Lil’ Kid's Nursery

The Lil’ Kid’s Nursery provides weekly childcare for Sunday School and the Worship Service for children from age 3 months to 3 ½ yrs old.  Children who are 3 months to walking age spend their mornings in the Lambs room, a crawler friendly environment.  Children who are from walking  to 2 years old spend their mornings in the  active toddler friendly Bear’s room.  Our 2 to 3 ½ year olds are in our preschool oriented Lion’s room.  We provide a loving caring environment in each of the rooms along with age appropriate Bible lessons, activities and songs for the Bears and Lions.

If you have questions or are interested in ministering to the children of Crossroads through this ministry, contact Renee Moore at renee@bryanmoore.net .

Kids’ Zone
Children ages 4 through 2nd grade are dismissed prior to the sermon for Bible lesson and relevant activity. During this time, the children enjoy music, a God-centered lesson, an age-appropriate break-out session and individual activity time. While in Kids’ Zone, children spend their time with the same teachers to build continuity and form a solid relationship between them and their teachers. In addition, other adult volunteers, as well as student volunteers, participate in this ministry to ensure all children are involved and feel loved during their time in Kids’ Zone.
