Holy Cross Family Ministries seeks to partner with parents in discipling their children to enjoy and express the love of God.

Sundays

Children’s Family Service

This fun and engaging Sunday morning gathering is the perfect place for families to attend church together. Each week we spend time worshiping, creatively exploring the Bible, & engaging as families in meaningful activities that connect faith to everyday life.

Pre-K Ministries

Pre-K Ministries (nursery) meets on Daniel Island and Sullivan’s Island (during Sunday services 9:00 AM-noon). Littles ages 4 months - 4 years gather to worship, hear a Bible story, and engage in fun activities designed to be continued at home with the whole family.

Holy Cross Music Academy

We are Holy Cross Music Academy - a team of musical performers and educators with a common purpose to spread our shared love of music and art. You see, we believe that music is, in and of itself, a gift from God, and that God calls us to use this gift to bring beauty and joy into the world. So we want to help anyone, young or old, learn rock music, classical music, country music, worship music, or whatever else you love, and will do everything in our power to help you succeed. This will include offering regular opportunities to perform within the community at large, and participate in songwriter nights, open mics and concerts for all genres.

Melynda Toth

Daniel Island Family Ministries Team Leader

Melynda has lived on Daniel Island for five years with her two sons, Kienan and CJ and their dogs Macio and Teddy. Her sons have roots at Holy Cross dating back to 2016 when they started at Kids Club at the ages of 2 and 3 and then enrolled at Holy Cross Island School. Both boys are currently enrolled at Daniel Island School but enjoy helping their mom with events and during Sunday service. Melynda works full-time in human resources and is passionate about helping others. It's no surprise she felt called to lead in the Holy Cross Ministry as a member of our Vestry and now in our Children's Ministry. Melynda and her sons are very active in their community. When they aren't planning an event or volunteering at one you can find them riding bikes, visiting parks, or just lounging at the pool. In her free time, Melynda enjoys connecting with her life group, reading, watching movies, trying new foods, and walking the trails. She is thankful for the opportunity to serve and to teach children about the love of God.
