One of the most important ways to get connected at The Church of the Cross is to first become a member of our congregation.
If you are not a member and you are interested in learning more about membership, please call the Parish Office (843-757-2661) and speak to Sue.
Membership begins with an informal meeting with clergy.
The next step in getting connected would be joining a Bible Study or small group to be in community with other Believers.
Spiritual Growth
Alpha is designed to create a space for honest conversations about faith and discussing some of life’s biggest questions. It provides an opportunity to connect with one another while sharing thoughts, ideas, and opinions in a safe and caring environment. Each session will begin with a connection time with some light appetizers, content time with a short teaching, and end with a conversation around your table. If you have been a part of Alpha previously, and are interested in facilitating, please contact Barb Ready at barbready@thechurchofthecross.net for more information.
Coming this fall!
LIFE IS BETTER IN COMMUNITY
In a small home group with other believers, we are encouraged and challenged. We are able to be real and comforted knowing we are not alone in our faith walk. We are able to grow closer to God with others.
We are starting HOME GROUPS/SMALL GROUPS and are looking for leaders to get this going! You do not need to have a theology degree to help lead a home group. Contact Barb Ready for the next steps in getting involved as a leader or if you want to hear more about the vision and get plugged in.
The Crossroads Ministry is a small group, in-home Bible Study focused on building relationships, as well as encouraging and equipping women to live for Jesus. Groups gather at various times, days, and in homes all over the Bluffton area. For more information, email Sue Kelley
Every week men gather in small groups at different times and different locations to pray for one another, encourage one another, and consider how Scripture informs our lives. For those of you looking for a tight-knit band to help you navigate life, grow in grace and knowledge of the Scriptures, and work to see your lives changed so you are more like Jesus, these groups are for you. Contact Barb Ready to get connected with a group.
