Web Site Help

We have tried to make the site easy to use for our visitors. At the same time, we have tried to make it visually attractive and use current technologies and best practices. The information here will help you experience our site as intended. 

Menus

The side menus are context-sensitive. The top items on the menu relate to the current page category or theme. 

Categorization - Finding Information

Ministries (a.k.a. programs, services, activities, etc.) are categorized two ways:

1. Information is categorized under Care, Equipping, Outreach, and Worship. 
2. Other information is grouped by life stage or role e.g. children, women, seniors, etc. 

Terms

Our Glossary and Orientation Guide explains some of the unfamiliar terms and Crossroads-specific items.

Macromedia Flash Player

We use Macromedia Flash extensively for the top banners on the pages and interactive features. Please download the latest version (6 or MX) from Macromedia. 

Fonts

Copperplate Gothic Light is the preferred font for our titles and side menu. It is included with Microsoft Office and other software. The site still works well with alternative fonts like the one you may be currently reading. 
  

Verdana is used for our regular text. If you use Internet Explorer, you probably already have it. The alternative fonts also work well. 
Download Verdana from Microsoft
