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 intentionally gather together to follow Jesus and help others do the same. Gospel Communities are commissioned to weave people in that are disconnected, and to reach out to those who are outside of the Church.
As more people are weaved into individual Gospel Communities, our hope is that this spurs on the need to multiply.

Our heartbeat is to establish many flourishing churches in our region. We believe God is calling us to spend our time and resources on multiplying efforts rather than expanding our church building.
We want to focus our efforts on establishing new or revitalizing current churches. Our dream is that every neighborhood in our area would have a vibrant, healthy local church.

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 have decided to plant a classical Christian school called Kenosha Christian Academy, launching 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 are currently supporting 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. David and Anna Scherer from CrossWay are part of the core launch team. Redemption has planted itself in the heart of Wauwatosa, where there are few gospel-centered churches.
