Year In Review
As we turned the calendar from 2019 to 2020, no one realized what was to come. From March 14 through August 8, we held no in-person services at The Crossing Church due to Covid-19. But during that season of unknown, God moved in powerful ways throughout our church!
Thanks to our incredible staff and servant leaders, we were able to pivot to become an online-first church and provide daily devotionals to tens of thousands of people. Even in the dark moments of this year, the Gospel of Jesus Christ shined bright.
There are still unknowns ahead, we praise and worship God for all He has done and is going to do in the future. There is much to celebrate, and we hope the victories you read on this page will build your faith! Thank you for your faithfulness, for giving to the Lord, and for being a part of the Crossing Family.
