"...Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people..." -MATTHEW 14:14-21
Loaves & Fishes is an invitation to lift our eyes and step forward in faith together.
In the Gospels, the disciples saw a need they could not meet on their own. All they had were five loaves and two fish—small, ordinary, and clearly not enough. But when they placed what they had into the hands of Jesus, He multiplied it. Everyone was fed. Everyone was filled. And there was more left over than when they began.
This season at Crosspoint is not just about improving spaces or meeting practical needs. It is about trusting Christ with what He has already given us and offering it back to Him as an act of worship. Loaves & Fishes is our shared step of faith, preparing room for ministry today and positioning this church for the mission God has ahead.
Together, we bring what we have. Jesus does what only He can do.
With hope for what God will do,
Pastor Dave
From an unlikely beginning during a worldwide pandemic in 2020, we have watched God write an extraordinary story through Crosspoint Church. United by our mission "to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of His name among every nation," we have grown in love, faith, and purpose, as individuals and as a family.
Now we are embarking on a journey that wil chalenge us t o grow together in biblical generosity.
Use this section for the main campaign purpose and the overall financial or ministry goal.
This section should show the future-facing priorities clearly and simply.
Support the church’s current and near-term ministry needs.
Invest in what is needed to serve more people effectively in the future.
Invite the whole church into prayer, commitment, and ongoing involvement.
Loaves & Fishes is a two-year, church-wide journey of faith designed to increase our gospel impact. It is our collective response to Christ’s invitation to trust Him with what He has already placed in our hands.
This campaign supports both our ongoing ministry and key investments that will strengthen discipleship, expand our reach locally and globally, improve accessibility, and steward our church home wisely. More than a financial effort, it is an opportunity to cultivate a culture of biblical generosity: an expression of gratitude, obedience, and trust in God.
Our prayer is that this season will produce spiritual growth across our church family: deeper trust in God, greater unity, and joyful obedience.
Practically, our leadership has identified clear priorities:
• Sustain and strengthen our existing ministry and mission over the next two years
• Increase investment in disciple-making and leadership development
• Improve accessibility so more people can fully participate in worship and community
• Restore our reserve fund to prepare for unforeseen needs and future opportunities
• Steward and upgrade our facilities to better serve generations to come
Each goal serves one purpose: to help more people know Christ, grow in Him, and make Him known.
The church will benefit in 3 ways:
• Strengthening the Gospel Ministry -
By enhancing spaces for worship, discipleship, fellowship, and outreach so our church family can thrive, and our neighbors can encounter the goodness of God.
• Expanding the Gospel Reach -
By intentionally developing leaders, expanding disciple-making pathways, strengthening local and global mission partnerships, caring for those in need, and removing barriers so more people in Rockford and beyond can clearly hear, understand, and respond to the life-changing message of Jesus Christ.
• Multiplying the Gospel Influence -
By laying a strong and sustainable foundation for long-term ministry: equipping the next generation of disciples, restoring healthy financial reserves, improving accessibility for all, and stewarding our facilities wisely so Crosspoint can boldly and faithfully proclaim Christ for decades to come.
Because God has been faithful.
From our beginnings in 2020 to today, He has grown this church in love, unity, and mission. We believe this is a moment to respond to His faithfulness with faith of our own: to prepare for the ministry He has ahead.
Pray. Ask the Lord what He would have you bring. Then step forward in obedience and joy.
Loaves & Fishes is not about equal gifts: it is about equal surrender. When we place what we have into the hands of Jesus, He multiplies it for His glory.
