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
2025-04-30 18:55 - 20:25 | Crossroads Kids Area, 800 Scribner Ave NW, Grand Rapids, MI, 49504, United States
For centuries, people have attempted to unlock the mysteries of Revelation. In Revelation: The Hope, we will discover that Jesus Christ is central to every prophecy, promise, and passage. Revelation gives us hope of a world made new by the redemption and restoration that Jesus offers today and for eternity.
BSF Men’s groups offer straight talk and biblical truth built on the foundation of Jesus Christ. We meet for a small-group discussion of the lesson, hear from a teaching leader how the truths of Scripture can be applied to daily life and receive comprehensive notes on the Scripture passages you studied.
For more information or if you have questions, please visit Bible Study Fellowship’s website.

Men's | Captivity to Freedom
2025-04-30 19:00 - 20:30, 2025-05-07 19:00 - 20:30 | Crossroads Bible Church, 800 Scribner NW, Grand Rapids, 49504, United States
Captivity to Freedom is a community offered to men who feel captive to the slavery of sin. The truth is that many men are stuck in sexual bondage, stuck in slavery to porn and lustful thoughts. To you, Jesus says, “I have come to proclaim release to the Captives, and Freedom to the oppressed.” Join a small group of guys who are pursuing holiness and healing together.
This group is currently closed. Please reach out to Andy with any questions.
“Sixteen years ago I was shackled to every sinful desire I could imagine. My whole life I “knew” of Jesus, but that simple knowledge did nothing to free me from a life of slavery. Somewhere deep in my soul I desired freedom but I honestly had never even thought it was possible. My marriage was deteriorating, and I was a drunk that was driven by fear and lust.. Then God…, through the love and counsel of a brother in Christ, walked me through steps of repentance and forgiveness. Jesus destroyed the chains that held me captive. Then, and only then, through the love and unconditional acceptance of Jesus could I find true Freedom, as a Child of God.”
– Andy Antcliff, Men’s Group Leader

Men's Retelling Your Story Retreat
2025-05-01 - 2025-05-04 | 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.

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.
Please call or text Matt Guy (616-262-7758) prior to joining.

Adopt & Foster | Parent Appreciation Dinner
2025-05-09 18:00 - 20:00 | Crossroads Upper Room, 800 Scribner Ave NW, Grand Rapids, MI, 49504, United States
Join us for a delightful evening of good food, great company, and wonderful conversations.
Ryan and Kayla North are a trusted duo who have dedicated their lives to creating environments where children feel safe. They will share a message called “When Two Worlds Collide.” Most of the conflict in relationships occurs at the intersection of two people’s histories. Parenting is no different. Some of the toughest moments in parenting occur when our children’s history and beliefs collide with my history, motivations, and expectations.
Parents will gain a better understanding of the impact of their children’s histories and how compassion and empathy should be the appropriate responses.
While we love kids, this event is for adults only. Open to kinship, adoptive and foster parents (current + prospective).

Men's | Fireside Gathering North
2025-05-09 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.
Where to meet
