Christ Church is seeking to meet young adults where they are in life. 

CrossRoads is a ministry at Christ Church specifically for those age 18-35.  Crossroads began on October 2, 2001, and gathers each Tuesday night from 7:30 – 9:30 in the choir room for a time of worship, discussion and socializing with other young adults.  There are opportunities for outreach and recreation. We invite you to join us and be a part of this exciting new ministry! Groups are designed to help you grow in faith and community with other young adults.

Reaching a different generation 

Historically, the church in general has had a difficult time reaching young adults age 18-35. Polls indicate, however, that almost 80% of people in that demographic say that religion is important in their lives. Why then does there remain a marked and lasting contrast between the high level of interest in religion and the low level of participation of young adults in the local church?

 One answer is that the church must begin to understand the needs of a postmodern generation seeking religion that speaks to them in their language and style, religion that forms an honest connection between faith and their daily lives.

 CBS (Care, Bible and Service) groups have become an invaluable tool for building community within Christ Church. These groups meet once every other week to pray for one another, study scripture and implement service projects together.   

Because there is also a need for genuine community within the young adult population, small groups will be offered for those looking for that type of interaction. Groups meet at various times throughout the week and in various places. CBS groups will be formed based on where the individuals are in their lives - college students, single, married, married with children, divorced, etc. We’re always on the lookout for people willing to be leaders as well as members so please let us know if you feel called to lead.
