Our Vision
“Our God is bigger than what is before us, and our vision is more important than any one of us.
Get connected to what Jesus is doing at Crossroads by taking our Next Steps Class. Jesus envisioned the church to be a place where we would run after Him together. We’re not perfect. You’re not alone. But together, let’s seek Jesus’ better vision for our life, city, nation, and world!
Love this vision?Come to Next Steps!/ BAPTISM/ MEMBERSHIP / SMALL GROUPS / SERVING
Next Steps is a 15-minute conversation that takes place after every service, each weekend at both our Newburgh and West Campuses beginning September 29 and 30. We will help you take your next step in serving, getting baptized, joining a small group or becoming a member at Crossroads.

MARRIAGE MENTORINGMarriage can be one of life’s greatest sources of joy. But it can also be a mysterious undertaking with many ups and downs. Making it work “til death you part” (or just to the end of the week) isn’t always easy. That’s why we’ve created marriage mentoring.

Our Vision
“Our God is bigger than what is before us, and our vision is more important than any one of us.
Get connected to what Jesus is doing at Crossroads by taking our Next Steps Class. Jesus envisioned the church to be a place where we would run after Him together. We’re not perfect. You’re not alone. But together, let’s seek Jesus’ better vision for our life, city, nation, and world!
Love this vision?Come to Next Steps!/ BAPTISM/ MEMBERSHIP / SMALL GROUPS / SERVING
Next Steps is a 15-minute conversation that takes place after every service, each weekend at both our Newburgh and West Campuses beginning September 29 and 30. We will help you take your next step in serving, getting baptized, joining a small group or becoming a member at Crossroads.
