To be “Better Together” we have to admit that we are “Worse Alone”… that we can’t do life by ourselves. Because really, admitting that we are worse off on our own means we are admitting that we are lacking something. So, often we choose isolation to protect ourselves. But maybe there’s a better way. Maybe we can be better together by doing something that’s simple, but also can be difficult at first. Once we do, we truly discover our design for relationships and a better way of doing life… together. Listen / watch to find out what we mean.
Often if we feel divided, isolated, disconnected… it’s because we have had a part in it. Division is the result of choosing ME over WE. Every time we choose to put ourselves over others… we separate ourselves from each other. And we become more and more isolated, and more and more miserable. BUT… imagine what this country would be like if we were devoted to each other more than our personal views and opinions? Imagine what your marriage would be like if you were devoted to each other more than being right or getting what YOU want? Work? Friendships? Parenting… It starts with us. Watch/listen to find out more.
Whether you consider yourself a Jesus-Follower or not… the way to become who you really want to be isn’t by getting what you want… it’s by giving yourself away. Focusing your life on others instead of yourself. You ,ay know this is true from experience, and scientific research on volunteering and career choice back it up! Some of the happiest people you know or have heard of are also some of the most selfless. Why? It’s how we are designed. We are designed to operate best when we do what’s best for others. At Crosscreek, we call it Outward Focus.
Who do you want to be? What do you want your life to be? Truth is, we all want a great life but most of us settle for good enough. But, settling for good enough is settling for mediocre. How do we break the routine and actually start thriving instead of just surviving? Watch/listen to discover the antidote to ‘good enough.’
If you did a Google search and typed in “How to Be…” what would the top auto-fill answer be? We’ll spoil it for you: Happy. That’s probably because the pursuit of happiness is behind almost every decision we make. And, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to be happy… At Crosscreek, we believe God wants us to be happy (John 10:10). The problem is, most of us don’t really understand what happiness is… Listen or watch to learn more about true, lasting happiness, in the middle of real life.
– A few simple songs (usually a guitar and maybe a violin and percussion) to sing along with or just listen to. – A short message (similar to our YouTube/podcast style messages) – Communion together (all are welcome at the table, but you can also skip this). – A final song and a simple prayer. – Afterwards, an optional snack while you meet some folks.
All in all, should last about an hour.
How many people will be there? 🤓
We are a small church, like a majority of churches in America! Weekly we see between 25 and 45 people gathering in the main room. It just depends. If you want to hide in the back, you still can!
What do you offer for kids? 👨‍👧‍👧
We have kids’ classrooms for nursery/pre-k and for elementary kids through grade 5. Our volunteers are background checked and there are always open doors and multiple volunteers. You can also keep your kids in the service with you. It’ll be an hour long. Email us with any specific kid-related questions! info@yourcrosscreek.com
Do I have to believe in Jesus to attend? 🙋🏽
No. We created this church in 2017 to be a place where faith in Jesus can be explored, and isn’t demanded, assumed or expected.
We welcome your questions, your doubts, and the process of faith. You don’t have to believe to belong.
And we won’t make any assumptions: we promise to explain briefly what’s happening and invite you to join in. You can also sit back and just check things out.
