Whether you consider yourself a Jesus-Follower or not… the way to become who you really want to be isn’t by getting what you want… it’s by giving yourself away. Focusing your life on others instead of yourself. You ,ay know this is true from experience, and scientific research on volunteering and career choice back it up! Some of the happiest people you know or have heard of are also some of the most selfless. Why? It’s how we are designed. We are designed to operate best when we do what’s best for others. At Crosscreek, we call it Outward Focus.
Who do you want to be? What do you want your life to be? Truth is, we all want a great life but most of us settle for good enough. But, settling for good enough is settling for mediocre. How do we break the routine and actually start thriving instead of just surviving? Watch/listen to discover the antidote to ‘good enough.’
If you did a Google search and typed in “How to Be…” what would the top auto-fill answer be? We’ll spoil it for you: Happy. That’s probably because the pursuit of happiness is behind almost every decision we make. And, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to be happy… At Crosscreek, we believe God wants us to be happy (John 10:10). The problem is, most of us don’t really understand what happiness is… Listen or watch to learn more about true, lasting happiness, in the middle of real life.
Often, our approach to ministry is that it’s someone else’s job… in fact, there’s 3 common approaches to seeing service or “ministry” (we won’t spoil what those are for you…). HOWEVER, a value that we hold as a church offers a fourth approach: “Shared Ministry” is people working together to help out. We believe it’s the best way to do ministry, and that it has the ability to transform individuals, families, churches, and the greater community. Listen / watch to find out more.

We all have fears… Things that could happen, might happen again, probably won’t happen. Most of which are things that we can’t really do anything about. We don’t know the future but for whatever reasons our minds have to go there anyway. And, when we do… our usual response to fear is: I MUST or I CAN’T. Fight or flight. But, good news! There’s another choice… Fear doesn’t have to control us or paralyze us. Listen or watch as we launch into our Becoming series with our first episode, diving right in: FAITH.
– A few simple songs (usually a guitar and maybe a violin and percussion) to sing along with or just listen to. – A short message (similar to our YouTube/podcast style messages) – Communion together (all are welcome at the table, but you can also skip this). – A final song and a simple prayer. – Afterwards, an optional snack while you meet some folks.
All in all, should last about an hour.
How many people will be there? 🤓
We are a small church, like a majority of churches in America! Weekly we see between 25 and 45 people gathering in the main room. It just depends. If you want to hide in the back, you still can!
What do you offer for kids? 👨👧👧
We have kids’ classrooms for nursery/pre-k and for elementary kids through grade 5. Our volunteers are background checked and there are always open doors and multiple volunteers. You can also keep your kids in the service with you. It’ll be an hour long. Email us with any specific kid-related questions! info@yourcrosscreek.com
Do I have to believe in Jesus to attend? 🙋🏽
No. We created this church in 2017 to be a place where faith in Jesus can be explored, and isn’t demanded, assumed or expected.
We welcome your questions, your doubts, and the process of faith. You don’t have to believe to belong.
And we won’t make any assumptions: we promise to explain briefly what’s happening and invite you to join in. You can also sit back and just check things out.
