@ crosstown we utilize several translations of the Bible, primarily including the NIV and TNIV versions because of their strong correlation to the original text and readability.

our sunday worship incorporates what is called the four-fold structure or paradigm. clearly, it consists of four parts, which are:

gathering before God

we are invited into the presence of God and do so through music, congregational signing, scripture, and prayer.

hearing from God

we give our attention to God by opening ourselves to his Word and message. we invite the Spirit to transform our lives as a result of that Word to help us live like Jesus.

responding to God

we respond to God, his Word, and the message through various means such as (but not limited to): questions to ponder, conversation, discussion, dialogue, songs of response, offering, congregational prayer, and communion.

being sent by God

through John 20:21 (as the Father has sent me, I am sending you), we hear and understand that Jesus us sending us into a broken, fractured and hurting world that is hungry for God’s mercy and grace.
