What We Believe
As a developing community, the goal of Crossroads Christian Church is to make it simpler for individuals to move along the age-old routes that lead to God's abode. We aim to bring individuals together from different backgrounds as we go forward. We know God wishes to include everyone, whether they are Catholic, Baptist, nondenominational, or skeptics.
We do not profess to have a complete grasp of the Bible because we are still working on it. Furthermore, we do not imply that Christians must concur on all points of doctrine. However, we think that we can all develop a closer and more profound relationship with our Creator through group worship, conversation, and prayer. Read about some of our core beliefs.

About God as the Creator and Ruler
We believe that God made the universe out of nothing. He has the right to set the laws of life since He is the Creator and ruler, which gives Him supreme authority. (Genesis 1:1; Genesis 1:26-27; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:18)
About Jesus Christ
All things were created by God's one and only Son, Jesus Christ, who also possesses eternal life. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, became completely human, and was born to Mary, a virgin. He performed impressive miracles, preached the word of God, and led a spotless life. Only through his death can we be set free from our sins.
He has conquered death, ascended into heaven, and will one day return to take us along with Him. (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38; John 1:1; John 20:30-31; Acts 1:9-11; 2 Corinthians 5:21)

About the Holy Spirit
The Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are considered God. His mission is to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ's atonement. He also indwells every Christian from the moment they receive salvation. He bestows Christians with the ability to lead godly lives, comprehend spiritual truth, and the direction necessary to make decisions that please God.
The Holy Spirit will be able to guide every aspect of the lives of those who have accepted Jesus as their leader and forgiver. (2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:14-17; Romans 8:26)

About “The Trinity”
According to the Bible, there is only one living and real God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (The Trinity)—who is eternally triune. These 3 persons are united in their acts and goals, unique in their duties, and equal in their positions. (Genesis 1:26; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1-3; John 4:24)
About Eternal and Temporary Things
People were made to last a lifetime. Either we will live forever separated from God because of sin, or we will live forever with God because of repentance and salvation. Hell is to be cut off from God forever. Heavenly eternal life is to be perpetually in union with him. Heaven and hell are actual places where people will live forever. (John 3:16; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15)
About Human Beings
According to the Bible, humans naturally choose to disobey God and follow their own path (sin). Every human is consequently separated from God and doomed to spend eternity without Him. However, those who wholly rely on Jesus' death to atone for their wrongdoings and put aside their selfish wants will have a new connection with God and spend eternity with Him. (Jeremiah 17:9-10; John 1:12-13; Romans 5:6-8; Romans 6:9-10; Romans 8:8,13-14; Titus 3:5-7)
About the Bible
The Bible is the final authority for all matters relating to our faith and way of life since it is God's Word to us. The truth about God's love, fallen humanity, and God's provision to reconcile us to Himself through His Son, Jesus Christ, are all revealed in the Bible. The Holy Spirit provided supernatural guidance to the human authors who wrote the Bible. (Psalm 19:7-11, Psalm 119:105, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21)
About Salvation and Becoming a Christian
God offers us salvation as a gift, and we must accept it. No amount of self-improvement or good deeds can ever make up for our sins. Anyone can be delivered from the penalty of sin, which is an eternity in hell, but only if they place their faith in Jesus Christ as God's offer of redemption. The journey to eternal life with God begins when we reject our self-centered lifestyle and follow Christ.
To become a follower of Christ, one needs to admit to God that he is a sinner in need of God’s grace and forgiveness. He must firmly state his intention to give up sin and follow Christ. He must acknowledge through faith that Jesus died on the cross to atone for his sin and that he was raised from the dead to secure his salvation. And just as the Bible instructs, he must be risen to live a new life as a Christian after being buried with Christ in baptism.
In the Bible, every time a person accepted Christ, he or she was baptized (which means to submerge under water) as soon as possible. We do everything the same way because the Bible is our guide. (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 3:26-29; Acts 2:37-38; Acts 22:16; Romans 5:1-2)
About the Church
The Bible says that God has a single, global spiritual family (The Church). All of the members of this group have committed their life to follow God and entirely rely on Jesus' death to atone for the wrongs they have committed.
We also believe in smaller local spiritual families (The Local Church), which are a part of God's larger spiritual family. These families exist to glorify God by developing and deepening relationships with Him, being a part of His family, engaging in charitable activities, and making friends with others. (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:42-47; Ephesians 2:19-22; Hebrews 10:24-25)

About Living as A Christian
God wants everyone to have the best life possible, and the only way to do so is to live a Christian life. A person begins living a life of complete devotion to Jesus the moment they become a Christian. We fall in love with Him and desire to please Him in everything we do.
By doing those things, we start purging sin and growing more and more in the likeness of Jesus. However, God's strength within us is the only way to live as Jesus' spouse. To be able to do what is right, we therefore strive to cultivate a daily dependence on the Holy Spirit of God. (Philippians 2:13; Ephesians 5:1-21)
