Introducing Crossways Companions

Elaine — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 12:45:15 +0000

The vision for Crossways is to resource, encourage and enable churches in their mission and individuals on their personal spiritual journeys. Our desire is for this centre to also be a ‘touching place’ for those outside of the church who visit and use the facilities. Our work has already begun with many different groups using the centre and providing extremely encouraging and positive feedback.

The future of Crossways is great!

Crossways is growing and we are now offering in-house day and residential courses (see What’s On page), exploring issues facing the 21st century church and helping individuals in their spiritual journeys. We also hope to increase the resources and equipment we can offer to schools, charities, voluntary groups and businesses during their visits, including refurbished rooms, WiFi connectibility and state of the art conference facilities/equipment.

You can be part of this vision by becoming a Crossways Companion. As a Companion we will keep you up to date with news from Crossways. You will also be invited to an annual get together to celebrate the life of the centre and experience this wonderful ’touching place’ for yourself. We also have plans to develop a Companions page on this website, where you will be able to sign in and get all the latest news and information - hot of the press! In return we ask that you pray regularly for the centre and the staff here, and commit if possible, to regular giving in support of the work (donations can also be Gift Aided).

To register your interest in becoming a Crossways Companion please either call our office on 01604 696307 or get in touch using the form on the Contact page on this website.

We thank you in advance for helping us in this exciting venture and look forward to welcoming many of you to Crossways in the future.
