Adults

Participate in a 4-week experience to help you find your next steps here at Journey's Crossing.

If you are new at Journey's Crossing or you'd like more information, connection, or you are are interested in membership at JC, please attend our NEXT interactive experience offered on Sundays at 11:30am in Room 105.

Step 1: Connect (1st weekend of every month),
Step 2: Community (2nd weekend of every month)
Step 3: Change Makers (3rd weekend of every month)
Step 4: Compassion (4th weekend of every month)

Most people like to start with Step 1, but you are welcome to start at any point. Know that there is no NEXT experience on the 5th weekend for any month that has a 5th weekend. NEXT meets in the Conference Room 105, located down the hallway to the left when you enter the building.

Sign up at this link: https://journeyscrossing.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/406/responses/new

Please note:

1. Attendance: NEXT has been designed in a way that it makes it easy for you to complete all 4 steps. If you find you are unable to attend class during your regular time you may come back the following month for the class you missed.

2. Regarding children 5th grade and under: The Next experience is an environment for adults and teens only. Please use our children's programs for a fun and educational experience geared specifically for them as well as our Nursery. This will help preserve the adult content of some of our table discussions.

3. Dogs/pets. To respect people with pet allergies and eliminate distractions, no animals are permitted at Next other than your own service animal (Wearing proper identification/fully trained).

Don't anticipate a stale class, taking notes all the time. These sessions will be filled with laughs, new friends, and training on how to follow Jesus in the 21st century. We are looking forward to getting to know you!

Journey's Crossing: A Christian Church

The health of your soul isn't just a matter of saved vs. unsaved. It's the difference between deep, satisfied spirituality and a restless, dispassionate faith.

We meet at @Journey's Crossing,
12900 Cloverleaf Center Drive, Suite A, Germantown, MD. 20874
Meet at 7:30pm from June 18-July 30, 2019
Book: "Soul Keeping" by John Ortberg

The health of your soul isn't just a matter of saved or unsaved. It's the hinge on which the rest of your life hangs. It's the difference between deep, satisfied spirituality and a restless, dispassionate faith.

In an age of materialism and consumerism that tries to buy its way to happiness, many souls are starved and unhealthy, unsatisfied by false promises of status and wealth. We've neglected this eternal part of ourselves, focusing instead on the temporal concerns of the world?and not without consequence.

Bestselling author John Ortberg presents another classic that will help you discover your soul?the most important connection to God there is?and find your way out of the spiritual shallow-lands to true divine depth. With characteristic insight and an accessible story-filled approach, Ortberg brings practicality and relevance to one of Christianity's most mysterious and neglected topics.

This group will enjoy ballroom dancing & healthy food. Everyone will bring healthy snacks and share the recipes with the group.

July 7,14,28, August 4,11, 25, September 1

How a Single & Parenting group works
At a Single & Parenting group, you'll participate in video seminars that explain how to:

Wisely encourage your kids to obey
Help your hurting child
Eliminate debt
Deal with verbal onslaughts
Figure out what your emotions are telling you
Plus, you'll develop meaningful friendships with other single parents, who, like you, are tired of hectic mornings and chaotic evenings, the kids fighting, and a never-ending to-do list.

Take the guesswork out of parenting alone. Join our group this Summer!

Please join us weekly every Thursday at the church for an amazing adventure beyond the pages of the Bible to uncover and discover the ancient world of christianity and the Bible as seen from a different perspective.

Through a series of videos, documentaries and lectures, we will journey through time to explore new ancient discoveries, old world relics, and hidden treasures.

The series are led by various hosts and scholars that have dedicated their lives to passionately narrate the Bible and tell the story of Jesus and his disciples. The Bible will come to life as history is revealed through these remarkable treasures, stories, landmarks and archaeological discoveries.

We've planned a trip to the Bible Museum in July and if you so choose, and you want to take your spiritual journey further, we will be traveling to the Holy Land to see some of these sites and landmarks up close and in person.
