Our Mission

Our heart is to see the women of Crossroads passionately pursue Jesus—growing deeper in relationship with Him through worship, community, and a shared mission to love and serve others. We seek to become more like Christ, encouraging one another in faith, and living out the call on our lives to make disciples—together.

Upcoming Events

These are open opportunities that you can join any time! They’re a great opportunity to meet and connect with more women at Crossroads. For all upcoming events, you can read our latest monthly email here.

Selah Table

“Food for the body, pause for the soul.” Are you longing for connection or simply craving a space to slow down? Selah Table is a one-evening event hosted in homes around Grand Rapids where women gather to share food and conversation with the hope of building purposeful connections. It’s a comfortable way to meet others—whether you’re new or have been at Crossroads for years.

SIGN UP

Retelling Retreats

Step away from the grind for a weekend to rest, reflect, and connect with God and other women from Crossroads. Through story‑sharing, teaching, and community, you’ll discover God’s work in your life, embrace His truth, and grow in life‑giving relationships—all in a meaningful time of restoration and fun.

Create & Connect

Unleash your creativity! Whether you’re a crafter, artist, writer, or simply looking to try something new, our “Create and Connect” sessions offer a welcoming space. Bring your current project and enjoy a time of fellowship and art with other women. No project? No problem! We’ll have supplies available for you to use. Meet on the 4th Monday of the month. If you have questions, email Bri.

Groups

In Women’s Ministry, groups are designed to foster intentional discipleship. They operate as seasonal sign‑ups with consistent meeting schedules, so space can be limited and registration is required. For details on sign‑up deadlines, see each group below.

Bible Study

Bible Studies are a time to grow and be equipped. They’re opportunities to dive deeper into God’s Word and follow Him more wholeheartedly in our everyday lives. Together, we explore, reflect, and encourage each other as we put what we’ve learned into practice.

Thriving Motherhood

Thriving Motherhood is a community of mothers seeking connection with one another and a deeper walk with the Lord. Our heart is to offer teaching, meaningful conversation, and prayer in what can be both a rewarding and challenging season of life. This group is for moms who are expecting or have children in kindergarten or younger.

More Information

Discipleship

We encourage every woman at Crossroads to regularly ask herself, “Who is discipling me?” and “Whom am I discipling?” Scripture shows us that discipleship happens in the context of community. To learn more about how discipleship is lived out in the women of Crossroads, click the button below.
