Ministries

Crievewood Kids helps kids follow Jesus and find friends and . We aim to be a safe and fun environment where kids are able to learn about Jesus in an age appropriate way and connect with their peers. We value biblically based teaching, sharing the gospel, authentic connection, and hands-on learning.

If you're new to Crievewood, please stop by our First-Time Guest Tent. You’ll be greeted by someone who will help you register your children on our secure Kids Check-In software. You’ll be handed a sticker with your child’s name, what class your child is in, and a unique alphanumeric code that corresponds to the number that appears on your parent sticker. Once you’ve checked your child into class, you can head into worship and we’ll take it from there! Your child will participate in fun activities, come together to sing songs to Jesus, and experience an interactive Bible lesson.

WE PARTNER WITH PARENTS

The primary place where live-changing discipleship happens is in the home. Parents are the primary role model of faith in each child's life. We know navigating the journey of faith is challenging and helping a child along this journey is not an easy task. To assist you along the journey our team has outlined the major points of emphasis that build upon one another as your child grows in his or her faith.

1. Parent Dedication
2. Prayer
3. Family Time
4. Life with Christ
5. Bible
6. Worship
7. Giving & Serving
8. Maturity
9. Lifelong Disciple



Training the Next Generation of Disciple-Makers 

In what is quickly becoming a post-Christian culture, Gen Alpha can easily fall into a "Sunday Christian" faith, or walk away from faith completely. As teens grow up, they find that their simple Sunday school answers don't hold up to the "real-world" circumstances they find themselves in. There must be a firmer grasp of the faith that continues to grow with them; one that is robust enough to overcome these challenges.

We strive to see every student grow into an intentionally maturing disciple of Jesus. On Sunday mornings, we spend an hour together  studying Scripture, learning our identity in Christ, and sharpening each another.

We have groups for 6th-8th grade and 9th-12th grade. 

SMALL GROUPS — Life is better in Circles!
 
As our church grows, we must also grow smaller at the same time. The larger a church becomes, the easier it is for people to feel like just a number. But God created us for relationship—and it’s in meaningful community with others that we begin to experience the full life He intends for us. Groups become spiritual families—places where people don’t just know your name, but care about what’s happening in your life and walk with you in your journey to become who God made you to be. 

We are a movement of ordinary people who are unleashed for mission across the streets, the states, and the seas.

Our missions strategy seeks to accomplish 4 things that we call Global Giants...

EVANGELISM

Sharing the good news of Jesus with boldness and love so that every person has a clear opportunity to respond to the gospel.

CHURCH PLANTING

The hope of the world is the local church. Everything changes in communities when a thriving church is present.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Rick Warren said, “Most of the problems in the world today can be traced to leadership — not the lack of it, but the wrong kind.” Every disciple-making movement in history has begun with an equipped disciple-making leader.

VULNERABLE PEOPLE

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.  - Psalm 34:18
