Niceville Campus eLetter
From our Lead Pastor
Hello Crosspoint!
Summer is here, and we're stoked! We've got so much to be excited about. I've been the Mission Pastor here for A LONG time and this year is by far our biggest year ever for Short Term Foreign trips. We have 83 people traveling and this summer we will be in Mexico (with our students and families), Budapest (helping with English Camp), Guatemala (twice!), and Spain (running a sports outreach camp). That sounds like disciples who are stepping out to be helpful neighbors and Kingdom Builders!
And that doesn't even count our students who will be part of our 14th year of Mission Northwest (sign up link for students - sign up link for volunteers) where we partner with local nonprofits to serve our community! We're excited to be working with friends like The Pavillion Nursing Home, Westonwood Ranch, Emerald Coast Autism Center, The Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance, Heart of The Brid, The Pearl Project, and MORE!
One of the most challenging parts of my job as Missions Pastor is properly communicating and celebrating all the things that the people of Crosspoint do locally and globally. There's just too much to mention! Suffice it to say, it makes me incredibly proud to see so many people offering their unique gifts and experiences to make our community and our world a better place, for the sake of God's Great Kingdom!
Tyler Fuller, Missions Pastor

MAY PRESCHOOL FOCUS | GOD LOVES ME
This month is all about introducing preschoolers to God – the One who loves them with a love that lasts forever. When it comes to preschoolers and what they know about God, there are a few faith skills we want to make sure they have in their little red wagon. We want every child to know that they can hear from God, pray to God, talk about God to others, and live for God. We hope they will pull these faith skills around, wherever they go, for the rest of their lives. Then they can go with confidence because they have the faith skills needed for whatever comes their way.
MAY ELEMENTARY FOCUS | TRAINING CAMP - TRAIN, PRACTICE, GROW
Commitment is part of God’s nature and how God interacts with us, keeping promises and putting plans into action. God’s commitment to us is just one of the many reasons we can trust God no matter what. And because God’s promises and plans come true in Jesus, we can be with God forever. We reflect God’s character when we make a plan and stick to it. This month, we’ll help kids discover that one of the best plans they can make is to commit to an ongoing relationship with Jesus. We hope they commit to practicing their faith by reading God’s Word, praying to God honestly and consistently, talking about God with others, and living for God in how they show love throughout the everyday.
