Deacon Vote for Peter Merritt
Peter Merritt has been nominated to be voted on for deaconship. You can read our Deacon & Elder Handbook to learn about our understanding of the Biblical office of deacon, as well as CrossWay’s process of deacon nomination, screening, and appointment (see also our Constitution & Bylaws). At this time, we ask that you prayerfully consider Peter according to the qualifications in 1 Tim 3:8-13, and speak privately to the elders with questions or concerns you might have. A congregational vote will be conducted (electronically) from February 19th - 25th (all members will be emailed a ballot).

Sermon Materials
Current Series - The Gospel According to Mark | The Unexpected King
According to Mark, Jesus is the coming King who is bringing God's kingdom. But the sort of King he is, and the sort of kingdom he brings, is quite unexpected. Jesus is a king who suffers and serves. And he calls his followers, the citizens of his kingdom, to do likewise—to walk in his way and carry their cross.
