SUMMARY:Family Meals
DESCRIPTION:Join a meal around the table with others from Crossroads during September 24th through October 8th! A Crossroads Family Meal\, at its simplest\, is a means to connect with others who call Crossroads “home”. There is so much importance in slowing down and joining with one another around the table to break bread and share stories of God’s provision and presence in our lives. The table is where relationships are deepened\, where family reconnects and where God’s faithfulness is proclaimed. We invite you to join us for a meal! \nWe love that these meals have become a regular part of the rhythm of community at Crossroads. Friends opening their homes to those in the same neighborhood or with the same heartbeat and passions; making connections and developing true friendship and family. It’s our way of making the larger Crossroads family smaller. These meals aren’t just for new people\, but for everyone. We hope it’s a way to bring the mission of God into the ordinary: where we live. If you have questions\, please email Jen. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Men's | Band of Brothers
DESCRIPTION:Band of Brothers is a small community of men who gather every Wednesday morning in the Cave to study the Bible and grow together. We pray\, share\, study and talk about how to live as men through our faith in Jesus. We meet every Wednesday morning at 6:00 am and wrap up by 7:00. We meet in person but also offer Zoom attendance if needed. Coffee and friendship are always offered. Band of Brothers is always open for new guys\, so if you want to connect right away\, make some new friends and get into God’s Word\, reach out to the leader via email and jump in. Please contact Ray Carmichael before joining us on a Wednesday morning. \n“My wife and I started attending Crossroads in the summer of 2017\, having moved to Grand Rapids from Chicago. We didn’t know anyone at church but knew God had led us there. I needed a group of men who I could trust\, enjoy and be honest with. I found it in Band of Brothers where I have grown in my faith\, encouraged by others and stretched in my understanding of Scripture. This group has become one of the most important parts of my personal and faith experiences.”\n– Ray Carmichael \nDeb and I started attending Crossroads in the fall of 2017. It wasn’t long before I attended some men’s events\, then began coming to Band of Brothers on Wednesday mornings. It makes a big church feel smaller. The encouragement and challenge I get from studying God’s Word together\, and from talking to\, and praying with the other guys in the group are necessities in my life. I’m grateful to have this group!\n– Dave Kruis \nTo learn more about On Men’s Ministry\, click here.

SUMMARY:Men's | Bible Study Fellowship
DESCRIPTION:Join with men from around West Michigan for weekly Bible study and community. In a world filled with all sorts of truth claims – even “find your own truth” – Jesus stands alone. He boldly proclaims Himself as the only source of freedom\, peace\, truth\, meaning\, sustenance\, security\, and everlasting life with God. Which leaves us asking: Are Jesus’s claims true? \nWe are excited to invite you to examine Jesus’s claims for your own life in John’s Gospel: The Truth. Join with men from around West Michigan for this in depth study of God’s Word. \nFor more information or if you have questions\, please visit here. \nPlease note: We will not meet on October 25th due to Family Promise. \nMore Information\nTo learn more about On Men’s Ministry\, click here.
