Children
The Works
Welcome to The Works, Crossbridge’s children’s ministry. In The Works, we use the 252 Basics curriculum, which is based on Luke 2:52: “…and Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and favor with God and man”. No matter what age your child is, we have special areas designed just for them.
Lil’ Works
Lil’ Works is the area for the youngest members of Crossbridge. Children ages birth to three years will enjoy quality time every Sunday morning with our caring and loving volunteers. There are two – three volunteers scheduled each week and they assist the kids as they enjoy the different areas set up for them in Lil’ Works. Our program is filled with nurturing love and laughter, animated songs and storytelling and lots of play time. Even our youngest children are introduced to stories and projects that teach about Jesus. If you would like to more information or to volunteer in Lil’ Works please contact Jocelyn Villecco, Lil’ Works Coordinator.
Kiddieworks & Kidworks Large Group
Our fun and interactive curriculum is built around three Basic Truths every child should embrace according to what Jesus modeled in Luke 2:52.
• I need to make the wise choice.
• I can trust God no matter what.
• I should treat others the way I want to be treated.
Each month the children will learn a Core Virtue and Memory Verse. Each week they will be taught a key concept and Bible story that relates to the Core Virtue and Memory verse of the month. For weekly at-home activities that relate to each month’s Core Virtue & weekly key concepts, please visit our blog.
They will also learn that God is the one and only true God, yet He exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God is the Creator, so everything belongs to Him and is under His control. God is holy, so He is righteous, majestic, and loving. God is all knowing and purposeful, so He’s at work to bring about His will. No person, thing, or idea compares to God.
Each Sunday your child will experience praise and worship, skits and Bible story time as a large group. They will then break up into small groups for age appropriate games, crafts and one on one time with a small group mentor and fellowship with their peers.
Kiddieworks Small Group
Kiddieworks is our Pre-school area for three to five year olds who are not yet in Kindergarten. After participating in the large group Praise and Worship and Bible Story times, they break off into two small groups for age appropriate fun activities where they learn to put God’s love into action.
Kidworks Small Group
Our Kidworks small groups are separated into three smaller groups: Kindergarten and First grade, Second and Third grade, and Fourth and Fifth grade. Each small group has one – two small group mentors who will pray with your child and try to help them connect the day’s lesson to their everyday lives. The mentors will also lead them in fun crafts, games and activities that relate to the day’s key concept and Bible story.

Vacation Bible School
Every summer Crossbridge sponsors Vacation Bible School for its families and the children in the community. With its unique and exciting curriculum, VBS offers children a wonderful time singing praise songs, playing games, making crafts and watching skits and videos. We look forward each year to VBS as another way of sharing God’s love with our kids.
