We Are The Church

We believe the church isn’t a building—it’s people. When we understand how powerful that statement is, then we get to be a part of what God wants to do in the world he loves through US. In our new series, We Are the Church, let’s learn how we can change the world.

Confirmation

Begins Sunday, September 14

Confirmation has always been a lasting tradition to explore God’s Word and the importance of living a Christian life. A major focus for a young teenager is learning to think for oneself and develop their own identity. Confirmation sits at the cusp of this stage of life. The end goal of Confirmation is for students to learn, reflect, and affirm their faith, yet recognizing that following Jesus is a lifelong journey filled with these things. Confirmation is not the end, rather it is the beginning of this relationship with Jesus. Confirmation is meant to propel students into the next step of their faith journey.

At Crossview, we value confirmation as an opportunity for students in 7th-11th grade to go through an intentional two years of discipleship.

If interested please fill out the online form below.

If you have questions please contact Tyler Griffith or call the church office at 507.387.5606


Believer Baptism Class

Sunday, September 17 from 6:00-7:00pm

On Wednesday, September 17 we will be offering our believer baptism class at 6:00pm.

Believer baptism is for those who haven't been baptized and would like to make a profession of faith in Jesus to the church family. If you are interested in taking this significant step of faith and being baptized on Sunday, November 16 at our 9:00am or 10:30am service please contact the church office or sign up below.


Your Own Bible Class

Sunday, September 28 after each service

Here at Crossview we believe that parents are the BEST spiritual mentors of their children and we want to support you in this role! To help provide you with the resources you need, as well as invest in the faith journey of your child, we would like to present your 3rd-6th grader with their very own Bible.

We recognize that high school students (grades 9-12) may desire a Bible matching their maturity. Therefore, this is an opportunity for them to receive a new Bible too. The Word of God brings life, and we want our youth to have access to this life-transforming message as well.


We have set aside Sunday October 26th as a day to celebrate this spiritual journey and the importance of God’s Word. We do require that parents & students attend our Bible Class on Sunday, September 28th at 10:00am or 11:30 am, if you would like your student to receive a Bible on October 26. During that meeting, you will receive a Bible for your family/friends to sign and then return the Bible by Oct 19th for the staff to sign. 

If you have questions please contact the Tyler Giffith at 507.387.5606.

Small Groups

Join a group today and grow in your faith and community tomorrow.

God has designed each of us to connect with other followers of Jesus. We can help lift one another up when things get tough, celebrate with each other during good times, and grow in our faith together. Small groups are one of the best ways to do this! You don’t need to be an expert in the Bible to be part of a small group - whether you are new to faith or a long-time Jesus-follower, small groups are for you! These groups regularly meet in places like coffee shops, living rooms, and kitchens.

Finding a Small Group

We would love to help connect you with a Small Group. To join a group, click on the "Find a Group Here" button below. Need more help, then click on "Small Group Interest Form" and we'll help you find a group that works for you. You can always Contact Pastor Libby Englehorn.


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.

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!
