FOLLOWING JESUS

A Journey Worth Taking
Following Jesus is a journey worth taking, and no matter where you are on the path—curious, committed, or anywhere in between—you’re invited to join in.

At Crossroads, our purpose is to see lives transformed through loving relationships with Jesus, each other, and those who don’t know Jesus yet.

Enjoy the journey!
