Sunday Morning classes
THE BOOK OF ACTS
The book of Acts is an incredible display of the Holy Spirit’s power, work, and ministry through the life of the early church. Join us as we seek fresh eyes and a fresh heart to see how we too can live like the early disciples to spread the Gospel like a mustard seed in today’s world.
This study will be led by Josh and Megan Keener and Michael and LaDona Teague in Classroom #201.

We are UNASHAMED, CHRIST-CENTERED PEOPLE, WHO LIVE BY FAITH IN PURSUIT OF DEEPLY TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH JESUS FOR THE SAKE OF THE WORLD.
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes; first to the Jew and then to the Gentile.
This group gathers weekly on Sunday mornings during the Sunday school time 9:45-10:30 at CrossRoads Community Church. In class we learn together and encourage one another in our faith journey. A few times a year, we gather to share social connections and have fun together. Our group is an eclectic group of young couples, singles, and parents who value learning and community as we follow Christ.
THE STUDY OF NEHEMIAH
The Bible gives us practical advice that is relevant to what we are going through today. This study of Nehemiah is such a strong part of God’s gift to help us understand that He has a plan and purpose even as we walk the difficult days. Nehemiah’s example teaches us how to stay focused on Him as we navigate the attacks of the enemy that come in many forms from all sides. Join us and be encouraged and inspired to actively participate in all our God has for His church and His people. Together, let’s purpose to become who He calls us to be!
Class led by Pastor Paul Braschler in the Chapel.
The Ascent
JUDE: Contending for the Faith in Today's Culture
The Book of Jude is often overlooked, yet it remains very relevant for our time. God commanded His beloved church to do the necessary work of contending for the faith in a world of unbelief and deception and this applies to us as well. This study encourages us to contend for our faith, embrace holiness and live authentically. Please join us on Sunday mornings as we learn, build relationships and share in community together!
Led by Joe & Tara McKinney in Room 203.

The way of wisdom:
a study of the book of proverbs
Morning Women's Study | 9:30am-Noon
Led by Lisa Walters in the Chapel
The book of Proverbs describes godly wisdom as a path that leads to life and flourishing. It also warns of the folly of worldly wisdom as a path that leads to the grave. Every day we face the choice between the true riches of God’s instruction or the fool’s gold of earthly pleasures and pursuits. How often do we call to mind the wisdom found in the sayings of Proverbs to shed light on the path before us? How relevant do we even believe these ancient words are to our modern world?
We hope you will join us as we place our feet firmly on the path of life revealed in the book of Proverbs. As we consider wisdom principles on everyday topics like words, work, friendship, marriage, parenting, neighborliness, money management, leadership influence, and more, we’ll discover the wisdom of Proverbs as an invitation to steadily walk God’s way in God’s world.
Benefits:
- Discover how the wisdom in Proverbs leads to abundant life, healthy relationships, and a fulfilling walk with God.
- Learn how to study wisdom literature in the Bible through a variety of study methods and teaching voices.
- Draw closer to God as your understanding of His wisdom grows.
real-life discipleship:
Equipping disciples who make disciples (part 1 of 2)
Real-Life Discipleship explains what should happen in the life of every Christian so that the church becomes an army of believers dedicated to seeing the world saved. All too often good Christian people feel lost in what to do to obey Jesus’ last command in Matthew 28:18-20. The church is called to reach the world for Jesus one person at a time. With the overriding goal to train disciples of Jesus who know how to make more disciples, we will discover what the Bible says about true and effective discipleship with practical strategies and practices.
Join us for this two-part class as we assess our spiritual maturity, grow our understanding of what it means to be an intentional leader, learn how Jesus used relationships purposefully, discover how the training process works, and more. We hope you will join us as we grow together in our commitment and ability to obey Christ’s Great Commission and to be like Him: living as disciples who go out and make disciples, who go out and make disciples.
(Part 2 will begin when classes resume in January 2026. Please also plan to join us for part two of RLD.)
ten men of the bible:
How god used imperfect people to change the world
Men's Evening Study | 6pm-8pm
Led by Jerry Pledger | Room #104
The men depicted in the Bible were not perfect by any means. We find story after story marked by scandal, failure, and intrigue. Yet we also find many stories of men who were able to look beyond their circumstances, completely trust in the Lord, and follow Him wherever He chose to take them. Like us, these men made both good and bad decisions along the way—and experienced both good and bad consequences—and we find our struggles and hopes in the pages of the Bible that tells their stories.
Please join us as Max Lucado tells some of his favorite stories of these men in the Bible. Each session includes five insights on each character and Bible study questions to help you delve into the stories and apply them to your life.
Stories include:
- Noah: When You're Low on Hope
- Job: The Most Famous Conversation in the Bible
- Jacob: Wrestling with the Past
- Moses: The Voice from the Mop Bucket
- David: Colossal Collapses
- Joseph: Unanswered Questions
- Matthew: Friend of Flops
- Peter: The Gospel of the Second Chance
- Lazarus: The Final Witness
- Paul: Don’t Write Off Anyone
Luke in the Land:
Walking with Jesus in his first-century world
Women's Evening Study | 6pm-8pm
Led by Merissa Braschler | Room #201
Come along with us as Kristi McLelland helps us follow Jesus in the places He walked – Bethlehem, Galilee, Jerusalem.
In our Bibles, we have four gospels describing Jesus’s time on earth: Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. The Land of Israel - the place Jesus walked and taught during His earthly ministry is often referred to as the “fifth Gospel.” Our study together will follow Kristi through Israel as we study snapshots from the Gospel of Luke to see where the stories of the Bible took place. Over seven sessions, our study will challenge us to read the accounts of Jesus through the teaching videos that will take us to locations in Israel such as Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and the road to Emmaus. Along the way, we’ll see how Jesus, the Messiah, brought His kingdom to earth for everyone. We hope you will join us for Luke in the Land.
