No matter the cause of your loved one’s death, this is an opportunity to be around people who understand what you are feeling.
You will learn valuable information on facing life situations, recognize symptoms of normal emotions and those of being stuck, and you’ll gain renewed hope for the future. These sessions are open to any adult regardless of whether your experience is recent or not so recent. The group is led by individuals who have personally experienced grief due to a loved one’s death.
Each week includes a DVD teaching time followed by group discussion on topics relevant to your situation. You will also receive a workbook to keep you engaged throughout the week. Our hope is that you will find encouragement, help, and healing in grieving the death of your loved one.
This group will meet from February 5–April 29. If you are interested in joining or connecting with someone, please email Jean.

Men's | Band of Brothers
2024-04-10 06:00 - 07:00, 2024-04-17 06:00 - 07:00, 2024-04-24 06:00 - 07:00 | Crossroads Cave, 800 Scribner NW, Grand Rapids, MI, 49504, United States
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.
“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.”
– Ray Carmichael
Deb 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!

Men's | Bible Study Fellowship
2024-04-10 18:55 - 20:25, 2024-04-17 18:55 - 20:25, 2024-04-24 18:55 - 20:25 | Crossroads Kids Area, 800 Scribner Ave NW, Grand Rapids, MI, 49504, United States
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?
We 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.
For more information or if you have questions, please visit here.
Please note: We will not meet on October 25th due to Family Promise.

Men's | Fireside Gathering North
2024-04-12 18:30 - 20:30 | Fireside North, 8950 6 Mile Road, Rockford, 49341, United States
Join with a bunch of guys around the fire in the Rockford area on the 2nd Friday of the month! Fireside Gatherings are for any guys over the age of 18, who desire to grow in their faith in a laid back, and welcoming atmosphere where they are free to be themselves. Typically, we will spend the first little while catching up with friends and getting to know any newcomers while enjoying some good food. Then one of our Crossroads guys will share some of their story and give us some questions and ideas to kick around. Conversations will generally center around the lessons learned through our experiences of walking as Jesus followers in everyday life.
Real stories, real guys, real life…
We also believe Fireside gives us a chance to encourage and support any guys who are in the midst of hard stuff, so every gathering has a time for prayer and coming around guys who may be feeling it. If you are struggling, please come and find this to be a place with no judgement and a lot of concern for your heart.
What to Bring
Camp chair, beverage of choice (we typically have coffee, especially during the cold months). Food is provided! Dress appropriately! We hope you experience some authentic and meaningful community at Fireside. Some guys may choose to puff on something around the fire or consume an adult beverage and some guys don’t. We feel that is just fine. We simply ask everyone to be responsible with how much alcohol they consume and limit it to a couple. Feel free to be yourself with this.

Relationship struggles and sexual brokenness can make you feel ashamed, trapped, and alone. For over 20 years, Avenue has helped people restore their lives and relationships. Get into this private healing group for men and experience Biblically sound materials, a supportive environment, and both accountability and encouragement.
Don’t wait! Sexual struggles can be so difficult to talk about, but once you have shined the light on your struggle, the power it has over you will begin to weaken. You need a supportive community.

Family Meals
2024-04-14 - 2024-04-28
A Crossroads Family Meal, at its simplest, is a means to connect with others who call Crossroads “home”. Even more, it’s an opportunity to share with others in the goodness of God, to express dependence upon him as a community, and to celebrate all that He’s done with others in the family of God. 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 the table to join us for a meal!
We love that these meals have become a regular part of the rhythm of community at Crossroads.

To make this possible, we need an army of volunteers to step in and provide welcome & hospitality. There are a handful of ways you can do this…through making meals, spending time with families in the evening, staying overnight, setting up/tearing down and a handful of other ways! Please join us in loving these precious families during our next week. Contact Bethany if you have any questions or would like additional information.

Men's Retelling Your Story Retreat
2024-04-25 - 2024-04-28 | Red River Gorge, Kentucky
The heart of a man is hardwired to connect with God, seek adventure alongside a band of brothers, and partner with God in impacting the world. But too often we forsake this kind of life and just give ourselves to the daily grind. This weekend is about the recovery of your heart. It’s about plugging yourself into the larger story that God is writing in this world instead of the lesser narratives all around us. It’s about getting real with each other and with God.
At a story retreat we will explore the woods, enjoy the cabin, eat great food, and gather around the campfire. However, the real meat of the weekend will be an opportunity to explore our stories, and confront the ways in which the enemy has tried to keep us down. We go to the wilderness to explore the things that make our hearts come alive, but we also go to the wilderness to unearth and tend to the places in our story where we feel stuck so we can open ourselves up to receive all God has for us.
The weekend is a combination of fun in the wilderness, storytelling, times of reflection, and times of sharing together. The cabin will be comfortable, the wilderness beautiful, the meals delicious, and the campfires will burn into the night. Whether you consider yourself an “outdoorsman” or not, this will be a meaningful opportunity to refresh and reawaken your heart.
