Hey CR!!

I have some good news to share (besides the fact that I went fishing last week and caught 26 bass in about 3 hours!). Are you ready for the “really good” news? 

Austin Walker has accepted an offer to join our staff as the Campus Pastor of our Cottage Grove Campus! This is the culmination of many months of prayer and searching nationally.

Austin and his wife, Emma, and two daughters, Maisy (6) and Betsy (3), are actively looking for a home in Cottage Grove right now (not as easy task in today’s market). They will be making a huge move here from Little Rock, Arkansas. Please join us in praying for just the right home for their family as they settle into life in CG. And let us know if you know of a property that might be available!

We are hopeful that Austin will be able to join our staff sometime in July. When he does, we will begin to put all the pieces together as we move toward a fall re-launch of the CG Campus. If you have an interest in being part of the re-launch team, please let us know. We will also be hiring a few other staff members as the re-launch date is established and draws near (Kid’s Ministry, Worship, Production). 

Why are we (and the Walkers) taking this big step? Because we believe that Cottage Grove needs a church like Crossroads. There are plenty of churches, but not enough churches that put a welcome mat out for those who are de-churched or un-churched. That’s our “secret sauce” and we can’t wait to see how God moves in the future! 

Thank you for giving SACRIFICIALLY so we can re-launch a church. It’ll take hundreds of thousands of dollars but it’s worth it if ONE MORE person meets and is changed by Jesus. 

Hope to see you this weekend for Week 3 of our series, Life On Purpose!
