Small Groups
Small groups cater to a variety of life stages, including a dedicated women’s group, ensuring that everyone can find meaningful connections and engage in thoughtful discussion. Our Small Group Ministry Administrator, Debbie Wonsil, works behind the scenes to equip leaders with the resources and materials they need each week.
The new Wednesday night format at Cross Church begins September 3 and will run for 12 weeks. Each night starts at 6 PM with a short large-group gathering, followed by a 5–10 minute video teaching on a specific spiritual gift from Scripture. After the video, groups will break out for about 45 minutes of guided discussion. Each session is led by a different Cross Church teacher, and the goal is to help every believer discover, understand, and activate the spiritual gifts God has placed in them for the good of the Church and the mission of Christ.
Cross Kidz Blast is a high-energy, Christ-centered program designed just for kids!

It’s the perfect place for kids to make friends, learn biblical truths, and have a blast while doing it.
