Care Connections - Caring for One Another
Crossroads is a place for help, healing and hope. Because the well-being of our family is a top priority, we provide a variety of ministries that will assist you in day-today life and provide care in times of crisis.

24/7 Pastoral Care

Pastoral help is only a phone call away. If you experience a situation that requires the care of a Pastor, call the church office at (812) 858-8668. If you call during regular office hours, you will be connected with a staff member that can help. If you call after office hours, follow the instructions on the voice mail system to leave a message. The 24/7 Pastor is alerted to your message and will contact you as soon as is possible.


Hospital Visitation

We make it a priority to visit our family members and friends anytime they experience a stay in the hospital. We want to encourage you and pray with you when you’re facing the uncertainties that are often associated with medical situations. If you or someone you care about is experiencing a stay in the hospital, please contact the church office and let us know. We’ll be there to support you in any way we can.


Christian Counseling

Our on-site counseling team specializes in care that is clinically professional and distinctively Christian and biblical. With God’s leading, we help people walk through many of life’s most difficult challenges, including depression, codependency, family counseling, premarital and marital counseling, troubled kids and teens, abuse situations, relationships, and grief.

Counseling appointments may be made by calling the church office at (812) 858-8668. All visits and information are confidential. A fee applies to counseling services.


Prayer Support

A variety of Prayer Resources are available to take your prayer requests and to share the prayer needs of our church family. We believe it’s necessary and vital that we lift each other in prayer continuously.


Refuge

Refuge is an evening set aside to provide help, hope and freedom to anyone seeking to overcome the day-to-day challenges of life. A Refuge evening includes a meal, a time of praise and worship, and a Life Group class of your choosing.

Life Groups address a wide range of specific, real-life needs and topics to strengthen and prepare us for day-to-day living. Life groups cover a wide range of topics, including important issues such as Divorce Care, Career Management, Addictions, Weight Los, Marriage Enrichment, Financial Peace University, and many more.
