Welcome to Crossroads!

The Crossroads Christian Church family is made up of people from many different backgrounds but we all have one thing in common: we love God and He is at the center of all we do! We believe the Bible is God’s infallible holy Word, inspired by the Holy Spirit and we enjoy coming together to hear His Word and sing praises to Him. Our doors are open to everyone, whether you’ve been attending church your whole life or this is your first time. At Crossroads, you are invited to come however you are. No need to pretend or put on special clothes, we have a casual environment with open arms for everyone. We hope that you will feel uplifted and encouraged to worship however the Holy Spirit leads you…whether it’s standing with your arms raised, clapping along with the music or sitting and spending time in prayer, we want you to be comfortable as you worship and praise God. We’re glad to have you with us this morning. Be sure to join us for donuts and coffee between services!

Every other month we host a Closer Look Class where you can learn more about Crossroads’ beliefs and philosophy, how it got started and its plans for the future. The next class will be on April 29th, 9 am - 1 pm. Childcare and lunch will be provided. You can sign up online (About Us > Closer Look Class) or on the Connection Card as the date gets closer.

We would like to get to know you! If you are comfortable doing so, please fill out a Connection Card by clicking on the link in the section below. If you have any questions about Crossroads, please stop by the Welcome Center. We hope you enjoy your morning here with us!

· A cry room (The Living Room) is available next to the main bathrooms for parents with young children. You can watch a live stream of the service in this room at 9:15 and 11 a.m. (A private room for nursing moms is located in our toddler nursery.)

· We offer a nursery for infants and toddlers and children’s programming for kids 3 years through 5th grade during our 9:15 and 11 a.m. services. Students in grades 6-12 have their own worship service upstairs in the Loft at 11 a.m.
