Launch an ESL or Adult Literacy Program

A staggering amount of adults in the US cannot read or speak English at a proficient level. Combat this issue by providing English-as-a-Second Language and adult literacy programs at your church. Spread the word a few weeks in advance of the launch by passing out fliers in the community and telling church members to spread the word. Purchase easy-to-use curriculum (preferably with teacher instruction manuals included) and gain permission from the publisher to make photocopies of the lessons. Host the classes one night a week and offer them for free, if possible. Ask volunteers to commit to a 6-week period of teaching and split the students into groups based on proficiency.

Cross Church: The Courage to Step Out

Pastor Jaime Loya was intent on spiritual truths becoming a reality in the lives of everyday people. Hearing a message on a Sunday morning is meaningless if that message is not lived out all week long.

Doing Life Together

The practice of “doing life together” can inspire people to endeavor great things and to live in ways that can transform individuals and culture.

Transformational Faith

Our faith is what forms the grid by which we understand and process reality. It is our main operating system; the means by which we approach everything else.
