What do I wear?
We believe that everyone should be comfortable when they worship.  Our services are casual and you will find people dressed in many different ways.  Come wearing what you are most comfortable in. We love you for you!

What is worship like at Cross Community?
During the worship hour you will hear upbeat and inspiring music along with readings from the Bible, prayer, and an opportunity to give.

What happens when I arrive?
We have people to greet you at the door and connect you with others at the Connect Center in the foyer, show you around our building, and welcome you!

What about my kids?
Our church knows the importance of having activities and programs for children.  Nursery (0-2), Toddlers (2-4), and Children’s Ministry (K-5th Grade) is available on Sundays during our Worship Service at 11 a.m.  Our elementary age students have current and new series during C3Kidz Children's Church, which includes scripture memory, interactive videos, and fun activities!   Please visit our C3Kidz and C3Students pages for more information.  

The First Sunday of the Month is Family Worship
Our kids age Kindergarten – 5th Grade are in Worship Service at 11 a.m. with their parents — but we do have fun things for them to do!

Are my kids safe?
All of our volunteers and leaders have received the proper training required to keep your kids safe. 

CHECK IN PROCESS - We will have a host at the front doors to help guide you through the Check-In process.  There is always a manned station in the main church hallway with someone to assist you with checking in for the first time.  You will need the following information: children names, parent/legal guardians' names, home address, working phone number, and email address.   Each child will receive a printed individual sticker to wear as they join our children's ministries.   Then the parents will receive a Check Out sticker with a printed unique code for the check out process for your children. 

CHECK OUT PROCESS - We advise that a safe and authorized adult or legal guardian pick up your children at their classroom door.   The adult volunteer for each classroom will match the parent sticker with the sticker on the child before released.
