During the service we sing songs before and after the message. Singing may come in a variety of styles, but mostly it is quite contemporary. The words to each song will be projected on a screen, but you do not have to sing if you don’t want to.

There might be a collection during the service. Don’t feel obliged to give if you don’t feel like it. We are not after your money. We hope you can engage with what is going on in the service in the first and foremost place. There will be many more that don’t give in the money collection baskets, as many give through the bank. You won’t stand out if you let the basket pass by.

Because Crossroads as an international church is a transient place with many people coming in and going out, we welcome you visitors and newcomers. Sometimes that means that we ask if there are any visitors in church and if they would like to intriduce themselves. If you like to, you can stand up and say your name and where you come from. If you would not like to, then we do nothing. Welcome Cards are available for you to fill in if you would like someone to contact you or you would like to receive our email newsletter. We also invite everyone to stay after the service for coffee/tea/other drinks. You will not be singled out in any way and no one will make you must stay for coffee.

Our services start with music and songs, then there is a short welcome section with prayer and the day’s Bible reading. We preach a message for approximately 30 minutes. Then we close the service with another song and prayer. On the first Sunday of a month we also serve communion. 

Our messages are based on a passage from the Bible and often part of a teaching series. They are intended to be encouraging, thought provoking and make a difference in your life.

At the end of the service, there is an opportunity to pray with someone if you want in the ‘prayer corner’ by the windows. Perhaps you would like to pray with someone about something from the church service, or maybe there’s a need that you have in your life that you would like someone to pray with your about. Our prayer partners are available for you after each service but there is no pressure whatsoever to use them.

After the service, you are invited to a cup of coffee or tea with some little snacks in our Amici Coffee Bar. 

There are separate programmes for kids from 0 to 15  (crèche, Sunday school classes and groups for teenagers), where they can engage with faith and the Bible in their own way.

Children and youth can make their way to their groups when it is announced during the church service, somewhere 10 or 15 minutes into our time together.
