Grow Ministry
Grow Registrations Now Open
Fall Grow Season registrations are now open. To view current grow season offerings or learn more about them, click the button below, or scroll down learn more about all of our Grow Ministries.
The Grow Ministry is here to help every family member and everyone else thrive in Christ. God designed the church to provide every Christian with:
Accountability: We want you to learn and follow God’s Word.
Friendship: We want you to find and enjoy authentic relationships.
Service: We want to encourage you to serve the body of Christ and beyond.
Each ministry within Grow has what we call “Grow Groups.” These groups are inspired by Jesus’ ministry to the twelve, so we can care for and guide each person individually. At Crossroads, we encourage everyone to “Church +1,” which means being committed to the weekly worship service, PLUS a Grow Group.
Below are our current Grow Ministries, where we hope you can find your own Grow Group.
Age-Based Ministries

NexGen is the Kids Ministry of Crossroads, encompassing children from birth-6th grade. At NexGen, we take seriously the opportunity to train our children in the truths of God's Word. We want the children of NexGen to grow in the knowledge and love of their Lord and Savior. We want them to see the church as a gift from God and lifelong home; and we want to point children back to their parents and families as their Biblical source of love, affirmation, and leadership.
Our Ministry Goals include:
Creating committed Christians who love God and live in a way that honors him.
Building strong family connections founded on the Biblical roles explained in God’s Word.
Encouraging a love for God’s church and a desire to actively participate in worship, fellowship, and service with God’s people.
Building a deep base of Bible knowledge and Scripture memory.
When does NexGen ministry happen?
We offer childcare for birth-6th grade at all 4 services. Thursday nights and the 9:20am service teach 1 lesson, while the 8am and 10:45am services teach another - offering options for families who participate in the church +1 initiative. We also host special events for NexGen families throughout the year. To find out if any special events are happening right now, visit our Event Signups listing by clicking here.

Plus Ministry exists to welcome children affected by disability, and the families who love them, into the life of the body of Christ. We believe every person is made in the image of God, with inherent value, dignity, and purpose — and that the church is incomplete without the unique gifts of those with special needs.
On Sundays, we offer a "buddy" program that pairs each child with a caring, capable volunteer who walks alongside them throughout Children's Ministry: Nexgen (Preschool–6th Grade, during our worship services) and Elevate (Jr. High and High School, Wednesday nights, during the school year). This one-on-one support means your child is seen, known, and cared for in these ministries.
We also host monthly gatherings where the whole family is invited to connect, grow, and simply be together — spaces built on honesty and belonging, where parents find friendship with others who truly understand, and where every family member experiences genuine community.
Whether you need support on Sunday mornings, connection with families who get it, or a church that will embrace your child exactly as they are — we'd love to meet you. Please reach out to Jason Packler, Plus Ministry Coordinator - jpackler@lifeatcrossroads.org

Elevate exists to help students in the SCV know Jesus and make Him known. We believe God has created us to glorify him by enjoying all that He is and all that He is for us. For this reason we pursue the Lord in order to know Him, love Him, and become like Him. We also believe that God has uniquely designed our students to display His glory to the world. It’s our desire to help equip students to understand and lean into their giftings that Jesus would be made much of in their lives.
Knowing Jesus and making Him known. This is the path to true joy in God!When does Elevate Student Ministry happen?
Both the Junior High group and High School group will meet every Wednesday from 7-9 pm. Jr. High will meet in the WMPR in the Worship Center while High School will meet in the TMPR in the Training Center.
Various Bible studies also meet on Sunday nights in homes during the school year.

Women’s Ministry understands the valuable role that women play in our lives and in our church. We desire to help women of all ages and life stages love and know God and His Word. Along with this, we seek to encourage and equip women to live this out daily.
We have both small and large group formats which focus on growing in our knowledge and application of God’s Word. These groups begin each fall and spring. We also have several fellowship events to help you meet other women in our church and to further equip you in your walk with Christ.
If you have a desire to walk closer with Christ and be encouraged and challenged by other women, we’d love to have you join us at our Women’s Ministry events at Crossroads.

Small Groups: Doing Life Together
-
And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. Acts 2:42
Small groups are central to our vision for spiritual growth. Our ministry is modeled after the early church, which gathered in homes to build one another up and share in the faith. During our time together, we focus on three core practices:
Develop Friendships … Bear one another's burdens and encourage one another and build one another up. (1 Thessalonians 5:11 & Galatians 6:2)
Practice Accountability as we Study Biblical Truth Together … All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16)
Pray Together as we Prepare to Serve God … And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy; giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. (Colossians 1:9-12)
Join a Group
Small groups meet weekly throughout the valley every Fall and Spring. Our groups consist of people from all ages and stages of life, and we believe you will be deeply encouraged by the community found within them.
