Crossroads 37

What is Crossroads 37?

Crossroads 37 is a partnership of churches in Indiana with one clear mission. That mission is to launch 37 new expressions of church across the state of Indiana.

Guiding Principles for Crossroads 37 Network…

Reaching people far from God is your why.
While the primary focus of C37 is to start 37 new churches, the deeper why that drives this focus is reaching people who are far from God. C37 network churches will be guided by a deep burden to reach new people for Jesus. And, the churches we start will share this core
passion.
Prayer is our priority.
Any significant move of God always begins with prayer. This is way beyond a words on a page. It is our number one guiding principle. Our work together will be guiding by a praying people who have a deep desire to be in sync with God’s heart for multiplication in Indiana. 
Generosity is our culture.
C37 is founded and will be driven by a culture of generosity. The participants of our network and the churches we serve will lead with a loose grasp on the resources that have been entrusting to us. When God invites us to share our time, money, and people we will do so sacrificially. It will be from this wealth of resources that we will live into the mission of C37. 
Collaboration is our practice.
The mission of C37 is much bigger than any one church. Launching 37 churches in Indiana will require a great collaboration. We firming believe we are better together. Therefore, our practice will be to collaborate as we start new reproducing churches across the state. 
Discipleship is our engine.
We understand that our mission will require an engine. We are also aware that we need an engine that can fill our leadership pipelines with called and qualified multipliers who can effectively start new churches. C37 churches and new churches we start will be deeply committed to focusing on making disciple that reaches multiple generations of reproduction. We believe these intentional pathways for disciple making will create an engine that will lead to the fulfillment of the C37 mission. 
Churches that start reproducing churches is our expectation.
Seeing the C37 dream come to life will demand a growing number of churches across the state to become reproducing churches. It is our expectation that C37 churches and those we start ask and answer this pressing question, how will we multiply? When God provides the answer(s) to this question, it is our expectation that C37 churches will faithfully multiply starting churches that start churches.
Kingdom measurements like those below are our scorecard.
  • Salvations
  • Baptism
  • Disciples made
  • Leaders made
  • Multipliers sent
Partner Together

The 4 R's Will Guide Our Partnership

We believe these four dynamics have the power to form a kingdom impacting partnership between pastors, churches, and Indiana Ministries. They will also frame our ministry together as we collaborate for multiplication of 37 new churches.

Relationships

The foundation of the C37 network will be relational in nature. It will be a network of relationships between pastors, leaders, churches, and Indiana Ministries that will serve as an accelerator for our mission to multiply.

To accomplish our mission, there will be a significant need for financial and people resources. Our culture of generosity will drive the accumulation of the necessary resources to fulfill our dream of starting 37 new churches.

We believe the best leaders are prepared leaders. To fully prepare leaders for multiplication and to also fill the leadership pipeline with multipliers, we will work to build multiple places of residency around the state. The churches that have residencies will provide a real-time learning environment for future multipliers and those preparing to multiply. 

Our commitment to multiply has been clearly stated and outlined above. It is also the expectation that participant churches in the Crossroads 37 network be reproducing churches. We desire that to be the case for established churches and those we start.

CR37 is a group of Indiana Ministries pastors who are friends on mission.

Our vision is simple: to see every Indiana Ministries church engaged in the mission of starting 37 new expressions of the church across Indiana. Beyond that, we believe every church should be asking one key question:
How will our church multiply?
CR37 exists to resource pastors as they lean in to answer that question.
