From all of us at CrossWay Community Church, Welcome!

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about us. As you visit our website, we hope you catch a broader glimpse of what CrossWay Community Church is about. Foremost, it is about the Cross of Christ – what God has done for us through His Son Jesus Christ and His sacrificial death on the Cross. It’s also about people – people who have experienced forgiveness and discovered a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.

You may be searching for a church home. Or you may simply be searching for answers to life’s questions.
No matter what your situation, we would be privileged to share with you what God is doing among us as individuals, and as a church. Please let us know how we can best serve you.

Our Pastors
In his first letter the apostle Peter writes, “So I exhort the elders among you… shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight.” The pastors of CrossWay Community Church seek to provide care for the community of believers according to Scriptural mandate. They seek to “set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity” (1 Timothy 4:12). Each of these men believes he is called by God to lead in this local church and is committed to the sound teaching of God’s word.
