Growth Groups challenge us to grow in faith, take action, and develop deep, meaning relationships with God and others. Groups are gatherings of 5-20 people who meet in homes, businesses or at Crossroads throughout the week. A wide range of topics are offered each year to meet the needs and interests of the community.
Most groups are open throughout the semester. When you find a group that interests you, fill out the growth groups registration form found on this page. Read more about current and upcoming groups below.
Groups typically meet weekly for 60-90 minutes. They run from anywhere from 2-10 weeks at different times throughout the year. Groups meet during a variety of days of the week and times of the day, so you can find a group that fits your schedule. It’s a short-term commitment with a positive long-term life impact.
Absolutely! Groups are designed to get people connected to others in the community. Feel free to invite friends, co-workers, neighbors and family. Have your guests fill out the growth groups registration form to ensure enough materials.
Join us to sit back and relax with incredible films and to sit up and take notice with thoughtful discussion and clear action steps. Each week we will watch a film around an environmental topic and learn how we can make a difference. Feel free to come for one of the films or all. Snacks and dessert will be provided.
