The Pathway for a Engaged Churches in our Fellowship
Connect • Strengthen • MultiplySaturate Indiana with the Gospel
Acts 1:8 • Our Shared Mission
A simple pathway to help every Crossroads church connect well, strengthen leaders, and multiply ministry so that every Hoosier can hear the good news of Jesus.
Our Mission
In Acts 1:8, Jesus gave His church its marching orders—and they haven’t changed. Our pathway helps churches move from Connect → Strengthen → Multiply. As pastors thrive, leaders are equipped, and congregations mobilize, churches become sending churches—releasing lay leaders, missionaries, and pastors across Indiana and beyond.
The Pathway
Step 1: CONNECT — Care for Pastors
Healthy pastors lead healthy churches. We make sure shepherds are cared for so they can care for others.
- Local pastor fellowships (no more than 60–90 minutes away)
- Peer coaching and prayer support
- Retreats and renewal opportunities
Step 2: STRENGTHEN — Develop Leaders
Your leaders get practical tools and coaching to build a disciple-making culture that lasts.
- One-day summits on vision, strategy, culture
- 6–9 month cohorts with implementation coaching
- Elder, volunteer, & ministry team training
Step 3: MULTIPLY — Send & Support
Every church can play a part in reaching every county—and every neighbor—with the Gospel.
- Plant English-speaking and foreign-language churches
- Revitalize struggling congregations
- Equip sending churches to release leaders
