Sunday, February 23

at 9:00am & 10:30am

In-Person & On Facebook & ChurchOnline.

Each year at Crossview, we start with a spiritual self-assessment—a chance to pause, reflect, and recognize how God is shaping us. Like looking in a mirror, this practice helps us celebrate how we are embracing Jesus’ grace and leadership while also revealing areas where we can grow. In this four-week series, we’ll explore key areas of spiritual growth, discovering how God has created us to flourish. We hope this journey encourages and equips us to step into the life God designed for us—and helps us answer the question, What was I made for?

Volunteer & Make a Difference

One of the best ways to get connected is by serving!

We value not just growing in our faith but doing something with our faith! Serving within the walls of this church and (even more importantly) going out into the community and the world is a vital part of what God created us to do. When we serve and volunteer we are being Christ followers by doing what He did. It is how we show the world what the love of God is like. We serve inside and outside of the church, Sundays and all week long.

Take a Next Step and “Go Deeper”

We want everyone who comes to Crossview to connect to Jesus Christ. We do that by taking steps on our spiritual journey in four different areas of our spiritual lives in worship, community, serving, and giving generously. Jesus wants to work through us to bring hope and healing to our neighbors, friends, and those on the margins. Wherever you are on your faith journey, there is always a next step and a way to "go deeper." Connecting to Jesus transforms us, our families, neighborhoods, city and world!
