What it’s like

at Grayslake (Crossroads)

While each campus has its own unique feel and atmosphere, what makes Christ Church us is the same at every campus. Our Crossroads campus is a bustling campus with lots of events for all ages. Come see us at Grayslake (Crossroads). We’re saving a cold brew coffee just for you!

All of our Christ Church campuses are very involved in our communities. We have many local partners in North Chicago and around our campuses that we support financially and physically, including Renew Communities, which builds affordable homes in North Chicago.

Lighthouse Kids → Kids (0-3rd Grade)

Each service, we have special age-appropriate classrooms for your kids, ages newborn through 8th grade, to participate in. For kids up to third grade, they get to participate in Lighthouse Kids. Your kids will be busy, in both large and small group settings, learning about Jesus in interactive ways.

Fleet 45 → 4th-5th Grade

For our fourth and fifth graders, we have a special group called Fleet 45. In their group, they continue to learn about God, but they also incorporate serving, leadership and spiritual growth into their weekly programming.

The Cove → Middle School (6th-8th Grade)

Middle schoolers are in The Cove, which builds on Fleet 45. The same emphasis on serving, leadership and fun are incorporated, while digging deeper. Extra retreats and mission trips help enrich these lessons into real-life experiences!

High School (9th-12th Grade)

SHYG (Senior High Youth Group for grades 9-12) is all about reaching high schoolers and developing them into wise, life-long followers of Jesus. Students are invited to participate no matter where they are in their faith journey.
