VISION AND VALUES
VISION
KNOW GOD
As believers, we have the wonderful opportunity to lead people who are far from God to a life-giving relationship with Him. We place a high priority on reaching those who have not experienced the love, acceptance and forgiveness of God. Because of this high priority, we are committed to doing all that is necessary to reach people who do not know God personally. Scripture says that "Jesus came to seek and save the lost." Reaching the lost was important to Jesus... reaching the lost is important to us.
FIND FREEDOM
We believe life change happens in the context of relationships. Our journey begins when we know God. Our journey flourishes when we find freedom. Small Groups have one simple purpose: to bring people together. God created us to live in community with others, and it is only then that we can experience the full life He intends for us. We place a high priority on small groups because they provide a place to connect, to protect, and to grow. Proverbs 27:17 says, "As iroon sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."
DISCOVER PURPOSE
God's plan for everyone is to be able to live life to the fullest. Growth Track is designed to help everyone begin the process of finding out the reason they were created. When we discover our gifting and then connect with others around the common cause of God's Kingdom, we will be more fulfilled than ever before. Hebrews 6:1 says "Let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity." Discovering your purpose is a big step in this process.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
All of us were created by God to make a difference in the world around us. God has a place for you where your unique abilities and passions can impact the lives of others. We believe your life will never make sense until you find, develop and fulfill your purpose. Everyone has something they can do to impact the lives of others in the Kingdom of God. We believe everyone that calls Crosspointe home is a minister, every person is gifted in some area; every task is important.
