Youth Participating in Underground Church Event

This is a joint event with several other area youth groups. Each team's first task is to elude the underground cops and gag regime, anti-Christian government while they travel to the secret underground church location for celebration and worship. This is a poignant reminder of what Christians have endured in order to meet and worship together from ancient days right up to the present.

The Summer Camp Fund Needs You

There are several opportunities coming up for young people to hear the gospel, grow in their faith, and serve the Lord by serving others. We hope our youth will be active in these events, and we certainly do not want families who are financially strapped to not include their children because of a lack of funds. If you want to help, please contribute to Crossroads Summer Camp Fund to enable the church to offer scholarships to our young people.
