Getting Connected at Crossway

For these reasons, we are committed as a church to be sure that everyone experiences being included in our body. Here are multiple ways that we try to help people do that. We encourage you to take advantage of these things.

Each Sunday as we meeting for our worship service (10:00–11:45 am), we intentionally take time to welcome each other. This can seem like a small thing, yet we believe it is a very important time. We encourage people to make connections with people who might be outside of their normal circle of friends. Often it happens in the face-to-face connections before, during, and after our worship service. Sometimes this happens on Zoom before and after the worship service. Either way, we take seriously the opportunities these connections provide.

Roughly once a month, we eat a meal together right after our Sunday worship service (12:00–1:30 pm). People bring their own favorite foods to share, and we have a wonderful meal together and get to know and enjoy each other around a table with great food!

Roughly once a week, we send out emails with news and announcements for the church to keep you informed about upcoming church events and activities, and to help prepare for the worship service on Sunday morning. To sign up to receive these emails, please fill out this online form: http://tiny.cc/cmccontact

We encourage everyone to be reading the Bible on a regular basis. The several different Bible reading guides available on Resources page under Discipleship Resources. Maybe you would like to find a partner so you can encourage each other in your Bible reading.

We have a wonderful ministry among children, pre-school through 5th grade. We include kids in our worship services, and also provide a time specifically for kids in place of the sermon. See Crossway Kids for more information.

Cairn Time is our ministry for middle- schooler and high-schoolers. For more details, contact Karen, kswbonnell@gmail.com.]

Life Groups are small groups that meet at various times during the week, whether online or in person.

These groups are a combination of
    1) caring for each other
    2) studying the Bible together,
        usually as a follow up to the sermon each Sunday
   3) growing in cultural understand
   4) serving beyond ourselves.

Different groups are made up of different ages and life situations, and some are just men or just women or mixed.
