Directory Photos | May 19th & 26th | After Service
Abby Park will be taking photos for the directory after service on the 19th and 26th. If you do not yet have your photo in CrossWay's photo directory, or would like your picture updated, be sure to have your photo taken.
Discipleship Opportunities
We want to make you aware of our discipleship/mentorship initiative. The Personal Development Assessment is available to fill out on the website. Once submitted, an elder will reach out to review your responses and help you create a plan for growth. And in addition to other training ministries (e.g., Text Group, Training Seminars), we look forward to connecting you with one-on-one (Mentorship) or smaller group ("Growth Groups") discipleship opportunities with other members in the church. We encourage all members of CrossWay to fill out the Personal Development Assessment each year.
