A Church By Your Side
An Evening with Community Outreach
Wednesday, September 30
6:15 – 7:30 PM
in the Fellowship Hall

What does it look like for a church to truly invest in the community around it?

Join us for A Church By Your Side, a thought-provoking conversation with Coz Crosscombe about what it means to be good neighbors—and to choose genuine, long-term investment in the places we call home.

Drawing from his own experience, Coz will explore how the local church can contribute to the development, growth, and sustainability of its community, and challenge us to think differently about what it means to show up, build relationships, and stay for the long haul.

This conversation has been shaping the way we think about community outreach at Cedar Springs, and we think it will resonate with you, too.

Come be inspired to see your neighborhood—and your church’s role in it—with fresh eyes.

Coz Crosscombe is the Project Director of The Well Training in Australia and has 25 years of experience in mission and ministry in challenging urban communities. His work focuses on helping churches build genuine relationships, develop local leaders, and engage their communities in sustainable, transformative ways. You may recognize Coz from our 2026 Mission Conference, where he joined us as one of our conference guests.
