JOIN A GROUP
Following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey. Groups at Crossroads are where we follow Him together, building real relationships, growing deeper in faith, and caring for one another along the way.
Whether you're just starting to explore faith or have been walking with Jesus for years, groups are where you can ask honest questions, be known and encouraged, and take your next step in following Jesus – because at the end of the day, we're not just trying to attend church, we're trying to be the Church. And that happens best in groups, not just rows. Follow Jesus with others – join a group!

GROUPS FAQS
Most groups fall under one of three main categories: Small Groups, Care Groups, and Classes. Small groups tend to be long-term or ongoing while care groups and classes meet on a short-term basis (6-8 weeks, a semester long, etc.).
Crossroads groups don’t all meet at the church! Some do, of course, but some happen at a leader’s home or out in the community. When groups gather around the living room or share a meal at the dining room table, that’s where life is found!
Most groups meet at the same time 3-4 times per month. Consistency is a good basis for community!
While there’s no typical group meeting formula, you’ll find that our group leaders are passionate about group members connecting relationally while also growing spiritually. That means you’ll often find a balance of prayer and scripture study in balance with game nights, sharing meals, and simply sharing what’s going on in life. Some groups focus intently on a Bible study curriculum or topic while others orient around similar life experiences or interests.
People who have sought out community! Groups are for those who believe doing life with others is crucial for living out their faith. You won’t find perfect people in groups – often, you’ll find out that everyone has messes in their lives. So, expect to be in relationship with folks who both need and give encouragement!
So glad you asked! Leading a group at Crossroads requires being a member at Crossroads and involves a discernment process with Crossroads staff. Fill out the application to start the process.
