We believe in the next generation! CrossPointe Student ministry is a place for MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL students to discover Jesus Christ through passionate worship, relevant messages and caring relationships. Our heart is for every student to know, enjoy, and glorify God through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
