SUMMARY:Elective | In a Secular World\, What's Good About the Gospel?
DESCRIPTION:Crossroads’ former Associate Pastor\, Dr. Neil Martin\, has lived and served for the past 10 years in one of the world’s most secular cities – Oxford. In a place where self-determination is the highest value\, and every student is only as good as the last grade they received\, you wouldn’t expect to find much excitement about the gospel. And yet\, Neil and his colleagues have never seen so much spiritual openness. \nCome and find out why surrendering to Jesus and admitting how much we need him makes just as much sense as it ever did\, even when the world changes. \nPlus: desserts from Grand Traverse Pie Company\, real English tea\, and an update on the ministry of B-Less to students in Oxford and beyond.

SUMMARY:Men's | Bible Study Fellowship

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.

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:Elective | In a Secular World\, Why Do We Need the Bible?
DESCRIPTION:Crossroads’ former Associate Pastor\, Dr Neil Martin\, has lived and served for the past 10 years in one of the world’s most secular cities – Oxford. The last thing you would think this constituency would be hungry for is the Bible. So why does a crowd of non-Christian students gather there every Monday night to hear and discuss passages from the gospels? And why is the church plant where Neil serves fuller than ever before with seekers? \nCome and find out how the arrival of secularism is creating opportunities for effective outreach and paths to deepen our confidence in the centrality and brilliance of God’s word. \nPlus: desserts from Grand Traverse Pie Company\, real English tea\, and an update on the ministry of B-Less to students in Oxford and beyond.

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.
