Hosts

Summer Activity Groups:
Engage Through Shared Experiences!

Calling all Hosts—this summer, we’re inviting you to engage with others in an informal yet intentional way. Do you have a hobby or interest that you love? What if you could use it to connect with others and share Jesus in the process? We believe that shared experiences could be the key to reaching those on the fringe at Crossroads.

Whether you’re an experienced Host or just getting started, these Activity Groups provide an opportunity to build community in a relaxed, yet intentional, environment. Please sign up before the April 27 deadline. That is the last day to sign up to host an Activity Group this summer. Most summer groups will launch the week of June 1.
