Our College Ministry provides a variety of growth and fellowship opportunities for college students.
Our college students grow and experience life together through small groups, recreational and fellowship events, mission trips, and serving
opportunities.
Join a Small Group!
Around Crossroads, we believe that life is better when lived with others. In fact, one of our core foundations is maintaining and building
community. We love seeing people find life-long friendship, challenge each other to go deeper with God, and to enjoy life and laughing
together. Whether you are just entering into Campus Life or the crazy world of the twenty-something, these groups are for you. Remember,
that unless specified, you can join a group at any time. Some groups are on-going and others semester based.
Information does change occasionally, so check back at the connections center for the most updated information or call the group leader
before getting started. Another value we hold high is the value of impact - making a contribution. Some of the greatest people in the Bible
got that way because they obediently stepped out in faith to serve. Take a close look at the many ways you can serve, contribute and lead.
Come and be a part of the beautiful fabric of our church family that is seeking to make a difference in our world!

share it? If so, consider joining one of these service teams.

fellowship. Contact Matt Taylor at 598-9091 or ktfda8@yahoo.com.
YAE!
YAE stands for Young Adult Ensemble. Okay, not very original, but very cool! About once a month, the weekend services are taken over by this
ensemble who leads in fresh and powerful worship. If you enjoy being a part of the worship experience, this group is for you. Contact Chris
Hirsch at 858-3080, ext. 309. Rehearsal times are scheduled as needed. Call for vocal interview.
Crossroads Church Choir
The CCChoir is a dynamic and active worship and outreach ministry that performs monthly is weekend worship and presents two annual concerts.
Rehearsals are on Thursday evenings and no audition if required to participate. Contact Julia Lee at 858-3080, ext. 308.
Vocal Teams and Solo Work
Our Weekend Worship is at the very heart of our identity as a church family. All vocalists and praise teams are comprised of volunteers who
are willing to serve in this special way. A vocal interview is required to participate. The interview allows us to share the heart and
vision of the worship ministry and to discuss opportunities for service. Each vocal team rehearses during the week prior to participating
in services. Contact Julia Lee at 858-3080, ext. 308 to schedule an interview.
Instrumental
Do you play brass? Strings? Woodwinds? Guitar? Whatever the instrument, there are great opportunities to serve. All music at Crossroads is
live and we play at special events, seasonal events and of course every weekend service. An instrumental interview is required to
participate. Contact Julia Lee at 858-3080, ext. 308 for details
Drama/Media
Some of the most impactful weekend services are reinforced with thoughtful dramatic or media moments. Actors, writers, filmmakers, and set
construction servants are needed. Contact Todd Bussey at 858-3080, ext. 305 to schedule an interview.
Friendship Sports
There is nothing like a little sweat and some friendly competition to make new friends and to build bridges into more meaningful
relationships. Friendship Sports is volunteer-led and designed to provide moderately competitive activity in a wholesome environment that
includes times for prayer and encouragement.
What makes us unique?
We expect competitive play without the attitude or language.
We encourage each team meet each week to pray for and support one another.
Sometimes we host leagues and sometimes we join city leagues, but we always seek to play clean and make a positive impression.
Teams are encouraged to host an end-of-season fellowship – off the field.
All teams will be expected to participate in an inner-city work project to help the underserved.
We run our programs “on the cheap” which means we have no overhead and those who play cover the costs associated with running their team.
Joining a Team
You can join a team, coach a team, or even oversee a league. Let us know of your interest by filling out response card.
Mission Opportunities For College Students
Short Term Mission Trips
Hundreds of empowered volunteers serve each year in Short Term Outreach/Mission Trips. A complete listing of all trips is available at the
Connections Center, but consider pulling out your passport for one of the special opportunities designed for Young Adults.
For additional information contact Pat Creech at 858-3080, ext. 386.
College-age Resources For You!
Are you attending school on a campus located out of town and are looking for ways to stay connected to your Crossroads church family while
away? Are you coming to Evansville for School and are looking for a church family to “adopt” you while away from your home church family? We
want to connect with you! Let us hear from you.
Adopt a Student
Are you from out of town, but attending a School in Evansville? Can we “adopt” you? Adopt-a-student is a simple thing where we connect a
Crossroads family with a University student or a small group of University friends. The “Adoptive” family agrees to open their home to you –
meals, sitting together in worship, provide transportation needs – effectively be a mom and dad when you need one nearby. If this sounds
good to you – and it should – stop by the connections center and pick up an application. Contact Jody Risner at 490-2370.
Care packages
Our church family wants to stay in touch with you throughout the year – to let you know that we are praying and thinking about you. Take
time to register to receive your care packages while you are at college. Contact Jody Risner at 490-2370.
Campus Connect
When you head to college this fall, you will most likely be heading to a campus where others from your church home are attending. These
friends are eager to meet you, to give you the low down on the spiritual happenings and are willing to let you come and join their small
group Bible study. Call them and let them buy you a coke! They are excited to meet you. For connections at your campus, contact Associate
Pastor Todd Bussey at 858-3080, ext. 305.
Local Student Christian Fellowships
University of Evansville - University of Southern Indiana
Student Christian Fellowship is a recognized student group at the Universities of Evansville and at Southern Indiana. Our main desire is to
actively participate in the ongoing transformation of ordinary college students into compassionate disciple-making followers of Jesus. SCF
has three full time campus ministers as well as several interns and dozens of students that lead and serve faithfully every week both up
front and behind the scenes. There are many ways to get connected and plugged in. SCF holds a weekly worship gathering on both campuses.
Every semester there are a host of small group gatherings that focus on Bible study or service teams (inner city, encouragement, prayer,
etc).
