Our mission and vision are made alive in practical terms through the various ministries within our community; it is our desire that all ministries have a common shared and unified sense of vision and purpose and understand where we as a church are and God desires for us to go.

Kid's Ministry

JC Kids is about helping the youngest members of our community discover who they were meant to be in Jesus. Each week there is a fun and interactive bible lesson that involves crafts and different activities to engage the kids in a fun way. Kids are also introduced to prayer and are encouraged to bring their prayer requests for their friends, families and teachers. Kids keep track of their prayers on the prayer wall so they can see that God is at work in their lives.

Men's Ministry

The Men’s Ministry is a multi -dimensional ministry that seeks to reach the poor, lost, broken, and men in bondage and to restore them and set them free in Christ, while offering our Christian men the opportunity to go deeper in their faith and understanding of the gospel. It is a time when men get together to pray, share their testimonies, and encourage each other in their daily challenges and walk with the Lord. The Men’s ministry meets every Saturday morning at 10 am.

Community Dinner

Of all the ministries at Joshua Crossing the most unique may be the Thursday night community dinners. Every Thursday evening from 6 until 8 pm we gather together around the dinner table to share life. Most of the time we laugh, some of the time we cry but we always do it together. Community dinners are for everyone; that means you are welcome here regardless if this is your church home or not – At Joshua Crossing we desire to be as authentic a community as we can be and that means sharing life together. If you don’t feel like cooking and you want to be among friends or make some new ones bring your whole family out to Thursday Night Community Dinner.

It consists of men and women passionate about seeking the Lord and bringing that passion to the expression of their God given gifts. It is the hope that during worship in singing and music together with God’s people we will all know we are in the presence of our Holy God.
