Crossroads Christian Academy Groups, Growth & Connecting Points One of our core values that we seek to instill in students at Crossroads is learning to give of ourselves to bless and help others – to Extend God’s Love. Last Wednesday we kicked off the Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child project to collect and pack shoe boxes with a mixture of useful and fun objects that are sent to needy children around the world. On Tuesday, our Jr. High harvested vegetables at America’s Grow-A-Row. It is a significant part of growing up when we see other’s needs and participate in showing others that Jesus loves them. Groups, Growth, & Connecting Points Groups @ South Ridge are small communities where people are changed by God’s Spirit as they experience belonging, embrace God’s grace, and extend God’s love. They’re places where people “grow in 3D” (3 directions) in, up, and out. Three types of groups are offered: Serving Opportunities SRCC Prison Ministry The SRCC Prison Ministry exists to create a path for God’s healing in inmate’s lives by facilitating groups and worship services at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility.
