Children
“But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them;
for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 19:14
Our purpose in our Children’s Ministry at Crossroads is to teach and model the authentic Christian life. We have the awesome responsibility and privilege before the Lord Jesus, along with parents, to teach and nurture each child in the grace and knowledge of the Lord. (Matt. 28:19-20; 2 Peter 3:18)
It is our hope and prayer that each child will:
- know the Bible is God’s revealed truth to man and to “hide His words in their hearts that they might not sin against God.” (Ps. 119:105; 2 Tim. 3:15)
- know they have a loving Heavenly Father who created them, loves them, redeemed them, and has a wonderfully unique plan for their lives. (John 3:16; Eph. 2:8-10)
- grow “in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man.” (Luke 2:52 – spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically)
- learn how to share the love of Jesus with others. (Luke 2:49).
- build close relationships with others in the body of Christ, both peers and adults. (1 Cor. 12:12-31; Heb. 10:25)
Sunday Service
We encourage children to stay with their families during worship at our Sunday morning Celebration Service. After worship, they are dismissed to attend their Sunday School classes. This allows them to actively participate in worship with their parents and other adults, as important members of the body of Christ!

I am wondering why there is no jr. high and high school ministry, my granddaughter does not want to sit in big church. I live in Ca and we have a jr and high school mix that she attends when with me.
Please help me to understand
Thank you,
Aloha Donna, we do have a youth ministry. It is called Crossover Youth and they are very active. You can learn more about them and see some things they share on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CrossoverYouthKauai/ as well as Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossoverkauai/
No, we don’t have a Sunday service specifically for our teens as most of them are busy helping in other ministries: Children’s Sunday School for example. Many of them are on our worship team, and do all kinds of other things to actually help facilitate the service.
