ABOUT US

Cross Roads Began in 1992

Cross Roads Community Church was chartered as a United Methodist congregation in 1992, with just 37 charter members.

The Original Building was Built Without Debt

The land the present church stands on now was obtained in 1996. Even before digging the footings, members spent a week walking and praying over every square inch of their new property. The congregation pitched in to complete their worship space (the present Fellowship Hall) in 1998, without any debt. The original 37 members had grown to 100. By 2004, the Cross Roads Church family had grown to the point of needing an addition, which became our current sanctuary in 2005.

Celebrating 30 Years

Today, Cross Roads Community Church is home to over 120 members and many more summer visitors who enjoy our nearby lake country. Ministries, ministers, and members may change over the years, but the heart of the ministry remains the same. “Go, and make disciples of all nations, teaching and baptizing.” God willing, we look forward to many more years of ministry together!
