Crossroads (Senior High)

This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls."

At Crossroads, we explore life issues in fun, creative ways. There are a variety of large and small-group learning opportunities as we explore topics that teens deal with on a regular basis. In addition to Sunday Morning programming, there are also events held approximately once/month. Click here to download our 2008-2009 Ministry Calendar in Adobe Acrobat format (.pdf).

We also give students the opportunity to put faith into action through Crossroads Missions. Crossroads Missions gives students a very real and meaningful way to stand and say, "We too will serve the LORD, because he is our God," just as the Israelites responded to Joshua's call to action.  The Workcamp experience gives youth the opportunity to be used by God in ministering to those in need through basic home repair and visiting with their resident while working.  Quality spiritual programming from daily devotions to nightly large-group programs connect students with timeless truths as they serve the Lord.  For more information about Workcamps, check out the Group Workcamps website at www.groupworkcamps.com.

To get involved with Crossroads, contact Jason Christ, Director of Student Ministries, at jchrist@firsttinity.com, or by phone at 716-835-2220.
