Frequently Asked Questions
During this two-year period, every contribution to God through Crosspointe Church is a contribution to our Deep & Wide initiative. Every aspect of the ministry vision God is calling us towards for the next two years will be funded through Deep & Wide. There will not be separate funds. Every gift made will go into the same fund and will be our Deep & Wide giving. Therefore, every weekend becomes a day to celebrate and contribute towards what God is doing in us and through us to help people go Deep & Wide on their journey with Christ.
First and foremost, we are asking you to pray and seek God’s leading on what He is asking of you. Prepare your heart to hear Him, and then listen to what He says. Engage in a Growth Group during this season, if you haven’t already. Spend time in personal reflection with God in the Deep & Wide Guide Book you receive. Talk with your spouse, your family, or others about what this commitment will mean for this next exciting season of your life. We are asking that you make a sacrificial commitment to gospel-centered generosity – whatever it is that God leads you to do. Follow His leading. Finally, we ask that you prepare to be amazed. It is an awesome God we serve. He is moving in huge ways, and we anticipate an unprecedented impact from our collective Deep & Wide commitments – something only God can do. Please mark your calendar for Commitment Sunday, November 12, and prepare to experience a life-changing worship service that will forever be remembered as a defining moment for our church and for our own faith.
Be creative as you explore ways you and your family can give towards Deep & Wide. You might have some stocks, property, or even some stored resources that God has blessed you with in the past that he just might be calling you to give out of during this time. If you have questions about non-cash generosity please email Mark McKinney at mmckinney@crosspointe.com.
We are asking that everyone make a two-year commitment, which is 24 months of giving. The fulfillment period for your commitment will begin with our Deep & Wide Commitment Sunday on November 12, 2023 and will culminate in December 2025.
Deep & Wide is a one-fund initiative, meaning all of our giving is united, just like our mission to help people find and follow Jesus. We are one church with one mission, and Deep & Wide will help fuel our mission as one. However, we have campus-specific projects that are priorities for us and our mission. We all get the benefit of joined giving when we accomplish our mission together.
If you are currently making payments to eliminate debt, we commend you for your progress on this important goal. You should continue to do so. If we can help you on the journey to become debt-free, please let us know. Crosspointe offers biblically-based budget counseling through a course entitled Financial Peace.
Being in debt doesn't give us a pass on giving, however. Giving isn't about what God wants from you, but what he wants for you. God instructs us to find a way to give with joy at all times, regardless of our circumstances.
We have several options for giving. One is to drop your gift in the offering buckets as they are passed each week during our worship service. The best and easiest way to give is to enroll in automated giving at crosspointe.com/give. Another option is to fill out a giving envelope (found in seat-backs throughout the Worship Center).
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Contact us at 714-777-3440 or email us at info@crosspointe.com.
