Adoption & Foster | Leading Kids in a Gender Confused World
2024-02-12 18:00 - 20:30 | Crossroads Upper Room, 800 Scribner Ave NW, Grand Rapids, MI, 49504, United States
As a foster, adoptive or bio parent walking the roads of Christian hospitality you have likely experienced feeling frozen in fear, gripped with anger and gutted with compassion about our current cultural climate when it comes to sexuality and gender with our youth.
How can we engage this space ourselves, let alone equip these children to discern the murky waters wisely when it seems like there is pressure to give complete affirmation of same-sex desires or gender transitioning?
Laurie Krieg, a ministry leader in the sexuality and gender space for ten years and mom of three young children herself, will come alongside us to help equip us to navigate this terrain with winsome grace and truth.

Family Meals
2024-04-14 - 2024-04-28 | MI
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.

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.
