We are Crosswalk Youth Ministries. We are connected to Lutheran Church of the Cross in Altoona, Iowa. A growing church of around 3,000 members whose mission is to "Make Disciples". Our purpose at Crosswalk YM is: (T.E.A. Time) "T"ransform- to become Transformed from the darkness of this world and the lure of satan and become mirrors used to reflect the light of Christ into that darkness. "E"quip- To help youth discover their God given gifts through service, education, discussion, prayer, and encouragement. We then desire to develop those gifts through spiritual growth and relationships. The final step is to help them to use those gifts in service to God throughout His Kingdom and to live a life reflecting their choice to serve God. "A"ffect- we use those gifts to "GO OUT" and positively affect the lives of others so they, too, may begin the process of being transformed.- Koinonia
Our Vision is simple:
Fellowship as One- Ephesians 4:11-16, Acts 2:42-47
Grow in Faith- 1 Thessalonians 1:3
Reach Out- Luke 5:18-20
CYM TV is part of our youth ministry that is fully used during AFTERdark, which is our student led/inspired worship every Wed. night at 6:30 pm. During this time we worship with songs, hear a "My Story" testimony from a student or two, celebrate brithday's, share announcements, and get inspired/encouraged/laugh with videos from our CYM TV Team.
All are welcome to join!!!
A Prayer to Humbly Serve This Maundy Thursday - Your Daily Prayer - March 28
Would you let Jesus wash your feet? Isn't it hard to imagine lifting our dirty toes to the King of Kings? None of us are worthy of his care and attention; yet in Christ's perfect love, he gives us nothing less. Does your human heart struggle like mine to serve others humbly as Jesus did?
