Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer
waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it
gets the early and late rains. You too be patient; strengthen your hearts,
for the coming of the Lord is near.

James 5:7-8

The apostle Paul likens ministry to planting, watering, and reaping.

Spiritual farmers must be patient to see the fruit of their labors. Nothing good grows overnight. CBC’s sowing will require great patience, selflessness, and sacrifice as our building undergoes renovation. But the cultivation of these characteristics will strengthen our faith and unite our hearts.

What is Sow to Reap?

At Crossroads Bible Church, we believe in the transformative power of God’s Word and the calling He has placed on us to invest in the next generation. Our theme, “Sow to Reap,” is rooted in the timeless principle found in Scripture: when we faithfully sow into God’s Kingdom, He produces a harvest that goes beyond what we can imagine.

Sow to Reap is a capital campaign about sowing seeds of faith, love, and opportunity into the lives of children, youth, and families. It’s about preparing the soil for a vibrant spiritual harvest that will impact not only our church but our community and the world. By investing in improved facilities for next-generation ministry, we are creating a legacy of discipleship that will extend for years to come.

Sow to Reap will launch in September 2025 to renovate our Kids ministry area, expand our community spaces, and redesign our external spaces.

Kids Zone Renovation -  We will be recreating our Kids Ministry area to build a safe, vibrant, and nurturing environment where our children can thrive in their faith and deepen their knowledge of Christ.

Community Space Enhancements - We will add several new community areas to allow us to foster caring community and accommodate our growing church.

External Improvements - We will modify our external building areas to create outdoor community spaces, improve our entrances, and care for this facility that God has entrusted to us.

When will we find out more about Sow to Reap?

This fall, we will be sharing more about about Sow to Reap during our Sunday Services - September 14, 21, 28, and October 5, 2025. Save these dates! You won't want to miss!

When will construction start?

We will begin construction in the fall of 2025. The Kids Zone Renovation will be the first phase and will be completed by the summer of 2026. The Community Space Enhancements and External Improvements will be completed by the fall of 2026.

We will be installing eight portable classrooms to be used for our older kids and utilizing our MAC classrooms for Kids Ministry during the construction phase. This will allow our ministry to function fully during the remodel.
