“The Crossing began as a group of searchers seeking authentic relationship with each other and God in a modern, dissociated world. Starting from a premise of radical welcome, the Crossing quickly grew into a church cherishing music, ancient ritual, and modern vernacular. As the Crossing took shape, it grew fully into an Episcopal congregation, and the Eucharist became a central part of worship.”
