What to Expect
Uptown is the Crosswinds’ environment where children learn how to discover Christ’s love. The friendly Uptown teammates show children how they fit into God’s big story and can change their world by living out the character of Christ. Uptown strongly encourages family participation with at-home activities to help children express Godly values through everyday actions.
Weekends
Uptown’s 3 environments meet Sunday mornings at 9:00 and 11:00 am, and are designed for children 8 weeks through 5th grade. While adults are experiencing life-changing worship in the Ministry Center, children participate in kid-friendly worship through our super-fun environments. Inspiring worship leaders and story-tellers, loveable hosts, and small groups encourage friendship and application of the week’s lesson through activities and games.
(Children’s programming is not offered during Saturday evening services at Crosswinds.)
Family Experience
The first Sunday of each month (October – June) parents are invited to bring their Preschool-5th Grade children to the Chapel to FamX! FamX is a high-energy, super-fun environment where families can worship together and discover Christ’s love. This exciting 40 minute, 1x/month event starts at 10:15am, between Crosswinds’ Sunday morning services and is in the Chapel. Learning together in FamX is a great opportunity to find ways your family can partner with church to continue learning biblical truth through at-home practice. Parents/Guardians must be present, no drop-offs are allowed.

Meet Our Sponsored Children In Sierra Leone
Uptown encourages cheerful giving. We do not take offerings in our Large or Small group environments, rather we allow children to make financial donations at any time in the Joy Boxes located in the Uptown Hallway. All Joy Box offerings go to support our sponsor children, Moses and Aminata who live in Sierra Leone, West Africa.
Moses SesayMoses is 14 years old and lives with his father, mother, brothers and sisters. Moses likes to play soccer (or football, as they call it) with his best friend, John. His favorite subjects in school are math, reading, foreign language and religious education. Moses would like to be a pastor someday. He already teaches in the “Good News Club” at his church and sings in the choir. While attending a recent retreat, he was chosen to be the leader. He celebrates that Jesus is alive in his heart and hopes to come visit us someday!

Aminata ThullahAminata is 19 years old. She and her younger brother and sister live with their mother. Aminata walks 1 hour to go to school, is a good student and especially enjoys learning English there. Aminata is studying to be a nurse and looks forward to helping people. She asks we pray for her younger sister who is not well. They do not know what is wrong with her, and she is concerned because her father has already passed away. Aminata takes comfort because she has asked Jesus into her heart, and is learning to sings new songs of praise at church.
