Children
The spiritual leaders of tomorrow
Upper Cross Roads recognizes that our children of today will be the spiritual leaders of tomorrow. It is our goal to provide for them a solid biblical foundation of training. We emphasize the content of God’s Word while helping children to understand the practical applications of Scripture for their lives.
Nursery for little ones
The nursery program at Upper Cross Roads operates during all Sunday morning services. This includes Sunday school and our morning worship Service.
Sunday School
The Upper Cross Roads Children’s Sunday School Program meets from 9:45–10:45 am. It includes Preschool (ages 3–5) to 6th grade. Parents may drop off their children at 9:35 am.
Children’s Church
Children should attend the morning service with their parents until they are dismissed to attend the children’s church service. Our morning worship service begins at 11:00 am.
AWANA
AWANA is held on Sunday evenings from September to May, and is for children 3 years of age through 12th grade. Our AWANA groups memorize God’s Word with the help of loving teachers who encourage both children & teens to do all they can to hide God's Word in their hearts. New students are welcome to join us at any time during the AWANA year.
Before visiting for the first time, please contact the church office at (410) 557–6963 to verify that our AWANA clubs will be held the Sunday night you plan to visit.
AWANA RegistrationWhy youth ministries?
The Youth Group ministry of Upper Cross Roads Baptist Church exists ultimately for the purpose of honoring God through worship, evangelism, discipleship and service. The goal of this ministry is to encourage and exhort teens to have a living vibrant relationship with their Savior, Jesus Christ, as well as with their family and other fellow believers.
Our youth group ministry is not designed in any way to replace the ministry of parents in the home but rather to aid and strengthen the family unit through a focus on Biblical principles (Malachi 4:6). The primacy of God’s Word in addressing the problems teens face is the focus of our ministry. Sound Biblical teaching is presented at each youth meeting (2 Tim. 3:16–17). Personal discipleship is emphasized through meaningful discipleship relationships with the young people that attend (Titus 2:1–5, Heb. 3:12–13).
Visitors are warmly welcomed. Please contact us if you have any questions.
