MISSION TRIPS

Mission trips create space for all of us to rally around people faithfully loving and serving like Jesus as they determine how to help and bring hope to their community. If you are interested in serving on a mission trip, check out these opportunities.

MISSIONARY PARTNERS

Spreading the gospel around the world helps fulfill the Great Commission. Therefore, we tithe 10% of our offerings to our mission team, who faithfully financially supports 26 missionary partners across the globe. Check out our mission walls at both campuses. You can also see our partners online.

IT’S MY SERVE

Jesus modeled it. We’re called to live it. The outflow of a saved life is hands that serve others. This 4-week series will remind us that Jesus has equipped and called each of us to serve in our church, in our community, and across the globe. If you are interested in serving at Crossroads, take a look at our serving opportunities. At both of our campuses, seek out the Yes Boards to fill out a card to let us know where you want to get in the game.

DISCIPLEMAKER TRAINING

We want to invite you to our next disciplemaker gathering on Sunday, August 25th from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in the Cafe area of the South campus. This is for anyone who is currently discipling someone, curious about discipling someone, or serving in any of our ministries. It will be a time of encouragement, vision casting, and practical training. We will break into two groups. There will be new content for those who were at the past trainings, and we will cover some of the basics for those interested in discipling someone. Hope to see you there!
