Baby/Child Dedication at Crossway is for any parents who want to be intentional about discipling their child to love and follow Jesus above all else. A dedication event of this nature serves as a reminder to us that raising the children God gave us is a matter of stewardship. Our children are not our own - they belong to God. This event helps remind us of that and gives parents the opportunity to publicly declare their desire to be intentional about raising their children to put God first in their lives. Frequently asked questions. For more information about this event, please contact Melissa Kosman.

Our next Baby/Child Dedication

will be Saturday, August 27 at our Downtown Campus from 9am - 11am.

Registration is required and will open in early July.

A humorous look at parenting, a serious look at discipline for parents of children ages 2-7. 

Anyone who plays a significant role in a child’s life is encouraged to attend this valuable Faith Path event at Crossway. 1-2-3 Magic is a national curriculum created by Thomas W. Phelan, Ph.D. In this 3-hour event, Dr. Phelan breaks down the task of parenting into three straightforward jobs:

Controlling Obnoxious Behavior: Learn an amazingly simple technique to get the kids to STOP doing what you don’t want them to do (whining, arguing, tantrums, sibling rivalry, etc).

Encouraging Good Behavior: Learn several effective methods to get your kids to START doing what you want them to do (picking up, eating, going to bed and staying there, chores, etc.)

Strengthening Your Relationships: Learn powerful techniques that will help reinforce the bond between you and your children.

Our next Positive Discipline

will be announced soon.

What do you say to an adolescent who’s getting ready to enter those turbulent teenage years? Dr. James Dobson, one of America’s leading family psychologists, knows how to speak directly and sincerely to today’s adolescents about the topics that trouble them most. Topics include avoiding feelings of inferiority, handling peer pressure, drug abuse, puberty, sexual development, romantic love, overcoming discouragement, sound decision-making and handling independence.

In this Faith Path, parents will attend a 2-hour session where they will be walked through the topics of Dr. Dobson’s book, and know what to expect and how to dialogue effectively with their pre-adolescent on these important topics. Then the parents will plan an overnight trip with their child (mother/daughter, father/son if possible) and listen to the book “Preparing for Adolescence” on the car-ride to their destination. This trip will allow parent and child to learn together about what is ahead developmentally for the adolescent and have intentional conversations that will open up lines of communication between parent and child for years to come. For more information about this event please contact Melissa Kosman.

Our next Preparing for Adolescence

will be announced soon.

Launch - Part 1

This class is designed for Juniors and Seniors in High School to prepare them for the next stage of their life.  Each student will be asked to invest within the group and the church, as we go through different important factors of life and faith. Students will learn more about themselves, God, the church, the Bible, tough questions, and how we move forward in life with Christ. For more information about this event please contact Anson Thibault.

Every May we will hold a banquet in order to send the seniors off to their next step in life. This will be a time to celebrate each senior, and their faith journey, as well as encourage them as they step forward in faith. Parents, friends and mentors can come and speak life into each student for their future journeys. For more information about this event please contact Anson Thibault.
