SUMMER EVENTS FOR FAMILIES AT CROSSGATES

Summer can be a busy time for families. We want to make sure the entire family has opportunities to continue growing as Spirit-led followers, intentional friends, humble guides, and forces for good during the busy summer months. Here, you can find all our Family Ministry events for the summer in one place. Mark your calendars now and join us! You will find all the details and registration links updated on this page throughout the Summer.

Vacation Bible School

VBS is a week FULL of exciting worship services, intentional Bible study, fun craft moments, and more for completed Kindergarteners through 5th graders! Kids will be challenged  as they learn that everyone needs Jesus and how to speak the truth in love; but most importantly, they will discover that God’s truth never changes. Adventure awaits each day as kids explore tide pools, spot orcas, fly kites, and watch the mighty waves crash up against the immovable Breaker Rock! Sign up today!

1st-2nd Grade Day Camp

We have taken all of our favorite parts of our overnight camp and crammed them into the best day ever for our 1st-2nd graders! We will load onto school buses at the church at 7 AM on Monday, June 24, and ride out to Tanglewood Camp and Retreat Center for a day full of worshipping the Lord, team games, swimming in the lake, and FUN and will return to the church by 5 PM. 

NextGen Camp

Get ready for the ultimate summer experience at NextGen Camp, July 1-5! We will be taking over The Grove in Memphis, TN for a week filled with crazy recreation, Late Night themes, and outdoor activities. NextGen Camp is designed just for 6th-12th graders with powerful worship, engaging teaching, and meaningful small group moments. Don't miss out on this unforgettable camp experience - sign up now! 

3rd-5th Grade Kids Camp

3rd - 5th graders, we are going back to Tanglewood for an epic weekend of team competitions, studying God's Word on a deeper level, worshipping the Lord with your friends, swimming in the lake, and more! Friday night, parents/families will bring their kids out to Tanglewood by 7 PM and then stay for our first worship service that night! Families are invited back Sunday night at 6:30 PM for our final whole group session and will take their 3rd - 4th graders home. ONLY 5th graders get to stay a third night!
