CARE TEAM
The care team is composed of a group of individuals who assist the leadership of Crossing in expressing the heart of Christ for His people. Through their gentle and loving approach the Care team prepares the Environment of the church by guiding guest, answering questions, providing hospitality and reducing distractions to worship. Our Care team serves God by serving His people. If a need arises during our services the CARE team is there to help.
Heart Preparation
Scripture tells us we are to enter God’s into gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise (Psalms 100:4). Each of us should already be prepared to receive from God because we have prepared ourselves by worshipping the Lord before we enter His house. However many times our hearts are encumbered with issues instead of being filled with worship. We can be unprepared to receive and spend more time getting ready to receive than we do receiving. Through silent prayer offered to every one who approaches the doors our CARE Team works with God by faith in ensuring that each individual receives from the Lord what they need.
Mind Preparation
Scripture also informs us that each time the word goes forth satan competes against the word by causing distractions (Matthew 13a;18-22). The Care team operates as watchmen ensuring that whether you are and active family member or one of our guest each individual will have a pleasant encounter with Jesus Christ at each service we hold. They are on the alert to serve and keep the atmosphere in the church reverent before God.
Soul Preparation
Creating an environment of love and acceptance without compromising the truth of God word is why the CARE Team exists. We are here to let each person to know how special they are to God. The CARE Team is about just that caring. It is our goal that each person knows the love of God and how special they are in His eyes. Through lovingkindness God has drawn all of us (Jeremiah 31:3). The care we share draws each of us closer unto God. If you have special needs or concerns the CARE Team is here for you.
If you are in our area we invite you to come and be a part of one of our services. As our guest you are always welcome and we look forward to the opportunity to meet you. God Bless you and keep you always –From the CARE Team
