about crossroads
family
friendly
We understand the concerns that parents have to ensure their children are cared for in a safe and nurturing environment. Our age-appropriate children’s and student ministries provide a wide range of activities designed to capture attention, foster development, and focus on important spiritual life lessons.
INCLUSIVE
What the world labels diversity is exactly what we think heaven will be like. People of every color, nation, and language are welcome at Crossroads and we are enriched by their presence and unity as we worship the God who made us all.
MULTI-
GENERATIONAL
Neither too old nor too young, the blend of ages represents a rich balance of maturity and enthusiasm. Regardless of age, Crossroads offers a range of fellowship and ministry activities for everyone.
VISION
AND
EXCITEMENT
Crossroads is a church with dreams bigger than its past. Equally important, the strengthening of Crossroads locally will enable us to contribute more to God’s work around the world.
REFLECTS GOD'S GRACE
Crossroads, like any church, is not perfect – we’re a work in progress. Yet by His grace we strive to know Him more, worship Him as we should, be conformed to His image, and reflect His likeness to those in our community.

THE THIRD PERSON OF THE TRINITY AND GIVER OF SUPERNATURAL GIFTS

Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8, 2:4; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31, James 5:14-16
