We Are A Lighthouse Church
There are many United Methodist Churches and clergy that have disaffiliated from the United Methodist denomination. The Leadership Board at Crosspoint has spent time in prayer, research, discernment, and conversation over the past year. At this time, Crosspoint will remain a United Methodist Church.
Crosspoint is now a Lighthouse Church. This means that Pastor Mike and some members of the leadership board attended trainings to help us be ready to welcome United Methodists, and others that may have parted ways from their home churches due to disaffiliation. We will continue to be a church that works to Love God, Love Others and Serve others as we grow closer to God and others, and to be open to any and all people. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Pastor Mike, or anyone on the Leadership Board.
Online Worship adds a YouTube Option
We know worship is an important part of our life of faith. We also know that not everyone is able to join us for in person worship. At Crosspoint we offer both in person and online options for worship. We currently Livestream our worship service on Sunday mornings at 10:30 on www.facebook.com/crosspointumcjacksontownship and https://crosspoint-umc.freeonlinechurch.com/ We are now adding YouTube as an option. You can follow this link, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHzj5ssDhZfPeAaJYNjnBrg/videos or you can go to YouTube and search CrosspointUMC. Once on our channel you can subscribe. By subscribing you can receive updates whenever we go live with a new video. If you have any questions, you can contact Pastor Mike at 330-696-6231.
Giving
Crosspoint relies on the generosity and giving of each of us to continue to support the operation of our facilities and the ministries of our congregation. Even though our ministries are making adjustments during this time, we will continue to rely on our offering to help us share God’s love in practical ways. Many share their offering on Sunday while we are in worship together. Since not everyone is meeting in person, we have made online giving available. If you wish to make a one-time donation or set up a recurring donation you may do so by following this link (https://crosspointumc.breezechms.com/give/online). You may also mail your donation to the church (9687 Portage St. NW Massillon, Ohio 44646). If you have any questions about your giving moving forward, please contact Katy Hoffman (330-417-0263). Thank you for your genericity to Crosspoint.
