Events
Thousands of real lives are being impacted and changed forever with the hope of Jesus Christ through your involvement and financial partnership with Crossroads Church. With just a few days left in 2009, I would like to encourage you, if you can, to make a special Year-End Gift to Crossroads. Your gift will allow us to finish the year strong and continue to make an eternal difference in our community and the world.
I’m glad we’re in this together! Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
Christmas is our time to celebrate good news of great joy. Two thousand years ago, in the village of Bethlehem, Jesus the Savior was born; and he changed everything. His gift is for all people. So let’s gather our family and friends and experience Christmas at Crossroads on December 23 and 24. Thousands will be here to encounter the Love, Joy and Peace found in the presence of Jesus and the people of God.
And let’s be honest, we also come for the great music, John Smith’s Christmas message, Silent Night by candlelight, hot coffee and everything else we love about Christmas at Crossroads. See you then, and bring your friends.

What: David Ward Memorial Service
Date: November 3rd
Time: 11:00am
Place: Crossroads Church
Occasionally something difficult happens in our church community that we think you would want to know about. This is one of those times. This past Tuesday, Dr. David Ward, very unexpectedly passed away. David was a very integral part of our worship team, He is featured on our worship CD’s. We had many God moments in our worship services as David ministered to us through music for 9 years. It was hard to say Good Bye to David and His Family a year ago when they moved to North Carolina. And this is even harder.
There will be a memorial service at Crossroads Church, Tuesday, November 3rd at 11:00a. Everyone is invited.
David delivered many of the babies of those on our worship team, and really served as the Crossroads staff team doctor. He had a tremendous heart for God and love for people and for connecting people.
In honor of Dr. David Ward, we are offering a free MP3 download of the song Speak To Me.
