Becoming a Whole-Hearted Man

Let’s be honest. As men, we often become our own worst enemy, living in an over-sexualized culture. Feelings of guilt, shame, confusion and hiding are common. Tired of living that way? Join us for this 7-week video series by Michael Cusick, author of the best-selling book, “Surfing for God”, as he shows us how the pursuit of empty pleasure is really a search for our hearts deepest desire, which is God. Led by pastor Shay Roush and Crossing counselor John Tinnin.

Registration is $10 and covers dinner and childcare each week.

Discovery Class

The Discovery Class is a 6-week pastor led class that covers the core convictions of The Crossing. Topics covered include What We Believe About the Bible, the Gospel, Membership, Stewardship, God's Sovereignty, Creation, as well as how to Live Life in the Kingdom. This class is required if you would like to become a member of The Crossing. You will also have an opportunity to meet one-on-one with a pastor at the end of the class.

Find Your People

I (Kelley) don’t know about you, but I long to be known and to know others. I think we all want that. But if you're like me, this can be difficult. Finding and keeping meaningful friendships is hard and there are more barriers to this than ever before…some that we are choosing and some that are being dumped on us…hello pandemics. So, join Christina Richardson and Kelley Wampler this summer as we delve into what it takes to find and keep your people. Jennie Allen has written a fail proof book on the power and beauty of relationships but also the nuts and bolts of how they are grown and fostered. We’d love for you to join us!

When Strivings Cease

Ruth Chou Simons knows something about feeling measured by achievement, performance, and the approval of others. As a Taiwanese immigrant growing up between two cultures, Ruth was always on a mission to prove her worth, until she came to truly understand the one thing that changes everything: the extravagant, undeserved gift of grace from a merciful God. With personal stories, biblical insights, practical applications, and touches of her original artwork, she'll help guide us on a journey to find freedom from the never-ending quest for self-improvement. If you've ever struggled with measuring up, performance or seeking approval from others, this is the group for you!

Work That Makes A Difference

Working your Monday-Friday job can make a difference for God's purposes in this world, but to do so will require guidance from God and experienced, wise people. In this study, we will not only learn biblical insights from Dan Doriani's book Work that Makes a Difference, but we will also hear key insights from Crossing Men with proven work experience and character. This 3-week study will include interactive discussions and be a great way to connect with other men and connect your work life to your spiritual life. 

Registration is $10 and covers all three lunches and the book.
