<p>Our world is full of people who hurt. They hurt others, hurt themselves, and get hurt. No one goes through life without some sort of hurt, habit or hangup. When we look at our hurting (or hurtful) lives, we may ask ourselves: "Where is God? Does He really care about my pain? And as for the hurt I’ve caused, is judgement God’s only response?"</p>

CrossWalk Church is a rapidly growing church in the Laveen and South Mountain Village areas of suburban Phoenix, AZ.  Starting with a single service and about 35 people in the fall of 2004, CrossWalk has grown to two services with nearly 500 people worshipping each Sunday. The core of CrossWalk's vision is to be a "church for unchurched people." That means that we're all about meeting people where they're at. This attitude toward church actually goes all the way back to the earliest days of Christianity. Paul, the apostle, talks about it numerous times, for instance, in his first letter to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 9:19-23, 10:31-33, 14:24-25). It's for this reason that on Sunday mornings we provide worship in "a casual atmosphere."
