Crossroads Core Values
Our core areas of ministry are: Leading People to Faith in Christ, Making Disciples, Fellowship, Service, Stewardship, Growth
​
1. We have a life-giving relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
John 3:16-18
2. We live by and express God's grace. God's grace makes a life-giving relationship with Him possible. Our own acts of grace can change lives, and acting in grace keeps us from ruining our own life.
Romans 3:23-24 and Ephesians 4:32-5:2
3. Our church is an outpost in the Kingdom of God. Therefore we have a "kingdom view" of seeing the world as Jesus saw it. This view helps us serve Him to "the ends of the earth."
Acts 1:6-8
4. We live a servant lifestyle. We are God's servants and practice servanthood by choice.
Luke 17:1-10
5. We promote healthy families. Families are God's creation and chosen plan for making the world work and for transmitting the values of His Kingdom.
Genesis 2:22-24 and 1 Timothy 5:8
