A note from our pastors
As we close out 2025, our hearts are full of gratitude
for everything God has done in and through The Crossing Church this year. We’ve seen lives transformed, families strengthened, campuses thriving, and the presence of God moving across our region in ways that can only be described as His goodness on display.
Through every celebration, every challenge, and every step of faith, you, our Crossing Family, have shown what it looks like to be a people who love boldly, serve faithfully, and believe expectantly. Thank you for showing up, for giving sacrificially, for praying deeply, and for helping create a church where people encounter Jesus and discover the hope He offers.
And as we step into a brand-new year, we want to personally invite you to stay on this journey with us. God is writing a story in our church and across our region, and we believe 2026 will be a year of even greater outpouring, deeper unity, and new doors of opportunity. There is so much ahead, more people to reach, more communities to impact, and more lives to see changed in the name of Jesus.
We love you, we’re grateful for you, and we’re expectant for all God has in store as we move forward together.

Salvations & Baptisms
This year has truly been amazing and beyond anything we expected. Through the vision the Lord has given Pastor Greg, we’ve witnessed countless spontaneous baptisms after services, moments where people were moved so deeply by the presence of God that they stepped forward immediately. Along with baptisms at our quarterly events and powerful moments like Baptism in the Gulf with Won Christ One City, we’ve seen the Kingdom of God advance in unmistakable ways across our region. Even amidst the challenges of 2025, over 2,500 people trusted Christ, more than 1,500 people were baptized, and over 8,000 individuals were prayed for at our altars. From those responding online to those raising their hands in our services, we’ve seen story after story of lives transformed by the saving power of Jesus Christ. Baptisms broke out in the homes of our Life Group leaders, and joy overflowed at our Life Group Beach Bash as people boldly and publicly declared their faith. What God is doing among us is nothing short of miraculous, and we are deeply humbled to be part of it.
Life Groups: Growing Better Together
We gather BIG, we gather SMALL, what matters is that we GATHER.
We believe the best of what God has for our lives is discovered as we do life together. Crossing Groups are where we encourage and strengthen each other as we walk through the seasons of life in group settings on and off campus.
We “Gather Small” through Small Groups! These are our group gatherings that take place offsite in homes, coffee shops, really anywhere! Take a moment to explore our group finder and find a group near you!
The Crossing Sisterhood
Sisterhood is more than a gathering; it’s the collective story of women at The Crossing Church, from middle school through every season of adulthood. United by the vision and mission of our church, Sisterhood exists to help every woman belong, believe, and become all that God has designed her to be. Through weekly Bible Studies at every campus, our annual Becoming Conference, and the Christmas Coffee, we’ve seen God move in powerful ways, bringing salvations, life change, and deep, life-giving relationships.
Re-Engage
Re | engage examines God’s design for marriage and applies principles from the Bible to guide and move couples towards improved communication, oneness, and love. Using group teaching, small group discussions, and testimonies of grace, re | engage can benefit any marriage.
CROSSING KIDS
Know Jesus, Grow With Jesus, & Go For Jesus
Crossing Kids exists to build strong spiritual foundations in a fun-loving environment. We understand one of the first building blocks to a relationship with Jesus Christ is trust. Our goal is to create an environment full of love and trust so your children are more open to receive Christ as their Lord and Savior.
CROSSING YOUTH
Engage with God, Extend God’s Love, Encounter God’s Presence and Expect to Do Greater Things.
We see a generation of youth that are poised to be the church of today – and tomorrow. We believe that as youth learn who they are in Christ, and grow into fully devoted followers of Him, they will become catalysts and emerge into a movement that will change history. This movement will have a great impact on their schools, their homes, and their city.
YOUNG ADULTS
Belong, Believe, Become.
We are here to empower Young Adults through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Create a community walking in maturity through unity in faith, as we extend the kingdom of God to every place and person in our lives through a lifestyle modeled after Jesus.
Across the Street
& Around the World
Local Outreach
Through our ongoing partnership with Metropolitan Ministries, we’ve witnessed a powerful testament to God’s promised provision and faithfulness to His people, especially as we live out our calling to love across the street. In moments when many families didn’t know where help would come from, the Lord made a way, using His church as a vessel of hope, care, and tangible love right in our local community. What an honor it has been to step into those moments and reflect the heart of God to our city.
During our recent holiday push, our church responded with generosity and compassion, helping serve over 900 families and donating more than 3,000 pounds of food to our ministry partners. Every box packed, every meal shared, and every family served reminded us that we get to be the hands and feet of Jesus, showing God’s love in practical ways and trusting Him to continue providing as we move forward together.
Through our partnership with Crossing Cultures International, we’ve had the incredible opportunity to live out our call to share the love of Jesus around the world, just as we do across the street in our local community. This partnership reminds us that the heart of God knows no borders and that obedience in one place fuels impact everywhere.
Together, we’ve helped equip and support over 10,000 trained missionaries who are faithfully spreading the gospel throughout the 10/40 Window, reaching people in 48 nations. The 10/40 Window is a region spanning North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia, where access to the gospel is limited and many have never heard the name of Jesus. We are honored to play a role in what God is doing globally and excited to see lives transformed as His love continues to reach both across the street and around the world.
