For many people the greatest “proof” against God’s existence is the behavior of Christians. In fact, the hypocrisy of Christians and the Church is one of the biggest problems of Christianity. The first step in dealing with the problem of hypocrisy is admitting it’s true. The second step is getting an accurate view of how to be a Christian and live out the Christian faith; this is achieved only by closely looking at its founder, Jesus and understanding the real and true message of Christianity. Because the truth is Jesus hates hypocrisy, but died for sinners. Listen in for more…
Covered in this week’s session of “So, what about…” Part 4: What about Evil & Suffering? Every belief system has to answer the question of evil and suffering. How do some of the major religious explain evil and suffering? We’ll cover those, and contrast Christianity’s answer. (Hint: it has to do with Jesus.)
Can the Bible be trusted? Why do Christians seem to pick and choose what to follow from it? Where did the Bible even come from? These questions and more covered in this week’s session of “So, what about…” Part 3: the Bible. Listen in or watch online, and see what you think. Maybe you’re ready to take Jon’s challenge at the end?
Everyone has a belief system… our lives is shaped by what we believe. And, having a belief system requires skepticism, and that’s a good thing. It means we are engaging your brain and not just accepting or ignoring everything that comes our way. Our challenge to you is to follow where the evidence leads… not where you hope it leads; engage your thinking not just your emotions. Can science and Christianity co-exist? Is the war between Science & Faith real or a misconception?

Our challenge to you is to follow where the evidence leads… not where you hope it leads; engage your thinking not just your emotions. Belief in the existence of God does not have to mean the abandonment of reason. In this first part of “So, what about…” we explore the question: Does God exist?
– 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.
