Women's Ministry

Welcome!

As women at Cross Creek Church, we desire to help one another grow in truth, live in community, and serve in God’s kingdom! We pursue those things in a variety of ways, and welcoming new ladies into the fold is one of our favorite things!

Keep scrolling to find out about ways we are seeking to be transformed by God’s word, connect with one another, and use our gifts to serve those around us near and far.

Theme Verse

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

-Hebrews 10:24-25

Meet our Women’s Ministry Director

Hello friend!

I have always had a heart for fostering spiritual growth in community, and Cross Creek Church has had an integral part in my own journey of faith. When I moved to Hoover in 2009, the families of Cross Creek welcomed me, helped me grow in my faith, and provided a loving environment to exercise my gifts by serving in children’s ministry and hosting women’s Bible studies. From 2015-2021 my family and I served as church planting missionaries in Peru. Returning to the Birmingham area in 2022 I was eager to connect more deeply once again with the women’s ministry at Cross Creek. I am thrilled to help facilitate a space where spiritual sisters can encourage one another, spend time together, and stir one another up toward love and good deeds as our theme verse states (Hebrews 10:24-25). Please feel free to reach out to me. I would love to help you find the ways to connect at Cross Creek!
