Why?

Crossroads was started by 11 friends for people who had given up on church but not on God. 25 years later, there are tens of thousands of us literally spread out all over the world.

It’s amazing that we can be one Church no matter where we live. But wouldn’t it be nice to meet those amazing people from all over the world IN PERSON sometimes too?

Let’s do it.

We know it can be lonely if you’re the only one in your city. So we’re gathering for a powerful weekend packed with community-building, spiritual activation, and the restful reset you didn’t even know you needed.

It’s going to be 100% fun, 100% meaningful, 100% family-friendly, and 100% bad at math. All meals, experiences, and even childcare are on us. All you have to do is get here.

  • WHO:
    • For Anywhere community members who do not live within driving distance of a local site.

  • WHAT:
    • Meet new friends. Learn “How To Crossroads Anywhere” with new experiences and ways to engage. Hear from key staff like Kyle Ranson, Andy Reider, and more. Experience Crossroads worship in person. Worship in person and refill with God in whatever way you need most. (And get the best that Cincinnati has to offer—amazing food,custom-designed kid experiences, and more.)

  • WHERE:
    • Cincinnati, OH—We’ll meet in two different Crossroads locations. See the recommended accommodations list in the FAQ below.

  • WHEN:
    • Friday night July 19-Sunday afternoon, July 21. Come as early as 5pm on Friday for an optional happy hour. We’ll officially start with dinner at 6pm, and worship at 7pm on Friday. We’ll end Sunday afternoon at 2pm. (If your travel arrangements don’t allow you to make it the whole time, it’s OK to come late or leave early.)

FAQS

Is this kid-friendly?
YES. A huge part of mastering life as a follower of Jesus with children is learning how to grow our kids spiritually. One of Anywhere’s big goals for the year ahead is training parents how to include our kids in our experiences with God. We’re dedicating intense focus to help you activate your kids spiritually AND we’re giving you lots of kid-free time to receive yourself.

Here’s what to expect:

  • Friday, we’ll start with a kid-friendly welcome happy hour and dinner. There will be mom-chosen food in Crossroads Oakley that’s easy to keep your kids with you if you want, or hang with your kids in a space full of games and experiences designed to help your kids have a blast with others.
    • The main event will wrap up at 8pm, so you can get your kids to bed if you have little ones. Or if you want to keep hanging out during the Happy Hour, we will be in the kid-friendly atrium at Oakely.
  • Saturday, we’ll be at Crossroads Oakley all day. Some sessions are kid-friendly, and when it’s not, we’ll have an environment designed for them to have fun and learn about God. We’ll have indoor and outdoor time (so they won’t be cooped up all day.) We’ll even have dedicated nursing mom and napping baby rooms for anyone who needs it.
  • Sunday, we’ll just have breakfast together (kid-friendly) and then go to a Crossroads service. Kids can be checked into Kids’ Club. After services, we’ll do one more meal together before you head home.
