Who We Are
Crossroads started as a brand new church on September 19, 2004. We are a non-denominational church committed to the preaching, teaching and living out of the Word of God. We believe that God is sovereign over all His creation including his role in salvation (i.e. commonly called The Doctrines of Grace). We are family-oriented which means we focus on Church as community and not a sum on individualized groups. We offer no polish or great performances. We are a group of average people trying to live out our faith with one another as best we know how and in complete dependence on the power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish it.

By claiming to be “Evangelical,” we mean that we are committed to the preservation and the communication of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Historically, Evangelicals have always been those who believe the Bible to be the inerrant Word of God containing the life-saving, life-transforming gospel. They have been the ones concerned to communicate this gospel (evangel) to the whole world.

We identify ourselves with the theology commonly expressed in the confessions of the 16th and 17th century as a result of the Protestant Reformation. The key ideas of the Reformation were captured in five Latin slogans:
  • SOLA SCRIPTURA – The Scripture alone is our final authority in every area of life because it is the Word of God;
  • SOLA CHRISTI – Christ alone, in his perfect life and atoning death in the sinner’s place, is the basis for our acceptance by God;
  • SOLA GRATIA – The grace of God alone in Christ, not works of human merit or effort, is how God saves sinners;
  • SOLA FIDE – Faith alone is the means by which sinners receive or appropriate this grace of God;
  • SOLI DEO GLORIA – To God alone be the glory for saving sinners and for everything else in this life and the life to come, eternal.

While not being formally associated with any Baptist denomination we are Baptistic in our practice and our polity. By using the name “Baptistic" we are stating our conviction that only professing believers should be baptized and become members of the local church. We believe, without reservation, that baptism is for believers only because of the commands of Christ, and the example of the early church. It also means that we hold to the autonomy of the local church. Each local church determines its own bylaws, procedures, beliefts, etc.
