About Us
It won't take you long to see what the heartbeat of this church is.
Our outreach ministries are second only to our love for God and our desire to experience Him in and through community as well as through His word and through prayer.
Whether it is helping to feed the hungry, clothing the needy or befriending the discouraged, here at Crossroads we believe that God does His best work when we allow Him to work through us.

Surrounded by community, colleges, and business, Crossroads really is just that, a Crossroad.
There is just as much the need to reach the single parent within our community as it is to give a hand up to the homeless and comfort the broken. An intentional faith based ministry that offers not only second chances but an opportunity to reach our up and coming generation with effective hands on experience. Physically and Spiritually.

Here at Crossroads we believe in relationship.
Not just our relationship with God and each other,
but a growing relationship between Christ's church, His body, and community.
We believe that with God, all things are possible.

Vision:
That all would see Jesus in us and follow Him on a journey of Discipleship.
 

Mission:
 Crossroads UMC exists to make a difference in people’s lives.
Intentionally loving our neighbor, building relationships, worshiping God in and through community.

Purpose:

Crossroads is a United Methodist of the 21st Century.
But what exactly does that mean?

Well very simply it means that we are a church that believes that God is always doing something new.
And we embrace the opportunity to follow and serve.

 

  

 

 

What We Believe:

God:
Creator of all things, ruler of all things.
Eternally existing of Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit.
Co Equal, together One.

Jesus:
Son of God, Lord, Savior.
Born of a virgin birth. The Word made flesh, God, came to live here on earth and to offer His life upon the cross for all.
Resurrected after 3 days demonstrating His power over sin and death.
Ascended into heaven to sit at His Father's right hand and to intercede for us.
Will return one day to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords upon the earth.

Holy Spirit:

Sent into this world to remind everyone of their need for Jesus Christ. However He also exists within the heart of every Christian upon receiving Jesus' forgiveness, providing opportunity and guidance in how we live out our faith and life. And He gives us gifts in order to Glorify God and to serve one another.
