Our Ministries: Everyone Pitches In!
Groups
We have a variety of small-group options for you to join, whether it be a prayer-based triad, our Adult Sunday School class, or one of our sports groups that plays in the gym!
Sunday Kids Ministry
At Crossroads, we believe kids should experience God’s love in a fun, safe, and engaging environment. Our Sunday Kids Ministry is designed to help children grow in their faith through age-appropriate lessons, hands-on activities, and meaningful connections with caring leaders.
🌟 Nursery (Newborn – Age 4):
Our nursery provides a warm, loving space where little ones can play, rest, and be nurtured while parents enjoy the service.
🌟 Children’s Church (Ages 4-12):
Children’s Church meets every Sunday during the 11 AM service! Kids are dismissed during the sermon for an exciting time filled with Bible stories, crafts, games, and interactive learning.
Everything we do is centered on helping children grow in their love for God through prayer, Bible study, and worship, and in their love for others through service, generosity, and kindness—all while having a great time!
We can’t wait to welcome your kids this Sunday!

Forgotten Louisville
Forgotten Louisville is a dedicated group of volunteers with a shared purpose: to bring hope, support, and love to the hurting, the addicted, the lost, the lonely, and the homeless. Every Wednesday night, volunteers head into the streets to provide food, clothing, and essential supplies—meeting immediate needs while also building meaningful relationships.
Forgotten Louisville in Action
💙 Providing Essentials – Volunteers distribute meals, clothing, and hygiene items to those in need.
🤝 Building Relationships – Going beyond material support, volunteers create lasting connections through kindness, conversation, and care.
🙏 Sharing Hope – Bringing encouragement and reminding each person that they are seen, valued, and loved.
Faith in Action
One of the most common questions volunteers hear is, “What church are you with?” The answer? Church isn’t just a building. It’s here, in the streets, in the love we share, in the hands that serve. This is what Jesus did—walking alongside the broken, the forgotten, and the outcast.
Get Involved!
