At Holy Cross we pride ourselves in being a "kid friendly" church. From kid participation in worship to our Sunday school classes we love kids and love teaching kids about Jesus! We guarantee that your child will have fun every time they come to Holy Cross and we want to partner with parents to strengthen your family
and our church family.
and our church family.
Milestones
Milestone 1: Baptism
Jesus tells us to "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," (Matt. 28:19). We believe when Jesus said this he meant all members of our families, infants included. Since infants can't answer for themselves, parents have the awesome responsibility to raise their children in the Word, teaching them about Christ and encouraging their walk in their faith.
Milestone 2: Sunday School
Our Sunday school program begins at the age of 2 with exciting lessons designed for your child's specific age group. Our teachers are trained and have a love for sharing the Word with children. Your child will look to you for example, if you are in Bible study, there's a better chance your child will continue as well.
Milestone 3: Confirmation
On Sundays during Worship we participate in the Lord's Supper. We believe that this is not an act to be taken lightly and needs instruction. When a child enters the 7th grade they begin a two year journey through our "Discipleship" class. This is an instructive class, using Luther's Small Catechism, that explains everything the Lutheran Church believes from baptism to communion and everything in between. After completion of this course our children are invited to participate in Communion. (Those that are younger may still receive a blessing during communion.)
