56ers
56ers is designed for kids in Grades 5 and 6. Each Sunday, we focus on helping them make their faith their own through small group discussions, worship, prayer, and games! We emphasize building relationships with both our leaders and peers as they prepare to transition to Grade 7. Come explore what God’s Word has to say about your questions!
The 56ers ministry is dedicated to partnering with families to encourage children to say yes to Jesus and to help them grow in understanding the Big God Story. We believe that children are not just the church of the future; they are the church today—our most valued resource! We are committed to creating an environment where they feel safe, known, and cared for, allowing them to grow in faith alongside us.

56ers @ Home: Everyday Resources
Online access to helpful take-home resources, our worship playlist, memory verses, reading challenges, and more.
Family Bible Reading Plan
Reading the Bible helps us to know God. It’s hard to follow God if we don’t know him. In the Bible, we learn to understand God’s character. We learn how he has acted in the past, and we are invited to be a part of His story and the work He is doing in our world today.
We want to encourage you to read together as a family! We have provided a few resources to get you started.
Serve Sunday
Since we believe children are the church today, Serve Sundays are a time when 56ers can offer their worship and service to our whole church body. There are various opportunities such as Hospitality team, serving in Early Childhood and many other roles.
The next Serve Sunday will be announced soon, where our 56ers will be equipped to serve in various roles in the church! Visit us again to register for Serve Sunday.
Family Events
Throughout the year, CrossRoads Kids' hosts events as an opportunity for you to get connected as families of 56ers and with our Leaders. Stay tuned for the next 56er family event!

Serving
CrossRoads’ vision “to give everyone in Central Alberta an opportunity to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and by following Him, compassionately impact our world” is what serving in children’s ministry is all about! Through serving, you have the opportunity to be a part of a team that can lead a child to a place where they understand Truth in the Big God Story to impact their world. Proverbs 22:6 says “...train up a child in the way s/he should go and when she/he is old she/he will not depart from it.” But, if we come week after week simply to check off that we are serving, we miss out on God’s intended ways for us to grow.
In saying yes to serving in children’s ministry, you are:
- Actively reaching Central Alberta with the gospel.
- Partnering with families by teaching and reinforcing the essentials of our faith to our children.
- Saying yes to the opportunity to let children preach the gospel to you in a fresh way by observing childlike faith, every time you serve.
