New to the Crossing Church

Before a service starts, graphics will be rolling on the screens with information, announcements and reminders. Here you can find information about upcoming events and church happenings.

Then at 5 minutes till the start a service a countdown timer appears signaling that service is about to begin. We are definitely a church that loves fellowship. Some of us need this que to tell us to find our seats.

During a typical service you are Welcomed by Todd Heptinstall, our Director of Guest Experience. Each week he shares information about the church, or an announcement of an event coming up, but most of the time he will share a story about something that has happened to him, his family or an experience he has had. We just never know what will happen or what he will be doing or wearing or even sometimes singing. But know this, his goal is to make you feel comfortable and take your mind off the world outside and get ready for worship and the word, and he does this often by making you laugh while providing some motivation and biblical connection. 

We then go into Musical Worship. Our praise band provides a place for the congregation to actively participate in expressing praise, adoration, and reverence toward God through elements like song and music.  The lyrics will appear on the screen for you to follow along.  From modern Christian music to an occasional gospel hymn, we generally will have 3 songs during our worship. The band is made up of talented musicians and vocalist. 

Following worship, our Lead Pastor Kermit McPeek will share a spirit filled message.  Typically we are teaching in a verse by verse manner. You can easily watch the previous week's message, and know where we will focus at the next service. You will often see the phase "Eyes on Him" used at our church. This is the mantra of our Senior Pastor. The primary focus of his sermons, leadership style and message to anyone seeking guidance is just that, by keeping our Eyes on Him we can grow in our spiritual life and build a stronger relationship with our Savior. When our focus is on Jesus in all parts of our life, our relationship grows stronger with God. 

At the conclusion of our service we offer an invitation to you to come to altar. This is a time for anyone to come up for prayer and connection. We may kneel down beside you and pray with you. 

We would love to have you join us again the following week (and the week after that, and the week after that, and so on). If you filled out a Connect Card, we may reach out to you to see how you enjoyed our service and provide any requested information.  We also encourage you to check us out on Facebook, YouTube, and other social media outlets.

• Seating is available in the main sanctuary area as well as an overflow area beside the stage and in the Family Room.
• Our Services usually last about 60 min. There are times when we are blessed to provide Baptisms. These are normally done at the end of the service.
• Please remember to silence your phones, and of course while you're doing that be sure to check in and share the message on Facebook.  We ask that if you need to get up during the service please use the door to the back of the sanctuary.  
• We pray that The Crossing Church experience fills your heart with encouragement and leaves you wanting more.  We are so glad you are here and hope you make this your Sunday Morning home each week.
