WHAT IS CROSS+TRAINING?
CROSS+TRAINING will be a regular Wednesday night training time for adults and students. Beginning at 6:30pm in the Worship Center, the church will gather for a song, prayer, and approximately 15 minutes of teaching guided by an Arrow Heights pastor. Pastors select a book each semester based on the rotating emphases of Truth (studying God’s Word), Training (applying God’s Word), and Togetherness (living the Word in community). Participants will be encouraged to read specified portions of the book throughout the week. After the opening 30 minutes, trainees break into designated groups with group leaders for approximately an hour to discuss the material. Each semester, leaders are identified and trained. Group signups occur over a several-week period in advance as resources are made available. CROSS+TRAINING is semester-based and begins/end on specified dates.
