Couples and parents

Across is CCF's family ministry, working to make Christ-centered family discipleship the priority of every home. Marriage classes, parenting workshops, and Dgroups that meet with kids in the room.

When we meet

Dgroups through the week, classes each term

Getting here

What it's like

Coming to Across

01

Marriage courses each term

Eight weeks on communication, conflict, money, and intimacy. Couples sit at their own table and nothing is shared with the group unless you choose to.

02

Parenting workshops

Practical sessions by age band, from toddlers through to teenagers, run by parents a few years ahead of you rather than by theorists.

03

Dgroups with kids in the room

Several groups meet with children present and take turns watching them. Nobody has to find a sitter to grow.

04

Family Sundays

Once a term the children stay in the main service and the message is built for the whole household, followed by lunch together.

Dgroups

Groups in this community

A community is where you meet people. A Dgroup is the handful you actually grow with.

Need to talk to someone about your marriage?

Pastoral conversations are private, handled by the pastoral team, and never shared with anyone else at the center.

Talk to someone

Questions

The things people ask first.

If yours is not here, ask anyone at the Welcome Center or send us a note.

Ask a question
Do both partners have to come?
For the marriage course, yes, it is built around couples working through it together. Everything else is open to one of you alone.
What if our marriage is in trouble?
Come, and also talk to someone directly. The pastoral team handles that privately and it never goes on a list.
Is there childcare?
NXTGEN runs alongside Sunday services, and most weekday courses arrange childcare. Ask when you register.

New to Across?

Come to a gathering without telling anyone first. Check when we meet, and we will look for you at the door.
