Expanding the vision...
Traditional in our Theology but Modern and Untraditional in how it is presented. We understand God’s word never changes, but the way we communicate and present His word to the world must constantly be changing. At Fellowship of the Crossroads we will use every creative resource available (video, creative illustrations, humor, drama, dance, “secular” music, a mix of expository and application style teaching, mime…ok maybe not mime… but you get the point) to communicate Biblical truths in a way that helps everyone. no matter where they are at in life, to understand the Bible and apply it to their everyday lives. Better today than yesterday, better tomorrow than today, and by better; More like Jesus.
What We Believe/Statement of Faith
Fellowship of the Crossroads is a non-denominational Christian church. We believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose again, and we worship God as the creator of the universe.
Through our relationship with Christ, we believe that we are forgiven and redeemed. It is our mission to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and share this faith with the world.
1. About God
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
2. About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co–equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
3. About the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual gift when they are saved. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily.
4. About the Bible
The Bible is God’s Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error. It is inerrant (without error in its original form).
5. About Human Beings
People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God’s creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin.” This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life.
6. About Salvation
Salvation is God’s free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self–improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness, can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self–ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
7. About Eternal Security
Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ, the true believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. If you have been genuinely saved, you cannot “lose” it. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by self–effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives us this security.
8. About Eternity
People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God, is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him, is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.
Through our relationship with Christ, we believe that we are forgiven and redeemed. It is our mission to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and share this faith with the world.

Where we are headed...
A church that establishes a tradition of being untraditional where change is expected and embraced.A church that lives out the concept that it is not “Religion” it is a “Relationship.”
A church that is more into Christianity than church-ianity. We will strive to create a culture more focused on helping non-church people who did not grow up in the church feel welcome than creating a place where church people feel comfortable.
A church that brings people in, builds them up, trains them to use their gifts, and then sends them out to use them.
A church of small groups that actually embrace the open chair concept and are constantly looking for new people, both inside and outside the church, training and building new leaders and birthing new small groups instead of just creating “holy huddle,” closed groups.
