Engaging our city, nation, and world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Crossroads Baptist Church is a community of God’s people that defines itself and organizes its life around, its real purpose sharing Jesus Christ with the world. In other words, Crossroads’ identity and reason for existing is missions; the mission that Jesus Christ commission His followers to carry out.

“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe alll things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” – Matthew 28:18-20

We believe that the Church is sent into the world to continue that which Jesus came to do, in the power of the same Spirit, reconciling people to God. Jesus said, “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you” – John 20:21.
