Fellowship

You’ll have several opportunities for fun and fellowship at CrossPointe. There are some events that we repeat every year, such as the Family Game Night, our Picnic & Pool Party, a Progressive Dinner and our annual Family Christmas Dinner. It’s also our tradition to have lunch together on every 5th Sunday of the month.

Soup Kitchen Ministry

The Austin Baptist Chapel (ABC) operates the “Soup Kitchen” at 908 E. Cesar Chavez, Austin, TX. A hot lunch meal is served from 11 AM to 12:30 PM every day except Christmas and Thanksgiving. CrossPointe volunteers normally serve the 1st Saturday of each month with 5-6 volunteers.

The ABC mission is to live out the teachings of the Bible, God’s Holy Word. ABC’s goal is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ at all times using words when necessary. ABC recognizes each person as God’s creation and seek to minister to all people without discrimination.

CrossPointe volunteers meet on the first Saturday morning of each month at CrossPointe and depart for the Soup Kitchen at 9:45 AM by carpool (due to limited parking) and return not later than 1:15 PM. We arrive at 10:15 to finish any last minute light preparations (making sandwiches, dipping up deserts, etc.). We fill trays with food and serve a cafeteria style lunch from 11 AM-12:30 PM. From 12:30-12:45 PM we do a light clean up.

The ABC Soup Kitchen served 108,586 meals last year, a 19 year high. The Soup Kitchen also delivered over 9000 food boxes to 4 church food pantries around Austin. The ABC “Soup Kitchen” ministry receives funds by individuals and churches with a passion for missions in the local area. A devotional and prayer is offered each day and on Sunday morning’s two church services take place. A weekday Bible study is also conducted.

This ministry opportunity is great for families (minimum age 10), singles, seniors, or anyone with a servant heart.
