Sunday Mornings Family Opportunities Connect
These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Deuteronomy 6:6-7

Nursery and Elementary Family Handbook
From infancy to preschool, we provide a God-centered environment filled with love, laughter and learning. Our trained staff and volunteers care for our little friends during Sunday services, We consider our nursery ministry to be the beginning of your child’s spiritual journey and we take great joy in being a part of that.
Interested in serving in our nursery? Contact Amber Lahtinen for information.
This School Year programming, begins in September: 9:00-9:45 am Sunday School classes, 10:00-11:00 am Sanctuary Worship, Children's worship available during the sermon.
Our kids build great relationships with their Sunday School teachers and peers which are fostered by gathering based on the child’s school grade level (preK-5th grade). During small group time we encourage prayer request development, projects and in-depth discussions of our weekly lesson. During large group time we learn Bible stories, pray together and spend time completing Mission/Service work for our church and greater community.
We celebrate annual milestones based of grade level including communion, baptism, acolyting, Bibles and more.
We offer Children’s Worship for preschoolers through 5th grade students following the Children’s Time message at our 10:00 am Sunday morning service. Our children are led by incredible volunteers and focus on worship and Bible story topics.
We are SO excited for this fun, music ministry with our K-5th grade Cross Winds Kids! Kids Bells will perform 2 to 3 times per year with 3 rehearsals leading up to each performance. Rehearsals will be at 9:30 am and performances during the 10:00 am Sunday service!
Child involvement, musicals and special community events!
Summer Day Camp at church and sleep-away camps through Camp Minnesota. There is something for everyone! Camps are a great way to experience God! Kids will have lifetime memories through day, mini, week-long, and family camps.
