The Magnify generosity initiative will be from December 2023-2025. Unlike traditional building campaigns in which people give both to a ‘General Fund’ and a ‘Building Fund’, Magnify is a one-fund initiative.
We believe that it is all ONE MISSION that we’re on – the mission to change the world by making disciples who make disciples. So we have decided that our gifts to Crossroads go into one fund, even in these seasons of ministry expansion – to celebrate the totality of our generosity growth as disciples of Jesus.

• First and foremost, we are asking you to pray and seek God’s leading on what He is asking of you. Prepare your heart to hear Him, and then listen to what He says.
• Engage in a Life Group during this season, if you are not already.
• Spend time in personal reflection with God in the Magnify Workbook.
• Have great conversations with your spouse, your family or others who are on this same journey as you.
• Pray over what God would have you experience in this season.
• We are asking that you make a sacrificial commitment to gospel-centered generosity— whatever it is that God leads you to do. Follow His leading.
• Finally, we ask that you prepare to be amazed. It is an awesome God we serve. He is moving in huge ways, and we anticipate an unprecedented impact from our collective Magnify commitments—something only God can do. Please mark your calendar for our Advance Commitment Night, November 9, and prepare to experience a life-changing worship service that will forever be remembered as a defining moment for our church and for our own faith.

We are asking that everyone make a two-year commitment. The fulfillment period for your commitment will begin with our “First Big Give” on the Sunday of December 3, 2023 and will culminate in December of 2025.

Magnify is a one-fund initiative meaning all of our giving is united, just like our mission for Jesus. However, we have region-specific projects that will be designated as priorities for each location. The Board will determine exactly when and where funding will be allocated to accomplish Magnify’s goals, though we all get the benefit of joined giving with the ability to fund projects at each location that might not otherwise be possible. We call this the family win.

If you are someone currently seeking to make payments to pay off debt right now, we commend you for making progress on that. And you should continue to do so. We would be happy to help you in this journey and/or to get you signed up in our FreedUp class. Please contact us if you need assistance with this or if you would like to speak with a budgeting counselor, and we would be honored to help.

Magnify was crafted specifically with you in mind. Magnify is a “one fund” generosity initiative, meaning that it is different from a traditional capital campaign where you are called to give an extra gift above and beyond your normal giving. Magnify is a simple call to sacrificial, gospel-centered generosity for absolutely everyone. If you have never given before, this is your chance to get in the game with a committed sacrifice.

Welcome! Magnify is about the vision for our church and our personal discipleship in giving as followers of Jesus. We believe that the local church is one of the most compelling missions to give towards, and we would really love for you to make us your home and join us in Magnify. If you are ready for it, this is a perfect time for you to put a stake in the ground and make this your church. We want you to join in on this adventure of living out the mission God has for us.

We have several options for giving. One is our giving envelopes that are provided each Sunday in all of our services. You can also give online at www.xr.church or give through the Crossroads app that is available on both iOS and Android devices (search “Crossroads Pittsburgh”). There are many other Crossroads Churches in the U.S., so double check you are giving to yours! To explore other non-cash ways to give, visit our website at www.xr.church/give or email giving@xr.church. Thank you for your generosity!

We need to reach the next generation for Christ; and feasibility studies show there is a large need in North Fayette and Upper St. Clair for high quality child care centers.

The cash surpluses from these academies will help pay our building costs and debt, allowing general offerings to go to other ministry opportunities.

Great! Email us at contact@xr.church and we’d be happy to help!
