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. 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!

The Art of Marriage
When you were standing at the altar reciting your marriage vows, did you have any idea that marriage would be so complex?

It probably didn’t take you long to understand that your spouse is not as much like you as you thought. But figuring them out is more than just an equation. Marriage is more than a science; it’s an art. And like any art form, requires an investment of time, focused study and the right tools. If you need to soften some of the edges in your relationship, or want to brighten the landscape of your marriage, The Art of Marriage is for you.

This 6-session marriage event allows you to experience God’s design for marriage from expert teachers and humorous vignettes. You’ll graduate in a few hours better educated about your marriage, your spouse and yourself. Block out time in your schedule to attend The Art of Marriage.
The cost is $40 per couple if you register BEFORE SEPTEMBER 16,
$45 per couple after that.

Friday, September 22 from 7 - 9:30 p.m.
(registration from 6:30 - 7:00)
& Saturday, September 23 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
(continental breakfast at 8:30).

We are changing the name of our Jr./Sr. High Mid-week program to Catalyst.
In science, a catalyst is an agent that causes or accelerates change.

Our purpose and focus is to develop students to be a catalyst in the world around them. We aim to do this by helping students to build Commitment, Character and Community. Commitment to our Lord and his teaching
Character of the heart and soul revealed by decisions and actions
Community of believers to challenge each other to love and good deeds

Our Theme verse will be: Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

We will also be utilizing video curriculum from the RightNowMedia.org library so that If students miss a lesson, they can follow up with it at home.

Note: We are adjusting our start and end times this year to help students get home sooner.
