Mission Leadership Team


The Missions Leadership Team would like to thank our church family for supporting our mission outreach teams financially as well as by covering them in prayer. At Crossroads, we are committed to following the Great Commission given by Christ to minister in our area, state, country and around the world. This year we have already sent teams to Puerto Rico and Kenya, as well as individuals to Brazil and Haiti.

This summer there will be teams going to South Africa, Brazil, Mexico, Ethiopia, West Virginia and the NC mountains. There will also be another trip to Puerto Rico this fall.

The teams have been working very hard to raise financial support to make the trips possible. If you would like to help financially with any of the teams, please make checks payable to Crossroads Church and put the name of the team on your check. The South Africa, Mexico and Ethiopia teams are still raising support for their trips. If you would like to have a complete list of team member names and dates of travel, the lists are found on the prayer table in the back of the Worship Center and the Missions table in the corner at the map. Thank you again for your support. For more information about the teams, please visit

One Heart Summer Bible Study with Jan Darnell


Join us this summer for an 8 week bible study on Sunday nights from 6:30-8:00 starting June 14th at Crossroads Church facilitated by Jan Darnell

A study of Matthew 24...."As In the Days of Noah"...Jesus told some disciples that His coming would be like a "thief in the night." He said it would be like the days of Noah and Lot when people were doing ordinary things until all of a sudden...the gavel of God's judgment hit the sound block. At that point, there was no turning back. When the Lion of Judah breaks the 7 seals on the book of judgment mentioned in Rev. 5, then a series of events are set in motion that will not subside until the Word of God is accomplished. We are not to be afraid of these days but we are to be prepared. Jesus left us with some "heads up" signs of His coming. He also gave us some instructions to follow and encouraging promises for the times we are living in. Come when you can! Matthew 24 lends itself to different topics so if you have to miss for vacations, etc., then you will not be lost or fall behind.

Little or no homework....just fun, fellowship, study and blessing by the Word of God! There are 3 ways that you can register for the class

1) Register at the church office weekdays from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm 2) Register on Sundays at the One Heart table in the Narthex

3) Register now by sending an email to
Leigh Garcia with your name, address, and phone number.

The cost of this class is $10 and can be paid on the first day of the class. Please contact
Beth Vanover if you will need childcare.If you have any questions, please contact Kathi Elligan.
