What to Expect
We understand that new experiences can be intimidating. That is especially true when visiting a church for the first time. We think that if you know what to expect before you come, you will be able to enjoy your experience all the more. So when you check out CrossWay, you can expect...
A Casual Friendly Atmosphere
Here our focus is on God and people. Jesus said God wants people to worship him in "spirit and truth," so authenticity is important to us. Come as you are and you'll find a church who accepts you and challenges to connect with God and discover what you can become.
People Just Like You
You'll find people from a variety backgrounds, at different places on their spiritual journey, with one thing in common: an honest search for God and his divine design for their lives.
A Safe Place to Check Out Biblical Christianity
No secret here. We believe Jesus Christ is the most significant personality in history. You won't find any hidden messages or veiled references. What you will find is an environment that welcomes the seeker and the skeptic. Your questions are okay here. You will not be subjected to emotional manipulation or pressure, just clear and compelling communication of biblical truth. We know you must make your own choices for them to be meaningful.
Music that Rocks the Soul
Be prepared to hear music that sounds familiar to you... the kind of stuff you would listen to on the radio. Sing along if you wish, or sit back and enjoy the tunes. We sing to modern worship music.
Creative Worship
We use a variety of methods for communication: multimedia, video, drama, music and conversation. And in everything we do, we strive for excellence.
Teaching that Hits You Where You Live
The Bible is the most relevant book ever written. It is still the world's all-time best seller. You might be surprised how timeless the topics really are. Because Jesus stated he came to give "life to the fullest," we strive to teach the principles that make that possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I wear?
Whatever makes you comfortable. Most people dress casual. Jeans are the norm. The only standard in the Bible is modesty.
What is the music like?
Loud enough to drown you out, but not so loud you bleed from your ears. Seriously, we sing and listen to music that is primarily in the modern worship genre. Cutting edge. We take seriously the instruction to "sing a new song unto the Lord." Much of the music we sing can be previewed at our resource page.
Why a movie theatre?
Why not? It offers low overhead, perfect acoustics, easy setup, a non-threatening atmosphere, a big screen, and that cool popcorn smell.
No, I mean why don't you have a building of your own?
Because the church is not a building, but a body. We will probably get a place of our own someday, but to be honest, that's not even on our radar screen now. We're just focused on God and people. It's the people, not the steeple that make up the church.
What are your beliefs?
We teach the doctrines of biblical Christianity. Our statement of faith can be read on the beliefs page. (We are not a cult.)
Who are your leaders?
Jesus Christ is our leader. You can get aquantied with out pastors on the leaders page.
Who is welcome here?
Anyone (regardless of age, ethnicity, where they've been or where they are on the spiritual journey) who is hungry for truth and wants to experience an honest relationship with God.
