Purpose Statement: Small Groups exist to promote healthy, spiritual friendships that create unity and community. We do this by growing healthy friendships, studying the Bible and developing Biblical community in Small Groups. As our church grows larger, we want to continually grow smaller through our Small Group Ministry.
The driving passage for small groups is Hebrews 10:24-25 which says this:
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
Study Groups
Study group are designed to provide opporunity to learn more about the bible, faith and everything in between. The different groups will focus on topical things or specific books of the Bible. These studies might be based on a video curriculum, a study book or just a conversation about scripture and verse. Some studies will be located at the church and others will be in the hosts home. But all study groups are purposed in educating and edifying the faith of our Crossroads family as we strive to live out our faith in Christ.
Biblical Citizenship in Modern America
Now more than ever, our nation is in need of Biblical citizens who grasp the dynamic unity of citizens of the Kingdom of God and citizens of this great nation!
You will learn how the founders relied on their Christian moorings and Biblical worldview to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. You will also be treated to encouraging historical facts and inspirational true stories that are not taught in our educational institutions today. All in all, you will be edified and equipped to operationalize your faith and practice Biblical Citizenship in Modern America!
