Mission Statement (Our values)

Crossroads Church

Crossroads Church exists to bring glory to God in making disciples through Gospel-centered worship, service, and community.

The mission of God and the Church

The mission of God is that his Glory fills the earth as waters cover the sea. The best way to reveal this glory is through the message of the Gospel of his Son. Through the Gospel of Christ, the mercy, forgiveness, justice and love of God is fully seen. The church exists to glorify God by making disciples through the Gospel of Christ. Since the mission of the church and God's mission are connected, the church must be oriented around Glorifying God through the Gospel.

Crossroads Mission

As part of the Church, Crossroads mission is to bring glory to God in making disciples through Gospel-centered worship, Gospel-centered services and Gospel-centered community.

Gospel-centered?

We are Gospel-centered because the Gospel of Christ is the heart of his revelation to us and the the substance of his redemptive plan for mankind. The church never graduates from the Gospel; the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation from the beginning to the end of the Church's life.

What is a disciple?

A disciple is a person who has been reconciled through the Gospel through the new birth and is subsequently growing in grace and love for God and others.

Gospel-centered worship

Gospel-centered worship is understanding the Gospel and its impact upon every area of our life and responding in love. This is nurtured through church services and small groups. The services feature preaching, teaching, singing, praying, baptism and communion that are centered around the Gospel.

Worship is assigning value or priority. We express worship in every facet of life with our words, time investments, and actions. We choose the object of our worship. Either we worship God or his creation by where we assign our values and priorities. Our goal is to worship God with every area of our life and not confine worship to a time and place.

Gospel-centered service

Gospel-centered services is a response to the Gospel; and as the Gospel transforms us, we begin to look outwardly instead of inwardly. Our faith finds expression through works of righteousness. We serve our community from a principle of love and gratitude.

Gospel-centered community

God created personal relationship with him through his son, but also created us to live in community. Gospel-centered community is a fellowship of believers that is characterized by self-sacrificing love, kindness, humbleness, and meekness toward each other. These acts of love is accomplished by responding to Christ's love in the Gospel. This love is our motive and power. Gospel-centered community is also characterized by turning away from a culture of slack, sin, and selfishness. Everything is truly done to the glory of God through Christ.
