CROSSROADS (via Zoom) | Sundays| 9:30AM
From Nobel Prize winners and government surveillance to rock and roll, no week is ever the same! The Crossroads class uses stories making headlines to make God’s work in our lives more apparent. Each week brings a different discussion topic designed to confront the news with Scripture and Hope so that we may identify the intersection of faith in our daily lives.

Our group will start the fall off with a study of Nabeel Qureshi’s “Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus”, to help us deepen our understanding of the Muslim faith and learn the kind of apologetics and evangelism that led Nabeel to faith in Christ. Join us as we explore Muslim culture, the most common Muslim objections to Christianity, and the core doctrines upon which Islam stands or falls.

Infants from newborns to 23 months are lovingly cared for each week by our childcare staff. Pagers are available to parents in case a little one gets upset while you are away and speakers can be found in the parlor and lobby area for parents who need to stay with their child but still wish to hear the worship service.
