Vision
That every child in North Austin would have the opportunity to experience the life changing reality of Jesus Christ through the ministry of Crossroads Kids.
Mission
PARTNERING with families to SHAPE kids to love God and love others.
Kids who love God and love others are kids who:
Come to Christ | 1.
Attend and Serve with Joy | 2.
Reflect Godly character | 3.
Extend Christ to others | 4.
1.Romans 10:9 "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
2.Hebrews 10:24-25"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
3. 1 Peter 1:14-15"As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;"
4. Matthew 28:19-20 "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Values
Safe : We expect both families and kids to feel a sense of security during the Sunday morning environment of Crossroads Kids because it is physically (volunteers are screened appropriately), emotionally (volunteers treat kids as they would want to be treated), and spiritually (kids feel comfortable asking questions) safe.
Fun : Kids are naturally motivated to learn through fun. So, we want Sunday morning to be a place where kids can genuinely say, “I had fun today!”
Relational : We don’t expect kids to be shaped by lectures on the Bible, but rather through relational small group leaders who care about the lives and happenings of kids.
Biblically Relevant : All people must see that God’s word has timeless application for their lives today, especially kids. So, we want Sunday morning to be a place where kids are taught from the Bible in a way that is relevant; in a way that they “get it.”
