10x Territory Updates

As part of the 10X vision, we believe God has called us to 10 cities in 10 years. There are people in those cities whose language we speak and we want them to hear about Jesus in a way they can understand. In pursuit of that goal, we recently hosted two pop-up events in Indianapolis and Detroit.  These two cities are already home to many people who call Crossroads their church through our Anywhere community, and they’re ready for more. People who attended are joining groups and experiencing the RUN Journey together. We can’t promise these will be the next two cities for permanent Crossroads sites, but if God is doing something special there, we want to be part of it.

In November ‘24, thousands of people in our community went above and beyond regular giving – trusting God, and choosing to take a moonshot. Since then, Crossroads has been growing the territories God gave us. Our sites are growing to reach more people with the message of Jesus in a language they can understand. More young adults than ever are learning about Jesus through our collective nights and growing student spaces. And all at the same time, we’re working hard with our partners in Nepal to support, house, and provide education for victims of child trafficking. And expanding into prisons across the United States. This is our year to keep growing. Together, let’s expand the territory and make the moonshot.

10X in 10 years is all about making great strides for the next generation. Last weekend, over 3,000 middle and high schoolers chose to spend their weekend at Crossroads hearing Jesus’s message for their lives. Meanwhile, Mason has converted its chapel into an expanded students’ section to accommodate all the young people who come to hear God’s word. Crossroads Uptown has recently reopened on the University of Cincinnati campus - and, once a month, that same space hosts YA nights for adults to meet and share their faith. God’s word is taking root in the next generation, and your 10X impact helps make that possible.

“Let’s keep bringing heaven to earth:” Our February 10X update kicks off with the upcoming Real Encounters RUN journey taking the wonderwall to new places, complete with a recreation of the city of Phillippi in the works. Soon, tech upgrades at Mason and East Side (with other sites coming next) will help immerse large parts of our community in the Bible in new ways, while the new Mason student section just opened – showing the power of young people coming together in worship. Plus, Kyle shares more about how God is moving in and through our church as the 10X movement keeps making incredible returns for the people we serve.

Have you ever had something happen in your life, and thought: “This is too perfect of a storm to not be God?” Shortly after making an ongoing commitment to 10X, “life happened” to Zac and Kearstin – a couple who met Jesus, and each other, as college students at Crossroads Uptown. Through a challenging few months, Zac and Kearstin learned to let go, trust God, and truly practice their faith. Tune in to hear their story.
