry, and fear they may face. Through God’s Word, kids can see who Jesus truly is and why He is so amazing!

Bible Stories: Jonah

Bible Stories: Jonah is a unique event-based experience for both you (the parent!) and your elementary age student (1st-5th grades). You will study the Bible--together! Through large group teachings and intentional 1:1 small group time with just your elementary aged student, you'll get to model what it is to study the Word of God. We'll provide the environment, the large-group teaching, and the small-group tools so that you can be equipped to study the Bible with your own child.

The first week (beginning Wednesday, January 29 at 6:30 p.m.) will be a parent workshop that will be just for parents so that you can understand what we will be doing and be fully equipped for the next four weeks. Week 1 is just for parents and weeks 2-5 is for both parents and kids together. (You can read more info about the class when you register.) If you have questions, please feel free to email Family Pastor Gary DeBoard.

Frequently Asked Questions

More info on how we run Stones Crossing Kids on Sunday mornings.

What will my kids be learning?

Through large group story-telling and small group discussions, our aim is to help every child understand the gospel message. We do this by teaching through the Bible using The Gospel Project for Kids. The Gospel Project takes kids on a Christ-centered, chronological journey through Scripture where kids discover how the gospel unfolds from Genesis through Revelation. Through these lessons, kids learn biblical doctrine and appropriate application for their age level. We believe that when kids truly experience the gospel their hearts are transformed.

How will your team keep my kids safe?

Each week your family will be assigned a unique four-digit code when checking your children in. When you check in, you will be given printable stickers with your child’s name and family code. One sticker is placed on the child, one is placed on the classroom check-in sheet, and you receive a parent pick-up tag. Only those with the matching parent pick-up tag will be permitted to pick up that child. As another layer of protection, doors leading to classrooms are locked during each service. Volunteers in Stones Crossing Kids are required to submit and pass a thorough background check, encompassing both state and federal databases. Every volunteer is trained for emergency weather and evacuation situations.

Where should I go when I arrive?

When you arrive, our campus guides will make sure you and your kids are checked in and in the right classrooms. Your child will be assigned to a classroom based on age and/or grade level.

What if my kids need me during service?

If your child needs you during the service, your four-digit family code will appear on the screen in the auditorium. When your child’s number appears, please exit to the rear of the auditorium. A Stones Crossing Kids staff member or volunteer will inform you of your child’s need and take you back to their classroom.

Resources for Parents

We believe that discipling the next generation requires a partnership between the Church and parents. We want to help equip and prepare you for conversations and moments that will shape your child's life forever. Whether that looks like getting a great book in your hands, helping you connect with our kids ministry, or plugging you in as a volunteer to help serve in kids ministry, we want to help you disciple your child.
