Worship Re-Imagined

Our mission is to live lives of worship, celebrating God's presence in our midst. Worship is more than singing, it is an attitude of the heart, a way of life. This week, join us at 12:00 pm and 5:00 pm as we pause, come to stillness and become aware of the many reasons we can praise God with our hearts and lives.

Belonging Re-Imagined

Our mission is to pursue the Kingdom of God as a community. Crossroads is not a place where you become a member. It is a place you come to belong. You belong to us. We belong to you. We carry each others’ burdens, celebrate each others’ joys. We pray with one another and we pray for one another. True community is a gift and a challenge – both of which we have accepted. We are convinced that the way of Jesus can not be lived alone. This week, join us at 12:00 pm and 5:00 pm as we pause, come to stillness and thank God for our community.

Authenticity Re-Imagined

We believe Jesus called people to wholeness. Our mission is to provide space for the development of holistic followers of Jesus. We are intentional about creating avenues for people to bring their true selves into our community. Real spiritual movement is authentic and moves at the pace Jesus sets for each of us. We are here to encourage you, challenge you, coach you, inspire you and learn from you. This week, join us each day at 12:00 pm and 5:00 pm as we pause, come to stillness and prayerfully reflect on how you have experienced increased wholeness this past year, season and week

Future // Re-Imagined

We believe the gospel of Jesus Christ announced God's reign being extended in the here and now. At Crossroads we have been invited to enter the Kingdom of God in creative, selfless, life-giving ways. Sometimes this invitation comes in the smallest of venues - a conversation - and sometimes it comes in the biggest of dreams - a city renewed. This week we invite you to join us 12:00 pm and 5:00 pm as we pause, come to stillness and begin a conversation with God about how this week you might accept the invitation to enter the Kingdom of God.

Lent With Crossroads

Lent is a season within the Christian calendar that takes place during the 40 days before Easter. During Lent, Christians often participate in fasting - a form of weeding unnecessary stuff from our lives - intentional practices aimed at focusing the mind and heart on the meaning of Jesus for our lives, and pilgrimage.

This year, Crossroads invites all who are a part of our pursuit of the Kingdom of God to join us during Lent as we focus on the six elements of our mission. Each day during Lent we ask you to set a side a few moments at noon and 5:00 pm to pause, come to stillness and pray with us. Each week we will post reflections on our mission and how we intend to use our time of stillness during the week.

This website is simply another avenue we hope will help some of us connect throughout the week with our Lenten journey. It is a place for conversation, reflection, dialogue. All are free to participate. Questions are most welcomed. All post will be moderated.

As we head toward our communal experience of Easter, we pray this Lent pilgrimage will ready your soul for the next step Jesus is inviting you to take. Join the conversation.

History // Re-Imagined

Crossroads came to life out of a deep belief in the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures. We believe that the Scripture is a conversation between God and humanity, a conversation that continues to this day, one that all people are invited to join. In many ways, our fellowship, our ministries, our worship are all an expression of how we have joined this age old conversation. This week we invite you to join us at 12:00 pm and 5:00 pm as we pause, come to stillness and prayerfully reflect on how your conversation with God is taking place, how it might be taking place among the people around you, at work and at home. Join the conversation.
