At Cross Creek, we believe God uses His Word and His people to bring clarity, comfort, and hope. Personal Ministry of the Word offers a space to talk with a pastor, elder, or ministry leader—opening the Bible together and seeking the Lord’s help in the real situations of life.

Whether you’re walking through sorrow, wrestling with a decision, helping someone else with a challenge, or simply in need of prayer and perspective, this ministry exists to remind you that you are not alone.

What to Expect

Personal Ministry of the Word is a one-on-one conversation with a trusted church leader. These meetings are grounded in Scripture, guided by prayer, and shaped by care for both your heart and your circumstances.

Most meetings take place in Pastor Chris’s office or another quiet room at the church. Each leader offers specific appointment times throughout the month, which can be reserved online.

A note for women: If you would prefer to meet with another woman for counsel, we will do our best to arrange that. For any meetings between women and one of our male leaders, another church staff member will be present onsite.
