CrossWay is a community of believers whose sole purpose is to know Christ and make Him known. Under the framework of the faith and practices of the Mar Thoma Church, CrossWay strives to bring glory to God through Gospel-centered worship, teaching, discipleship, fellowship, and missions. We believe conducting service can be done through a responsive and interactive format that brings out worship in our hearts. We believe as a faith community we are called to share in the sacrament of communion. We are not “just another” Sunday service. Instead, we believe that “church” is a way of doing life. Therefore, we welcome ALL people, regardless age, race, culture, background, or stage of life to join us as we live life the way of the Cross.
Key Components
Christ-Centered Teaching (II Timothy 3:16-17)
We believe that Scripture is inspired, authoritative, inerrant and sufficient.
Scripture has the power to reveal truth & convict our lives through the power of the Holy Spirit.
God’s truth can and will release His people from the chains of bondage and imprisonment for any who genuinely believe and call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Our primary objective is to ensure The Word is being spoken openly, honestly, lovingly, and authoritatively over the lives of our body.
Children are a priority, and we will stand alongside parents to encourage, teach, and equip the next generation with the truth of God's Word through regular Sunday School classes and other activities.
