Our Mission

"Bringing transformation to people at the crossroads through the love and ministry of Jesus Christ."

Keys to our mission:

BRINGING -
We reach out to others and bring them into the love and ministry of Jesus Christ so that their lives can be transformed. We have a ministry of bringing and including.
John 1:44-46

TRANSFORMATION -
The goal of the gospel is to be like Jesus. A transformation comes into our lives when we submit our lives to Jesus Christ and ask him to be the Lord of our life. We embrace the power of God to transform our lives into a people he can use to change the world.
Romans 12:1-2

CROSSROADS -

The crossroads are more than the two that meet at County Roads 4 and 5. We all come to crossroads in our lives where we have to choose. The first crossroad is whether to trust Christ with our life, but along the journey of life we encounter many crossroads in which we will choose to follow Christ our choose another road. We desire to be a place where people experience help and direction at the various crossroads we all encounter.
Joshua 24:15

LOVE -
Love is the primary motivation for our ministry. Love brings us into relationship with God and with one another. It is the reason we come together for worship. Through God's love for us revealed in Jesus Christ and our love for God, our world will be transformed and we will help people at the crossroads see the truth and help them discover who God is in the midst of their decision.
Matthew 22:37-39

MINISTRY -
Our ministry is to meet people at the crossroads with the love of Jesus Christ and offer hope through the transforming power of God to live a new life with an eternal purpose and perspective.
Matthew 28:18-20

JESUS CHRIST -
He is our reason for existence and the foundation for all we do.
John 14:6



Our Motive

Our motive is love. Jesus declared that all that has been commanded of us could be completed if we could do two things: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." And the second is like it: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 22:37-39
