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.

SUMMARY:Elective | The Chronology of Christ
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we following Jesus’ footsteps during the passion week. When we look at the Bible versus just archeology and historical writings\, we can find some surprises that give us new insights into Jesus’ life\, particularly the week just before his crucifixion and resurrection. We don’t need Faith to know that Jesus is a real person\, or to know where where he lived\, preached\, died\, and rose from the dead; we need faith to believe He is who He says He is! \nSign Up Here

SUMMARY:Men's | Fireside Gathering South
DESCRIPTION:Join with a bunch of guys around the fire in Byron Center on the 4th Saturday of each 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. \nReal stories\, real guys\, real life… \nWe 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. \nWhat to Bring\nCamp 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. \nWhere to go\nThe home of Ron Jansen at 8289 Burlingame Ave in Byron Center \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.

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 | Intro to the Bible
DESCRIPTION:In this 3-week elective\, we will explore some essentials for understanding and interpreting the Bible (What is inspiration? Is the Bible authoritative? Why all the translations?)\, some pitfalls to avoid (What does it mean to take the Bible literally? Why does context matter?)\, and some hot topics we often avoid or wrestle with (Is the Bible pro-violence? Pro-slavery? Anti-women?). We will focus on understanding the overarching movements of the Bible as a key to making sense of where the whole Story is headed. \nSign Up Here
