Expanding Kids and Community for Eternal Growth

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.

Our Sow to Reap capital campaign is a bold step of faith focused on expanding and investing in two of our most vital ministries: Kids and Community. We believe that creating safe, engaging, and theologically rich environments for children lays a foundation for lifelong faith. At the same time, we recognize the growing need for welcoming, functional spaces where all of us can gather, connect, and grow in discipleship. Sow to Reap will allow us to strengthen the ministries that shape the next generation and deepen our church family’s relationships with one another.

This is not just about walls, rooms, or new spaces. It’s about creating environments where kids encounter Jesus, where guests feel seen and welcomed, and where community groups can flourish. It’s about sowing into something far greater than a building—we’re sowing into lives, into legacy, into eternity.

As Jesus said in John 4:35, “Lift up your eyes and see that the fields are white for harvest.” The harvest is ready. But before there is a harvest, there must be sowing. That’s what this campaign is all about. Beginning in September, we’ll walk through four phases—Turn, Sow, Water, Reap—a process grounded in Scripture and in prayer.

Together, we’ll invest in two focused areas: our Kids Zone, a full renovation designed to disciple children in a vibrant, safe, and wonder-filled space; and Community Space Enhancements, which include both interior and exterior improvements. This combined project will provide welcoming, functional spaces for groups to gather and grow, while also transforming our building’s exterior to better reflect the warmth, hospitality, and excellence of our church family.
