What’s Happening at Crossroads

NEW HERE?

We’re so glad you’ve chosen to come to Crossroads today! We want to thank you for visiting and would love to get to know you. Stop by and say hello at one of our Welcome Centers, our First Step area, or check out ecrossroads.info for more. We can’t wait to meet you!

NIGHT OF WORSHIP

We believe worshipping God is a big deal. We’re going to celebrate by having a Night of Worship on September 28th at 6:30 p.m. at our South campus. Come ready to worship the Lord. We believe there’s great value in our kids watching how we worship so we encourage you to bring your kids as there will not be childcare offered. The gathering will not be streamed so try to make it in person.

TAILGATING

Join us for an opportunity to connect before the Night of Worship. We will tailgate and have some fun from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in our South Campus parking lot (weather permitting). More details to follow.

FALL GROUPS LAUNCH

It’s not too late to sign up for a fall group that launches this week. God made people to live in community. One of our core values is “We become more like Jesus together.” Groups offer an engaging and supportive place to grow in your relationship with God and one another. Check out the newest group offerings and sign up here or by going to Next Steps and grabbing a booklet of our group offerings.

RE|ENGAGE GROUP

Take your marriage to the next level by learning more about God’s design for it and connecting with other couples. This fall we will be launching a re|engage group starting September 14th at our South campus. To learn more & sign up.

PRAYER ROOM

God calls us to pray about everything, but sometimes, it’s difficult to find the words on our own. We have prayer teams ready to help you bring anything to the Lord every week. You can come to the prayer room at the back of the auditorium after each gathering and we will pray with you and for you.
