A disciple of Jesus follows Jesus and helps others do the same. At CrossWay, we are committed to investing in those inside and outside the community of faith.
We seek to equip and encourage people for disciple-making in their everyday life. Members are committed to honoring God and being others-oriented, which requires a willingness to let go of comfort and invest in your community.

Gospel Communities are small groups of disciples that are families of disciples on mission. Gospel Communities are commissioned to weave people in that are disconnected and to reach out to those who are outside of the Church.
Our hope is that growing Gospel Communities multiply to become many Gospel Communities.

Our desire is to establish many flourishing churches in our region through a variety of avenues including: traditional church plants, revitalization, incubating churches, and pioneering efforts.
pioneering efforts
This is when a group of people do intentional gospel work in places that are particularly challenging and require unique approaches to establishing flourishing churches. While the end goal is to see a healthy church, the timeline, steps and strategy to begin a church will likely be significantly different than other avenues.
Justin and Catherine Denney began a pionnering effort in Kenosha's Wilson neighborhood in 2019. They moved into the area, continued the decade-long after-school program at Wilson Elementary, and built a network of relationships. After listening and learning from the community, the Denney's planted a classical Christian school called Kenosha Christian Academy, which launched Fall 2022.

supporting other churches
We know the people in our region will never be reached by the efforts of CrossWay alone. So we always want to pay attention to like-minded churches that are being planted in our area, and find ways to support them in whatever way we can.
We have supported two new churches in our region:
Eastside Church is a collective of neighborhood churches being planted in Madison by Ben Hacker. Ben was a member of CrossWay and a part of the CrossWay Pastoral Training Course.
Redemption Church is a church plant sent from Grace Church in Racine. Redemption began in downtown Wauwatosa and are now located in Brookfield.
