Pastor’s Page
Jesus tells us to go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit; teaching them to observe all that he commands.

	Weekly Worship
	Crossway Community Church is a spiritually vibrant church. We hold weekly worship services on Sunday mornings at 9:30am. You can expect a blend of traditional hymns and contemporary songs (with teenaged musicians), biblical teaching and preaching, and communion is offered at each service. Most people wear casual attire to our services, so jeans, shorts and t-shirts are welcome. We have a number of families with young children, and we believe it is important to worship as families. It gets a little noisy at times, but Jesus liked having kids around and so do we!
	Serving the Community
	Outreach is part of the DNA of this church. What happens “outside” the church building is as important as our gathering together on Sundays. We view worship as a daily event, taking the love of Jesus Christ out into the world. Crossway Community Church regularly participates in community projects like: community cleanup days, prayer walks, street fairs, parades, and pig roasts. We also offer women’s bible studies on Thursday nights at 6:30pm. A men’s bible study is held on Thursdays at 7:00pm. These bible studies are open to all who are interested. Teen pizza night is held on Thursdays at 5:30 pm in Kirk Hall Please contact the church if you need any additional information.
	Team Based Ministry
	Crossway Community Church is a team based ministry. Four elders and a number of other leaders support the pastor by directly leading areas of ministry like Sunday school, bible studies, and local missions. This church has been blessed with all the spiritual gifts necessary for us to be a healthy and impactful church, and we encourage all to serve in their areas of spiritual giftedness. None of us are perfect, nor do we try to act like we are. We each have struggles and burdens in our life, that we can’t solve on out own. Realistically, there are problems (spiritually, emotionally and physically) that only Jesus Christ can heal. You’ll find that we are authentic in our relationships with each other and with Christ. This church is a “safe place” to share your burdens and prayerfully ask for God’s help.
	Spiritual Formation
	Spiritual formation is defined as the journey toward growth in relationship with Jesus Christ. The church, after all, is a gathering place for the “spiritual community” of Christ. When the church views itself like this, it naturally becomes a safe place for people to belong. As pastor, my desire is to provide the full gospel story of Jesus Christ. This includes sermons and ministries that are not always popular in today’s society. Jesus tells us to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind”; and, “Love your neighbor as yourself”. A great way to love God is to understand His guidance (the Bible) and how it can apply in today’s environment. As we gain this understanding, we can apply it by loving our neighbors (whoever they are) in a biblical context. We live in broken and hurting communities. There are many people and religions that offer solutions and “spiritual” answers. Jesus teaches us that He is the only path to God the Father. Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6, NIV). I encourage you to build your spiritual foundation in Jesus Christ and His authority. He is unchanging and everlasting!
