Why Small Groups?
One of the best ways to start living in authentic community with each other is through participating in one of our Small Groups. Small Groups is the place where you can connect with others here at CrossRoads. We believe those who participate in Small Groups not only feel a connection with others in their group, but also more of a connection with the church, with their faith and with God.

Small Groups consist of three to six couples or six to twelve individuals who meet in a host home for fellowship, Bible study, prayer, accountibility and care. The group's purpose is to care for one another and help each individual person move forward on his/her spiritual journey. We offer Small Groups for all "seasons of life."
The New Testament teaches us that the first Christians were formed into a group of twelve by Jesus (Matthew 4:18-22). The early church met in homes and shared their lives with each other (Acts 2:42-47). Small Groups are a place where participants experience authentic community and spiritual growth the way Jesus taught. It is an environment where God is active in the lives of its members and where people change.
Who Can Be In Small Groups?
Small Groups are available for individuals, couples, men only, women only, with kids, for support or recovery, for those young in their spiritual journey, for those who are continuing to mature their faith, and many others. New small groups start throughout the year.

Women's Bible Studies
Our Women's Bible Studies are open to women of all ages. The same study is offered Monday evenings from 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm, and Tuesday mornings from 9:00 am - 11:00 am. Both sessions are held in the Ministry Center. There is a large group time when the Bible study lesson is presented via video. Then ladies work in small groups at tables to discuss the materials and share life together. Childcare is available for the Tuesday morning study.
The current Women's Bible Study is Beth Moore's "Breaking Free" (2009 revision). This study focuses on the book of Isaiah (Old Testament), and breaking free from the bondage that keeps us from living the abundant spiritual life that God has made possible. The cost of the book is $18. It is not too late to join!
Both the Monday night and Tuesday morning groups are taking the week of Labor Day off (09/06 and 09/07) as well as the weeks of October 4th and October 11th (following local school calendars), and will conclude the week of November 22nd.
If you are interested in participating in one of the weekly sessions, CLICK HERE to sign up.

Men's Fraternity
This dynamic video series for guys meets in the Ministry Center from 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm each Thursday. Guys of all ages and stages of life are welcome to come, make new friends, view the videos on various topics that men deal with, and pray together (led by a Table Group Leader). The only cost is a $15 donation for your workbook. Three different video series are offered: “The Quest For Authentic Manhood” (beginning series), “Winning at Work & Home,” and “The Great Adventure.” We begin the time together, as a large group, and then break into the respective video series groups that each guy/table group is there for. For more information, questions regarding content or cost, please contact Pastor Wil at wspaite@crnaz.com or 480.722.0700.
What Is Men's Fraternity?
Men's Fraternity was developed by Pastor Dr. Robert Lewis over a number of years as he strived to connect with and challenge the men of his church. More than just a rally or a Bible Study, Men's Fraternity provides men with an encouraging process that teaches them to live lives of authentic manhood as modeled by Jesus Christ and directed by the Word of God.
Men's Fraternity Is About:
- Finding a clear definition of manhood
- Men meeting together
- Building relationships
- Encouraging one another
