Who We Are

Crossroads is part of a network of independent, interdenominational Christian churches that work to bring together individuals from diverse walks of life. When Jesus prayed in John 17, He urged His followers to unite around the truth in order to evangelize the world. This prayer serves as an example for our churches today.
There are over a million members in over 5,000 congregations of independent Christian churches in the USA.

What Kind of Church Crossroads Is

We are aware that many people encounter various life crossroads. Some people must make difficult choices involving their family, friends, finances, and religious beliefs. It is challenging to know what to do or which direction to take when life is complicated and chaotic.
Our church wants to support people in finding purpose in their lives by creating an encouraging, loving, and gracious environment. Crossroads Christian Church is a place where individuals may come and learn (at their own pace) about God's unlimited grace and His promise of a great life now and forever. We know that God's Word offers focus and direction to our lives.
