Crossroads is affiliated with the Assemblies of God located in Springfield, Missouri. Today there are more than 12,300 churches in the U.S. with nearly 3 million members and adherents. There are more than 63 million Assemblies of God members worldwide. Though these churches are affiliated with the Assemblies of God denomination, each church is locally autonomous and self-governing.
Church membership is not a requirement to participate in any of our serving opportunities; however, a clear Christian testimony of salvation through Jesus Christ is. Ministry volunteer applications are available anytime upon request to the Pastor.
We offer ministry to and activities for children and youth. Ministry opportunities are available every Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. for all children. Our youth (grades 6-12) have a youth Sunday School class in the mornings at 9:30 a.m. We have a youth service that meets on Wednesday nights at 7:00 p.m. as well as ministry and activities for girls (Girls Ministries), boys (Royal Rangers), and Rainbows for the younger ages.
It is asked that parents or guardians pick up their children following Children's church on Sunday morning or Rainbows, Missionettes, or Royal Rangers on Wednesday night. A nursery attendant is provided for all services.
At Crossroads, you will see people dressed in many different ways. Some dress casually, while others may wear a suit and tie. You will see people in everything from jeans to suits and dresses.
Pastor Jim's preaching style is evangelistic with Bible teaching. Wednesday night is a Bible study
Our congregation is diverse, and so is our music style. Our praise and worship style includes both contemporary choruses and old hymns with the sole focus being lifting praise to a holy God.
On Sundays all children remain in the sanctuary until after the song service in order to encourage them to learn to worship. After the song service, they may attend the main worship service with you or participate in one of the age-specific ministry opportunities that we offer. Sunday evening evangelistic service does not have a children's service at the same time. Everyone is in the sanctuary.
Women serve in various capacities at Crossroads including leadership. The Lord calls and Crossroads recognizes them to serve in many ministry capacities. The Bible utilized women in many areas of ministry and Crossroads does as well.
Crossroads values and encourages the use of all of the gifts of the Spirit noted in Romans 12, Ephesians 4, and 1 Corinthians 12. It is important to us that the vocal gifts (prophecy, tongues, and interpretation of tongues) be used in a manner consistent with Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians 14, with body edification and concern for the lost or unlearned being first and foremost.
