We value your child's safety!

• Please fill out a registration card on all of your children and their guests. This card contains vital information regarding the safety of your child (such as allergy information) while they are in our care. The card is available from any Shepherd in the Family Ministry area.

• Children must be in class or in the sanctuary with their parents during Sunday service times. Ushers will assist in checking the building and taking attendance during the service. This will assure that everyone is safe and accounted for.

• Youth (6th-12th grades) are invited to attend Youth group. If they choose to remain with their parents, they must remain in the sanctuary. Youth will be allowd to serve as instructional help or in the nursery only at the discretion of  the Youth and Family Ministry Pastor. We expect youth and adults alike to be adequately trained to help and teach. Many of the youth have provided invaluable service working with the younger children.

Ministry worker requirements for anyone having contact with children:

• Attendance at Cross of Christ for a minimum of 6 months.
• Personal references
• A background study (provided by Cross of Christ).

Sunday Schedule

• All Children will 9 AM Sunday Morning Worship with their family until after announcements at which time they will be dismissed to children's church downstairs.  For those who wish to pick up their children immediately following the service they can do so in the multipurpose room directly below the sanctuary.
