From our Kids Minister
Hey Crosspoint Freeport!
If I haven’t had the chance to meet you, my name is Caroline Tomlin, and I am the new Kids Minister! I felt a strong calling into vocational ministry as a teenager and have served in various roles, in churches and non profits, primarily dealing with the Next Generation for a long time. In this season of ministry, I am a mommy minister with 4 children, 3 of which are a part of our kids ministry and 1 in the youth ministry. Our family has been at Crosspoint for about a year, but we lived in the Destin area around 15 years before moving to Freeport and Crosspoint. My husband serves in the prayer and worship ministry.
I have officially been on the staff team 6 weeks, and it is such a fun season to be in with our church in this community. On a weekly basis we are seeing growth not just in number but in people connecting people to Christ and their unique role in God’s mission. We are hearing testimonies of people reading the word with their families for the first time, kids sharing their reading plan with teachers, people getting baptized, taking next steps to serve or be in a small group, and we had 24 people attend Discover Crosspoint just this past Sunday!
We feel that God is stirring something in the city of Freeport. At this time, we have to be in the mindset to be 2 feet in as we grow together in Christ. While we may all be at different places in our journey and relationship with the Lord, we believe that there is an invisible bond between all of us that is the blood of Christ that binds us! His word continues to push us deeper and deeper into relationship with Him. As we grow in our faith we must not be fearful to take the next step. The next step could look different for everyone. Maybe your next step is praying out loud with someone at our prayer night so that you can feel comfortable praying for that co-worker. Maybe your next step is attending the next Discover Crosspoint on October 11th and just hearing about the heartbeat of our church. Maybe your next step is going public with your faith with baptism on October 18th. Maybe your next step is hopping on a serve team getting shoulder to shoulder with someone and slowly sharing time with other believers. Maybe your next step is just hopping on the reading plan, even if you missed a few weeks, and just starting somewhere.
Whatever your next step is, we hope that you will step out in faith knowing that He is with you, He is for you, and we are all on the journey!
