The Crux Crusaders

Have you heard the latest? Our K-4th grade kids have come together as a community. The Crux Crusaders will be the new identity for this group of students. We are so excited to be bringing this group together and are empowered by the truth of Christ. There is such hope in the hearts and minds of these students. They are eager to go forward as a community centered around finding and seeking God. They have chosen Jeremiah 29:13 to be their guide on being a light in the lives of kids all over the world.

I have been with most of these kids for over half of their life. I have seen them bond with each other, pray together, worship together, and experience God together. I have been with some of them when they accepted Jesus into their hearts and I have witnessed some of them get baptized. The love and admiration I have for this group of kids is stronger than I ever thought possible. I started out doing an impromptu lesson with this age group about 3 years ago because their teacher had something come up last minute. The good news is they stuck with me. Since they are the oldest group of kids they have come in last when it came to receiving classrooms, materials and teachers because they were more flexible. We will not let that happen anymore! They are an amazing group of kids and they have so many dreams for what they want to become together as a part of the Crux community.
