LIST OF CURRENT MINISTRIES
Sunday Morning Worship
Purpose: To reach the masses through spirit led worship in truth and to give people practical biblical tools they can apply to their life today. This is our foyer environment.
Community Group
Purpose: To provide a safe environment where people can explore faith and experience community. This is a 10 week group where people who do not really know each other begin to know each other better. This is our living room environment.
LifeGroups
Purpose: To provide an environment where people can grow complete in their relationship with Jesus as they walk through life with a few others. This is where people really experience the incredible benefits of living life in community, searching out and applying biblical principles, and growing in their relationship with Jesus. This is our kitchen environment.
At The Crossing, two simple phrases help us in the formation of our ministries. The first is "Keep it simple". We do not run programs just so we can say we have lots of programs. Bible studies are fantastic but if that is all that we do then we have missed the point of the Bible all together. So we try to keep it simple and allow enough freedom and time during the week to develop relationships with those who have not professed faith in Jesus yet. The second phrase is "stay within your giftedness". God has gifted each one of us in different ways. If we are to serve the Lord with passion and joy, we must do ministry in our area of giftedness.
One last word, ministry at The Crossing is all about building relationships. We believe this is what Jesus was passionate about therefore that is what we want to be passionate about.
Church Setup:
Worship & Children's Church:
Mens Breakfast
Purpose: To provide the context for leadership development both in our homes and in the church.
Youth
Purpose: We desire to see every teen who is graduating from High School to be able to stand on their faith with a solid Christian World View. In order to do this, we believe the church must come alongside the family not replace it in the discipling and mentoring of our teens. We are currently partnering in a community youth group that meets on Wednesday nights at the Impact Building in Gothenburg.
