Your mission field is where you are

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age. "      - Matthew 28:19-20


"But you will receive power when the holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."     -Acts 1:8


"Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone."   -1 Corinthians 12:4-6

The Church

The body is made up of many parts. All are important and all are necessary for a healthy life. This is true for the Body of Christ at Crossroads as well!

We encourage you to seek out opportunities to serve at Crossroads and in your local contexts. No one has the relationships you do. No one can take Christ to the places you can.

  • Crossroads Children's Ministry

    One such opportunity is our Sunday Morning Kids Town. We would love to have you involved! The world around often uses children for its own purposes.


    To protect our children, begin a background check so we can get you involved right away! There is a cost to the background check. However, if funds are a problem, let us know so we can help.

    Please note: We don't show these backgrounds checks to everyone; only those that have to see it will.
