Starting Point

Starting Point is a conversational environment where people can explore faith and experience community. Starting Point groups are a safe place for people with questions about faith, as well as those who want to learn about the Bible and Christianity. Groups meet for about 10 weeks and explore the grand story of the Bible together. There will be a Starting Point orientation on Sunday, January 17th. Sign up Sunday at the Community Groups table in the lobby or contact Chris Surratt at chris@crosspoint.tv for more information.

Community Groups Leadership Rally

We are ready to start a brand new semester with our Community Groups at Cross Point! To get ready for the kick-off on January 24th, there will be a leadership rally on January 17th at 6:00 PM at the Nashville campus. If you are currently leading a group or are planning to start a group, please mark your calendars and join us to hear our vision for Community Groups in 2010.

FX

FX COMING SOON 01-10-10....Mark It Down!

FX (Family eXperience) LIVE is coming to this campus on 01-10-10 at 9:40 and 11:10 AM (Between our adult worship services) the first Sunday of every month in the gym. FX is a brand new ministry that will take the place of KidStuff. We are taking the Cross Point Family Worship Service to the next level and making improvements that will blow you away! This program will continue to be designed for elementary aged kids and their entire families and will include drama, music, video and creative Bible story telling. We are pouring a ton of resources into this new monthly event and it will be an even more interactive, high-energy, worshipful, fun and creative service where kids bring their parents to worship.

We want to improve the ways we partner with all of our families in an effort to create an amazing event where kids and parents learn to commit to God, connect with one another and communicate the gospel - TOGETHER!

In the meantime, please contact Eve at eve@crosspoint.tv if you want to get involved or have any questions. We can’t wait to watch all that God has in store for our families in 2010. This ministry is a high priority and we know how important it is to share the story of Christ with our families and to provide the tools you need to discuss the word of God at home, together.
