Crossings Institute
Sacrificial Yet Accessible
What is it?
Crossings Institute exists to teach followers of Christ his Word to equip them to make disciples and multiply churches. We believe theology is best learned in community—through conversation, shared learning, and mutual encouragement.
​
This 24-week discipleship journey (split into two 12-week semesters) invites participants to commit to deep, thoughtful study. We’ll meet weekly on Sundays from 3:00–5:00 PM for teaching and discussion. Participants should also expect about 2 hours of reading and assignments each week.
If you’ve known the stories of the Bible but have struggled to see how they connect—or how your understanding of Scripture shapes your view of God and your daily life—Crossings Institute is for you.
​​
Crossings Institute is intentionally designed to call participants into a deeper level of commitment—of time, heart, and mind. We believe that growing in our knowledge of God is worth the sacrifice. And yet, we’ve also worked to make this experience accessible for anyone willing to say “yes” to growth.
The 24-week journey is challenging, but not overwhelming. It requires your time, attention, and a desire to engage—but no theological background or prior experience is necessary. Whether you’re a longtime believer or just beginning to ask deeper questions, this course is for you.
If you’re ready to invest in your spiritual life in a way that is both meaningful and manageable, the Crossings Institute offers a place to do just that—in the context of community, Scripture, and a love for God.
