New message series Easter Sunday!

Life comes at us hard sometimes. Storms wreak havoc. Illness beats us down. Spiritual pressures mount. At times we stoop under the pressing load and just want to shout "enough already!" Where do you go when stress hits? What you need to know is that the pressures you face are nothing new - the friends and followers of Jesus experienced the same kinds of trials. And the same Jesus is alive and well and wanting to meet you in your time of need. Come hear some amazing stories of the power of Jesus to bring us through the worst life has to offer.

Webster defines a ritual as "a ceremonial act or action or an act or series of acts regularly repeated in a set precise manner."

Let's face reality: rituals, especially in church, can get pretty boring and meaningless. We can go on "auto-pilot" without the slightest idea (or concern) why we are doing what we are doing. Over the next two weeks at CrossWalk, we are going to celebrate two essential Christian rituals, communion and baptism, with a look back as to why these practices are so much more than routine. Join us and find new meaning in ancient rituals.

Help Samaritan's Purse continue to provide relief to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.

New message series starts Jan 31st

Too many marriages these days end up as sprints - they start out with a lot of energy and good intentions but don’t last. Find out what God (the One Who originally came up with the idea, incidentally) says about making your marriage go the distance. Whether you’re single, married, or hoping to marry, God has something to say that you need to hear!

January 31 - In Training

February 7 - Starting Block

February 14 - Second Wind

February 21 - Going the Distance
