Dear Parents,
Parents don't forget, you are the number-one influence in students’ lives. We want to do our best at partnering with you! Here are some great ways to partner with us:
- Be a cheerleader for our ministry. That can be one of the best outreach tools out there. Your commitment to seeing your student involved in our ministry is also key.
- Communicate, communicate, communicate! If you like something, let us know! If you have a problem or concern let us know! If we don’t know, we can’t help or encourage.
- We want to help start spiritual conversations at home, so don’t be afraid to ask what went on at one of our gatherings or small groups. Dialogue with your student and generate spiritual discussion. Don’t let them off easy.
- Know the purpose and values of each event and help us communicate that to your student.
- Actively pray for our student ministry, the staff and the students.
- Join our leadership team for the right reasons. Don’t join if you just want to keep an eye on your son or daughter. Join because you love Jesus, our ministry and students.
- Make student ministries a priority because it has the potential to be a powerful impact on your student’s spiritual life. Plan ahead so conflicts don’t arise.
We will do our best to provide resources for you to actively participate in each of these opportunities for partnership! So enjoy the free resources!

EVENTS
Monthly we offer a special events in addition to a monthly Student Sunday during our 10:30am service.
ABOUT US
Our mission is to "make disciples who make disciples" as we Worship, Serve, & Connect. We do this by creating ministry environments where students are encouraged and equipped to pursue intimacy with God, community with fellow Christ-followers, and influence with others. We accomplish this through events, retreats, teaching sessions, fun activities, and small groups.
Here's what you can expect when you join us: fun, meaningful conversations about life, faith, and Jesus, and small group discussions for you, your friends, and family.
Here's an overview of our programs and resources:
Tuesday Nights: This is our primary gathering, held from 7:00-8:30 PM, September through May. We start the evening with fun and games in the gym, followed by a large group program, and then break into small groups.
Sunday School (for 6th grade only): You're welcome to continue joining CR Kids on Sunday mornings as you transition into our student ministry.
Student Sundays: Once a month, our students gather on a Sunday morning for fun, fellowship, and Bible study.
Reach Out Activities (Special Events): These activities encourage you to have fun and provide a place to invite your friends. There may be a cost associated with some events, but if finances are a concern, we can help cover the cost!
Retreats: In addition to our weekly programs, we offer weekend retreats, typically in the fall or spring.
Summer Missions: We want you to experience Christian service and apply your faith by meeting the needs of others through work/service trips. During the summer, we attend camps that provide these opportunities. Most camps last about five days, though some may be shorter.
Volunteer Leaders: The backbone of our ministry is our team of dedicated adult volunteers. These leaders invest their time, energy, and care into each student in our ministry. They are here to support and care about you. Parents are welcome and encouraged to join our team!
Grow On Your Own: We'll provide "Do-It-Yourself" resources for families and students to help students grow in their relationship with others and with Christ! (See https://crossroadsbic.com/students/grow-on-your-own )
