History of The CROSSing
The CROSSing began as a small prayer group of eight people in the basement of a Moscow, Idaho home. This group gathered to seek the heart and direction of God. After three weeks of prayer they started a Sunday evening prayer & Bible study time for their families. The following week a couple showed up at the door and asked if they could join the Bible study. The next week the same thing happened as another family arrived. This continued until the group had to move from the basement to the main room of the house while at the same time starting a ministry for the children of the families attending.
While all this was happening many teenagers began attending and it became quite evident that Jehovah had plans to reach the heart of young people in the community. On Thursday, September 11th (9-11) of 2003 a community youth ministry was birthed and was named The CROSSing. A local church allowed The CROSSing Youth Ministry to meet in their sanctuary. The youth group began to grow and God was changing lives.
By January of 2004 the group had outgrown the house and its basement. Prayer remained the heart of the ministry. After much prayer 12 people from the group met to decide what Jehovah wanted them to do next. They began looking for a new location and within weeks one was found. On Easter night of 2004 the group moved into an old funeral house and held its first Easter eve celebration. With no money, yet with Jehovah’s direction, they left the house and trusted God to provide.
Within three months the group had outgrown the funeral house and began a new search. An empty “old grange” was located and another step of faith was taken. This time not only did the rent go up but God directed them to start a morning Celebration. In July 2004 the group moved into the “Old Grange” on Main Street and The CROSSing youth ministry joined them as well.
The Old Grange eventually became too small for the Sunday celebration, and God opened up six more opportunities and locations throughout Moscow – from a shopping mall to a tarp/tent in the parking lot of a church to the Kibbie Dome (football stadium) on the University of Idaho campus.
The CROSSing continues to be led by God. We currently meet at our 10th location – the building we purchased in 2008 on 715 Travois Way. The ministries offered through The CROSSing are God’s ministries, and our intention is to bathe those ministries in prayer and walk in obedience to the directions of the Holy Spirit.
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me! -John 10:27
