Parenting Class

Our goal is not to raise children who just become successful, but children who see success as a deep-abiding and long-lasting love for God. We know that this takes God’s grace in our parenting and God’s grace in our little ones’ lives. Join us as we learn and support each other in this monthly parenting group. Contact the church for more details.

Why Crosspoint?

admin — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 04:09:39 +0000

We are a group of Christians who seek to honor God by “Pointing People to the Cross!” Our mission is quite simple: We endeavor to glorify Christ and make him known. It seems basic… and it is! We were created to display and relay the majesty of God and the church was instituted to be “to the praise of his glory.” Join us as we look to worship the Person of God, to study the Word of God, and to grow as the People of God.

There is so much we want to share with your and this website is only scratching the surface. Check out our “Who” link at the top of the site to find out more information about our church.

Community Groups

admin — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 04:10:32 +0000

The Christian life is not meant to be lived alone. While our standing with God is based on our relationship with God, the Bible is clear that our interactions with other Christians is a catalyst to building that relationship. With the many “one another” passages in the Scriptures we recognize that I need people to help me (and they need me to help them) know and savor my relationship with Christ.

A major way that we look to “Point each other to the Cross” is by meeting in each others’ homes in small groups that we call “Community Groups.” These meetings take place in homes with just a handful of people for the purpose of studying the Scripture and caring for one another spiritually.

We have new Community Groups forming and have room for you and your family. Come join us as we “Point Each Other to the Cross!”

So what is church anyway?

robbie — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 02:47:44 +0000

To some, church is a place you go to get married or a place you are forced to attend on Easter at the prodding of your grandmother. To some, the church is just an irrelevant group of people that teach about what you should and shouldn’t do. Well, we are here to tell you that the church is very important in God’s eyes. It is relevant because God is relevant. The church is not, or should not, be about religion, but about a relationship with Christ. And as we seek to know God more and serve him better, we understand that God designed the Christian to do so in a caring and committed community of believers. It is when we are in relationships that point us to Christ that we honor him most!

Why attend church? Have you ever attended a professional baseball game? I remember...

Why attend church?

Have you ever attended a professional baseball game? I remember back to when I was just a boy traveling from New Mexico to LA to watch the Dodgers play; Darrell Strawberry was my favorite player at that point and I was so excited to see him play. I had seen many games on TV, collected Topps, Upperdeck and other baseball cards, and followed the sport as best as I could.

But at that mid-afternoon California game… everything changed.

Participating with others who loved the very same thing as I, interacting with the sights and sounds of what baseball was about with people who shared my interests, my love, my commitment. Baseball was never the same!

Many of us live our Christian life just as I followed my baseball. We read the literature, we talk about and to God, but we fail to participate with those who love him as we do. The Christian life was not meant to be lived in isolation.

As followers (disciples) of Christ, we best grow when:

We experience life with those who are learning
We are accountable to to fellow learners for continued growth
We are affirmed and loved in our Christian walk
We are part of a structure that allows, supports, and urges growth.

Why attend church? Because I need you, you need me, and together we point each other to the Cross!

Reflections on Christian Koinonia

admin — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 15:39:30 +0000

Ever get to the point in your life where you feel you are making the journey alone? Sure, there are people around you at home, at work, during a corporate worship service; but you feel as though no one understands you and worse, no one WANTS to understand you. You feel that you have an image that you are to conform to and as long as you look and perform like you are suppose to, you are being who you are suppose to be and no help in your journey is needed.

Well, most people will have these thoughts at some point in their life. But the fact is, that we all need investment. “Investment?” you ask. We need people to invest in us just as they need people to invest in them. To keep with the analogy, you cannot take out of savings what has not already been put in. We often feel we are running on empty in our spiritual lives because we don’t have those around us who are helping us “fill the bank.”

These thoughts are often true to reality; we need people around us that build us up, people who are on the same journey as we are and feel the same pressures we do. We NEED each other! But may I humbly suggest, as much as we need the koinonia (or fellowship) of each other, we need koinonia with Christ. The word koinonia, which is translated fellowship or partnership in the New Testament, speaks of it as person to person. But more often than not it speaks of it as us to God. 1 Corinthians 1:9 “God is faithful, by whom you were called into fellowship with his son, Jesus Christ.” 2 Corinthians 13:13 “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”Philippians 2:1 “Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort provided by love, any fellowship in the Spirit…” The list could go on.

The point is, if we feel we are alone and there is no one we can turn to, we should first ask ourselves how our fellowship is with God. If it is lacking it is not because of Him. As Christ told to the erring Laodecian church in so many words, “I am at your church’s door knocking, just let me in!” (Revelation 3:20). Let us renew our relationship with Christ, be fully Christ centered in our work day, in our home life, and in our corporate body of believers, and maybe, just maybe we will find that fellowship that we need. We might just find it in Christ!
