SMALL GROUPS
One of the best ways to start living in authentic community with each other is through participating in one of our Small Groups. Small Groups is the place where you can connect with others here at CrossRoads. We believe those who participate in Small Groups not only feel a connection with others in their group, but also more of a connection with the church, with their faith and with God.
Small Groups consist of three to six couples or six to twelve individuals who meet in a host home for fellowship, Bible study, prayer, accountibility and care. The group's purpose is to care for one another and help each individual person move forward on his/her spiritual journey. We offer Small Groups for all "seasons of life."
The New Testament teaches us that the first Christians were formed into a group of twelve by Jesus (Matthew 4:18-22). The early church met in homes and shared their lives with each other (Acts 2:42-47). Small Groups are a place where participants experience authentic community and spiritual growth the way Jesus taught. It is an environment where God is active in the lives of its members and where people change.
Small Groups are available for individuals, couples, men only, women only, with kids, for support or recovery, for those young in their spiritual journey, for those who are continuing to mature their faith, and many others. New small groups start throughout the year.

WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDIES
A new Women's Bible Study will begin in January on Beth Moore's "Esther: It's Tough Being a Woman.
Going up against heavyweights bent on her destruction, Esther trusted God and landed a blow that saved her people. The Old Testament story of Esther is a profile in courage and contains many modern parallels for today's woman. Esther's destiny can be yours as you know more deeply the God who is in your corner.
This Bible study is for women of all ages and will be offered Monday evenings and Tuesday mornings. There will be a large group time where the Bible study will be presented. We will then work in small group tables to discuss the materials and share life together.
Monday night starting January 12th, 6:30-8:30 pm in the Ministry Center
Tuesday morning starting January 13th, 9-11 am in the Ministry Center
Childcare is available at both sessions.
If you are interested in participating in one of these Bible Studies, CLICK HERE to send an email to our Women's Bible Study leader, or call the church office at 480.722.0700.

WHAT IS MEN'S FRATERNITY?
Men's Fraternity was developed by Pastor Dr. Robert Lewis over a number of years as he strived to connect with and challenge the men of his church. More than just a rally or a Bible Study, Men's Fraternity provides men with an encouraging process that teaches them to live lives of authentic manhood as modeled by Jesus Christ and directed by the Word of God.
