Women's | Ancient Paths Evening Study
2023-11-07 19:00 - 20:30, 2023-10-31 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Detroit) | Crossroads Bible Church, 800 Scribner NW, Grand Rapids, 49504, United States
Join us Tuesday evenings or Wednesday mornings for a 5-week study that comes from the very heart of Crossroads. The purpose of this study is to take an in-depth dive into the Biblical text in its original locations and cultures. The text of the Bible will literally come to life as we follow the ancient paths and learn to walk as Jesus walked. We can’t wait to share it with you and walk together. Childcare is not available for the evening study.
Our study is now full. If you have questions, please reach out to Judy Black.

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 September 25th through December 18th on Monday evenings from 7-8:30. If you are interested in joining or connecting with someone, please email Jean.

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.

Men's | Bible Study Fellowship
2023-11-01 18:55 - 20:25, 2023-10-18 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.

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!

Partnership Orientation Class is a two-week meeting designed to introduce you to our shared values as well as the story of our community. Partners are those in the Crossroads community who would like to be formally linked together around our three main values, Worship, Community, & Mission. We prefer the word partner because we are inspired by people in the New Testament who refer to one another in that way, (Phil 1:5, Ph. 1:6). Please email Jean if you have any questions.

Men's | Fireside Gathering South
2023-10-28 18:30 - 20:30 | Fireside South, 8289 Burlingame Ave, Byron Center, MI, United States
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.
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.
Where to go
The home of Ron Jansen at 8289 Burlingame Ave in Byron Center
