We have three different categories of groups:

ACTIVITYActivity groups

come together

around a specific

activity. Their focus

is less on study

and curriculum and

more on connecting

with each other

through an activity.

Support groups

meet to support

one another during

specific life events.

You’ll find these

groups have exact

focus. We want

to support you

specifically with

what you are going

through.

SUPPORTGrow groups

gather together

and study a specific

curriculum. It

could be a book of

the Bible, a faith

topic, or discussion

revolving around

that week’s sermon.

Some groups are

more focused on

study while others

focus more on

socializing. You will

find a helpful gauge

by the description

of each group to

clarify the focus.

CAN'T FIND ONE TO JOIN? START A GROUP!If there isn’t a group in this catalog for you, maybe the best thing

you can do is start a group of your own. If you are in a growing

relationship with Jesus and can lead a discussion with your friends

- you can do this!

You have friends, and those friends probably enjoy spending time

with you. Why not spend some time together talking about the

message from the weekend and applying it to your life?

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Go to a Crossbrige Groups signup table

2. Tell us you want to start a group

3. Provide your name, e-mail and phone number

Here’s what we will do:

1. Contact you

2. E-mail the sermon reflection guide to you

3. Encourage and support you along the way

This is what we know - groups are awesome. If you can’t find a

group to join, start a group. One last thing, your friends don’t even

have to attend Crossbridge! They could watch the message online

and still be a part of the discussion and your group.

Many of us are too fearful, unsure, and

held back to accomplish our God-given

purpose. In this book you will find strength

and confidence to break free from

insecurity and be the person God sees

by tackling issues like our lack of identity,

believing lies, fearing what people think

and how to walk in freedom. This group is

open to all women.

I'M SORTA NEW HERE; HOW'S THIS WORK?

Where is the holy water? Why is there an

electric guitar here? Are we supposed to eat

fish on Fridays? I have asked myself these

and many other similar questions since I’ve

begun attending Crossbridge. This group

will focus on helping you transition from

the comfort of practicing former religious

traditions you were once accustomed to

and help you adjust to developing a growing

relationship with Jesus.
