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!
*Due to the necessary precautions surrounding the Coronavirus (COVID-19), all Women's Ministry classes/groups are postponed until further notice. For more updates and to stay connected, please visit crossroads.org/coronavirus!

+ 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.

919.981.0222 x121Women 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!

MOPS is a great place for mothers find friendship and acceptance, develop mothering skills, and promote spiritual growth.

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. There is a $31.95 MOPS International fee, plus additional fees to cover child care, craft and other expenses due at the first meeting of each semester. Visit our Crossroads MOPS blog and find out what we're up to locally! Also visit the MOPS International web site for more information about the organization.
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 *Begins September 8!
9:45 - 11:30am
Great Room, Millbrook CampusCommunity 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.
This year at CBS we will delve into the New Testament book of John. John writes his gospel as one of Jesus' closest friends. John was with Jesus at the height of his ministry and as a result he presents his gospel from the perspective of an eyewitness and devoted follower. Through supportive small group discussion and large group teaching, we will get to know Jesus as "God in 3-D" and learn about the abundant life that Christ promises.
Come join us in the Great Room on Thursday mornings from 9:45-11:45 am as we are refreshed and transformed by the living word of God. CBS begins on Thursday, September 8th.
