Seeds of Promise

Planting the promises of God in little kids’ hearts.

If you have an infant through five-year-old, we welcome your child to Seeds of Promise, our Tuesday morning children’s ministry.  Our ministry’s mission is to plant the promises of God in little kids’ hearts in a fun, engaging, and relevant way.  While you study God’s Word and connect with other women on Tuesday mornings, our hope is that your kids will grow in their faith in a caring and safe place, while having a blast at the same time!

Molly Cover, our Early Childhood Director, is now coordinating Seeds of Promise.  Molly will be present in the Early Childhood wing every Tuesday morning and available to answer any questions you may have.  Here are some of the goals that Molly and her team are excited to implement this fall:

1) Bible Lessons that Connect with Sunday Morning Teaching
This fall, 3-5 year olds will learn that God Loves Them, God Made Them, and that Jesus Want to be Their Friend Forever.  They will hear sequential stories from the Old and New Testament that will emphasize these themes, including Creation, Noah and the Ark, David and Goliath, and many others.  

Our one and two year-olds will learn one lesson per month, beginning with the story of Kind David (1 Samuel 13:1-16).  Each week, the children will experience a fun, age-appropriate Bible lesson, high-energy songs, and hands-on activities.  Our lessons are taken from the same curriculum used on Sunday mornings.

Each week, the children will experience a fun, age-appropriate Bible lesson, high-energy songs, and hands-on activities. Our lessons will also connect

2) Consistency with the Sunday Morning Routine
We will maintain a morning routine that is similar to what kids experience at Crossing Kids on Sundays and at Night Crossing on Wednesdays.  Ages 2’s through 5’s can expect free play, an engaging lesson and activites, songs, snacks, playground time or large group room time, and lots more.

3) Leadership in the Classroom
Each classroom will have a team leader (a mom or older, experienced adult) whom your child can be assured will be in his/her classroom each week.  The team leader will provide direction to the other sitters in the room, be a consistent presence in the classroom, and make sure the class stays on their routine.

4) Plenty of Experienced Sitters
We will strive to have more-than-enough experienced sitters in each classroom each week, so that you can be assured that your child is getting the proper care and attention he/she needs.

As always, our goal is safety in the classroom.  All of our sitters must go through an extensive, nation-wide background check, an application process, and attend our training session.  In addition, we will continue to enforce our registration system for dropping off and picking up children.  For more information about Crossing Kids’ safety policies and registration system, visit the Children page on our website.
