Upcoming Sermon
We warmly invite you to join us this Sunday at 10:00 AM as we gather for worship at CrossView Church (750 Highview Drive, Antioch, IL).
The Prayer That Changed Everything
Ever find yourself struggling with prayer? Wondering if you're doing it "right" or if anyone's even listening?
You're not alone.
This Sunday at CrossView Church, Pastor Mike Calacci will explore the prayer that has guided believers for centuries. When the disciples asked Jesus how to pray, He didn't give them a complicated formula—He gave them a relationship blueprint.
Join us April 6th at 10 AM as we delve into Matthew 6:9-13, where Jesus reveals what truly matters in conversation with God. No pretense. No religious jargon. Just authentic connection.
Whether prayer is your daily bread or you haven't attempted it in years, there's a place for you at our table. Come as you are to CrossView Church in Antioch this Sunday.
Because sometimes, the most profound truths come in the simplest words.
Worship Service Begins: 10:00 a.m. Location: CrossView Church 750 Highview Drive, Antioch, IL
Bible Memorization
We are focusing on memorizing key Bible verses corresponding to Pastor James’ sermon series “The Unfolding Gospel.” Memorizing Scripture is an excellent discipline for spiritual growth that allows us to focus our minds on God’s Word and so enrich our spiritual lives. This month we will be memorizing 1 Corinthians 15:54-57.

Fuel Youth Ministry Update
Our FUEL youth have been working hard to organize "Plates of Appreciation" – a thank-you meal for our local first responders.
On May 17 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., they'll be serving lunch to police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and their families in our gym. This is entirely a youth-led initiative. They're handling all the cooking, serving, and activities for the kids who attend. It's their way of showing appreciation to those who keep our community safe, while also learning what it means to serve others. While we're excited to share what they're doing, this isn't an event they need additional volunteers for or one the congregation is being asked to attend.
The youth have it covered, and they're eager to take ownership of this service project. If you know any first responders personally, please feel free to let them know they're welcome. Please keep our youth in your prayers as they step up to serve our community in this way.
