Your Box will have:

- The Action Bible Christmas story
- Hot cocoa, popcorn, cards and more....a few things to get you started on some of the family activities
- Space for your family to bless others (that's not really IN the box, more of a result of your efforts!)
We just need you to register so we can pack it for you and have it ready for your pickup day. There are a few pickup days so hopefully you can find one that fits your schedule.
Pre-Registration required so we have enough boxes!
we want them to:
- Love Jesus. Love others.
- Know how to make wise choices.
- Know that the Bible is our source of Truth.
- Know that they can trust God, no matter what.

COVID Schedule
At this time, CrossTraining is on hold. We hope to resume midweek programs in 2021 but will remain flexible! Look for more information soon.
When Does CrossTraining Meet?
Thursday nights, 6:15-7:45pm (Cubbies, our 3-4yr olds, gets out at 7:30)
End of September-End of April
What do CrossTraining groups look like?
- 50% Bible time, Discussion and Prayer
- 50% Activity time
- 8-12 kids per group
- 3 SGLs (Small Group Leaders) per group
Why are small groups good for kids?
- Small groups create a safe place for kids
- Small group leaders have the time and ability to invest in the kids and build authentic relationships
- Leaders can lead with authentic faith, encouraging kids in their spiritual walk also
Will CrossTraining Groups support parents as they disciple their kids?
- YES! We only have them for 1.5 hours during the week. Parents are still the primary disciple-making force in a child's life.
- Resources will be provided on how to engage kids in conversation about what they are learning
- SGLs will be building relationships with parents as they drop off and pickup, or even other times as applicable, in order to support the family
- Parents may be invited to assist occasionally with a group or activity, further plugging them into this faith community
Kidz Events
Daddy Daughter Date
Each February we host a time for Dad and Daughter to go out together and enjoy uninterrupted conversation! Look for information in January.
Vacation Bible Clubs- -Backyard style
In 2020 we hosted our first ever Backyard Bible Clubs and it was a great success! Kids, parents, grandparents and teens all over WNY worshipped and learned about Jesus in their yards, living rooms, friends' houses, parks..... And we got to partner with Cornerstone Church on Grand Island. We look forward to more opportunities like this!
Fall Fest
Traditionally we have hosted a BIG fall party at the end of October. 2020 will look different but we look forward to a great time.
