Women's Ministry
Women's Ministry is a place where we grow together, build relationships with each other, and serve alongside one another. We seek to lead women into a personal and passionate relationship with Jesus Christ, embracing the truth that we are in deep need of His saving grace.
This grace removes our pretense and frees us to be honest and authentic with ourselves and others as we find our worth and our identity in God. His life-giving grace takes hold of our hearts, transforming our lives through friendships, marriages, church, community, and the world.

Theme for 2025-26:
When [Jesus] had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. So, they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
LUKE 5:4-7, NIV
In a world that values polish over vulnerability, we’re reclaiming the power of awkwardness. Why? Because awkward is authentic and charming. It’s a breath of fresh air. Sometimes in our quest to be seen as competent, professional and sophisticated, we forget the value of being real. Isn’t it interesting how we love and appreciate awkwardness in others yet fight it off when we feel it in ourselves? Moms self-report loneliness in staggering statistics, probably because they feel no one truly knows the truest version of themselves. And there’s one way to make that happen—by getting awkward.
It’s simple but powerful: Once you give yourself permission to be awkward, fear loses its edge. This is when growth happens, relationships deepen, and obedience moves us from frustration to abundance. Perhaps, awkwardness isn’t a weakness but your greatest asset. What a liberation!
We’re entering a new era of earnestness. It’s about showing up as awkward as necessary to express real kindness to other moms. We will be wild, weird, fun, authentic and a little freer. We will become comfortable embracing our unique spark because denying it leaves everyone around us starving for warmth and light.
This year is about to get awkward … in a good way.
BSF - Bible Study Fellowship:
WEDNESDAY MORNINGS 9:30 am
Women of all ages around the world have the opportunity to study the Bible together, explore the meaningful questions of life, go deeper in their relationship with Jesus Christ, and connect with other women in conversations about things that matter.
Group members spend time in personal Bible study during the week, with questions that prompt deeper thought. Once a week, they meet in person or online for a small-group discussion about what they've read. They also have access to teaching that applies the truths of Scripture to daily life and comprehensive lesson notes on the passage they studied.
We encourage you to join us at The Crossing or find another local group to join.

Here is the Study for 2025-26:
This year’s study, Exile and Return, invites you on a powerful journey through the Old Testament, where God’s people were called to build His kingdom in a foreign land. Their story is our story—we, too, are strangers in a broken world, called to build for His glory. As we explore how God equips and positions His people, we’re challenged to ask: Am I building my life for Christ? Exile and Return reminds us that our time to build is now.
Books included in this year’s study: Ezekiel, Daniel, Ezra, Esther, Haggai, Zechariah, Nehemiah, and Malachi.
Discipleship
Discipleship is not just another church program; it is a lifestyle to be adopted by every follower of Christ. It is a commitment to obey Jesus's last words to His disciples (and to each of us) to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach them to obey all the commands I have given you…." (Matt 28:19-20). This command is for every believer of all ages to commit to
