WANTED: Group Hosts to Rebuild Community

“The enemy stole our connection. But Jesus is bringing it back.”

This is “The Return of Us” — a church-wide movement to reclaim what matters most: community. We believe no one should walk through life (or faith) alone. That’s why we’re launching a powerful season of Growth Groups, and we need YOU to help lead the charge.

What’s a Growth Group Host?

It’s not about having all the answers — it’s about opening your home, your heart, or even a room at church and creating space where people can connect, grow, and follow Jesus together. Whether you’re a seasoned leader or it’s your first time, we’ll equip you every step of the way.

Fall Growth Groups Begin the Week of September 7

Most groups will run through November 23 (12 weeks).

Types of Groups You Can Host:

• Daniel Sermon Series Groups: These follow our Sunday teaching through the book of Daniel — easy to lead and great for all stages of faith.
• Special Curriculum Groups: Host one of these studies and we’ll provide everything you need:
  • Financial Peace University (FPU)
  • Rooted
• Tuesday Night Church-Based Groups (Childcare Available!): We’re looking for Hosts to help lead Tuesday Night Groups right here at Crossroads.

Who Can Host?

• Adults who love Jesus and care about people.
• Willing to facilitate discussion (training provided).
• Open to hosting in a home, coffee shop, church, or online.

Why Host?

• Because someone is waiting for you to say yes.
• Because community doesn’t rebuild itself.
• Because Jesus is calling us back together.

Ready to Join the Movement?

Let’s host. Let’s grow. Let’s return.
