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.
