...a way of life at Crossroads!
Everything we do falls into these 5 categories:
REACH-RELATE-RESCUE-RESTORE-RELEASE.
REACH
Connecting with God.
It’s a part of our DNA as a church to have our doors wide open and to be a place where people who are looking for something spiritual can find God. Sunday mornings are a big part of this reach idea as we seek to create an open, accepting, warm environment where you (or someone you know) can connect with God in a meaningful way.
RELATE
Connecting with others.
Relationships are a huge part of the way God meant for us to walk this journey of faith. Relate is about finding those relationships that help spur us on to grow closer to God. One of the easiest ways to find this here at Crossroads is in a lifegroup, where you will find real, down to earth community with others who are committed to supporting and growing together.
RESCUE
Showing compassion to those in desperate need.
Whether it’s here in Toledo, or across the world, rescue is about us taking on the responsibility to shoulder the weight of those who live in great need. It’s about feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, providing education to those without that chance, and helping addicts find freedom. It’s about seeing and then meeting the very real needs of very real people all around us.
RESTORE
Learning and applying your faith.
Restore is all about seeing people’s faith walk grow deeper and wider over a lifetime. In order to help you accomplish this, we are committed to providing learning opportunities that will help you find biblical knowledge and spiritual truth as you seek to grow in your spiritual life.
RELEASE
Using your gifts to serve.
Release is all about seeing people who are growing and maturing in their faith begin to dream about how God wants to use them to do new things, and then actually pursue that dream. It’s all about seeing people want more from God for his church and then actually making it happen.
