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!

September 17
November 12Gather for a time of encouragement and prayer. We all have a 'mess' we are in at any moment and it's not always pretty. Our speakers will share what God has them in right now and how they are responding in faith in the middle of their 'mess'. We will continue to encourage one another as we pray for each other, our church, our community and our world.
+ Women's Studies & Groups - Millbrook
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.

In this 7-session study by Jennifer Rothschild, gain fresh insight and encouragement from Psalm 23. Explore the depths of God’s compassionate care while debunking the self-reliance myth. Learn how your vulnerability is not a liability because you can trust the Shepherd’s goodness throughout each season of life.Books are available through Amazon and at Lifeway.

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 for mothers of children from infancy through six years old. Our goal in MOPS is to equip you to handle the joys and challenges of life as a mom. MOPS is a great place for mothers find friendship and acceptance, develop mothering skills, and promote spiritual growth. The women are of many ages and backgrounds, but share the same desire—to be the best mothers they can be. Child care is available during each meeting beginning at 9:15am. Children are lovingly cared for in age-appropriate classes with games, crafts, songs, Bible stories and a snack.
This year's theme is "Find Your Fire." We will stop inhaling the fumes of our mistakes that tell us we are not enough - not good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, and instead choose to tend our God-given fire. We will learn to live expectantly, surrender daringly and breathle freely. We will hold up a torch that sheds light on what matters most.
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 an additional $60 fee 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

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. The study for 2018-2019 focuses on the book of Matthew.
Matthew is the gospel with the most complete record of what Jesus taught, including the Sermon on the Mount. Written to his fellow Jews, Matthew's gospel proves, through Scripture, that Jesus' life and ministry fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah. It also answers the question on the mind of many of Matthew's peers, "If Jesus is the King of the Jews, the where is God's promised kingdom?"
CBS combines individual study, encouraging discussion, effective teaching, and insightful commentary in a caring community where each member is supported.
