WELCOME TO CROSSROADS YOUTH
At Crossroads Youth, we exist to lead 6th–12th grade students into a deeper, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Every aspect of our ministry is intentionally designed to foster spiritual growth, authentic community, and lifelong faith. On Wednesday nights, students arrive at 6:30pm for games and fellowship, followed by a dynamic, student-led worship experience at 7:00pm and small groups from 8:00–9:00pm. Our Sunday Game Room from 10:15–11:00am offers another opportunity for connection in a casual, relational environment guided by trusted volunteers while allowing them to worship at the 9am or 11am service alongside the broader church community.
Our ministry centers around three key environments:
Weekly programs that provide steady rhythms of discipleship,
Impactful events that open the door for new friendships, and
Small groups that serve as the heartbeat of our community linking every student with a consistent adult leader and peer group.
Whether familiar with church or exploring faith for the first time, every student is welcomed, known, and invited to grow at Crossroads Youth. We hope to see you soon!
