Caring for People
Support Groups
Our support groups offer a caring and welcoming space for individuals navigating some of life’s most challenging seasons, including grief and loss, divorce or separation, and various health struggles. In these groups, people can find understanding, encouragement, and hope while connecting with others who are walking a similar path. For those who prefer more personal support, care is also available through our One-to-One Ministry, where individuals can receive confidential, individualized care.
Caring for Everyday Needs
Practical Care
Individuals and families can receive practical care and support through a variety of serving teams within our Care Ministry. Support may include prayer, meals, prayer shawls, personal visits, and assistance with home repair, depending on each person’s needs.
Join Us in Serving
Serving Teams
Our serving teams offer practical care and support to individuals and families during times of need. Through opportunities such as prayer, meals, prayer shawls, visits, and home repair, our church comes alongside people in tangible and meaningful ways. These acts of care are simple expressions of love, reminding others that they are seen, supported, and not alone.
Prayer Ministry
The Prayer Ministry exists to support and encourage people in their prayerful dependence upon God.
When you submit a prayer request, it’s sent out to a large group of Prayer Ministry members who bring each request to God.
You do not have to be a member of The Crossing to receive prayer. All requests are treated with due privacy and discretion.
If you would like to join the Prayer Ministry, sign up below.

Chronically Courageous Group
This group meets quarterly on select Sundays to offer support to women with any chronic health condition. The goal of this ministry is to offer a biblically based community that helps people grow in living out gospel-driven courage & hope in the midst of chronic physical illness. Each meeting topic is stand-alone; we welcome women joining the group at any point.
GracefulWait
GracefulWait offers support to women who are struggling with infertility or have suffered the loss of a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth, or early infant death. This group is led by women who have also struggled with these painful realities, using Christ-centered material to promote discussion and strengthen your faith during this painful season of life.
The group meets on the 3rd Wednesday evening of each month, at Plume.
Serve at Loaves & Fishes
Join others from The Crossing and volunteer to serve a meal to Columbia’s homeless community at Loaves & Fishes!

A team leader plans the meal and provides all the food and items needed for the evening.
