The Women's Ministry of Crossroads Fellowship exists to encourage and support ladies - no matter what season or circumstance - to become fully devoted followers of Christ. We believe this happens best when we Connect to one another and Grow in Christ; as well as Serve in the church and the community together. By doing this, we find a sense of belonging to God and one another, enabling us to become all we are in Christ, and equipping us to bless others with love, grace and the truth of Jesus Christ!

Women's Fall Retreat
Friday, November 1 - Sunday, November 3
Rockfish Retreat Center | Cost: $150
Ready to relax and rejuvenate? Join us November 1-3 at Rockfish Retreat Center in Parkton, NC (1.5 hours away). We begin on Friday evening with fun and fellowship. Saturday and Sunday's worship, teaching and sharing will explore the beauty that comes from our brokenness and how it is God’s grace that makes us stronger. Rockfish offers a relaxing “camp” experience without “roughing” it. We will be staying in their Bergland Retreat Center where the rooms are hotel-style and sleep three. Meals are included. Cost is $150 per person. For more information on the accomodations, check out www.camprockfish.org/retreats.

In a large church, it can be difficult to find a way to connect with other believers outside of worship. Joining an interest group, class or small group is a great way to find a place to plug in, belong, and grow in your relationship with Christ and other women.
Small Groups
Small Groups meet in homes around Raleigh and Wake Forest. If you are interested in joining or starting a small group, click HERE.

Women are equipped within the context of Biblical community in our Women's Small Groups. These groups meet throughout our community at various times throughout the week and focus on Connecting, Growing, Serving, Praying and Giving together.
Each group is uniquely designed, according to the passions and gifts of the leader. Some groups may meet weekly for Bible study, while others may meet twice monthly to serve and connect with a devotion over lunch. Regardless, each group's goal is the same — to help you become a fully devoted woman of God!

Children are lovingly cared for in age-appropriate classes with games, crafts, songs, Bible stories and a snack.
Crossroads MOPS welcomes women from throughout the community. You do not need to be a member of Crossroads Fellowship to join Crossroads MOPS.

Your Kids Are Growing, and We Are Too!
We are officially launching a blend of MOPS and MOMSnext at Crossroads. This new extension of MOPS is for all mothers of school-age kids to experience authentic community, personal growth, practical help and spiritual hope.
This MOMSnext small group will meet at Crossroads Fellowship on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays with MOPS. The MOMSnext group will have brunch and crafts with our MOPS group. Many speakers and topics will still be relevant to this group; but there will also be opportunities for separate discussions unique to moms with older children. This Group will enjoy mom's nights out, lunch or coffee dates, and time for children to socialize together!
Thursdays
9:45 - 11:30am
Great Room, Millbrook Campus *Resumes September 5!
Community Bible Study (CBS) provides individual study, small group discussions, effective teaching and fellowship. From September through May, CBS offers morning classes for women and children. CBS is open to women of all ages and denominations. The study for 2019-2020 is titled Red Sea to the Jordan River and includes the books of Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers.
These books tell the story of how God delivered His chosen people, the Israelites, from Egyptian slavery and estabished them as a new nation. These books aren't just history, they tell the story of a holy God's faithfulness to weak and sinful people like us and cover issues we deal with today - doubt and faith, complaining and grace, crisis and intercession, failure and repentance.
CBS combines individual study, encouraging discussion, effective teaching, and insightful commentary in a caring community where each member is supported.
