About Crosspoint City Church

Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus. WE WILL NOT WAIT.We have a four part strategy in order to accomplish our mission:GatherWhen we gather the goal is simple: To celebrate Jesus, have our lives transformed by his Spirit, and leave better prepared to be the church God’s called us to be. We approach every gathering with great intentionality believing the songs we sing, the messages we preach, and the stories we share should honor God and move us toward our mission. Gathering together weekly is both biblical (Hebrews 10:24-25) and critical to our health and unity as a church.ConnectAs people created in the image of the Triune God, we were never meant to live in isolation, but community. Community ensures that we grow spiritually, experience a sense of belonging to the local church, and bear the image of God rightly in the world (John 13:35, John 17:21, 1 John 4:11-12). Since this is the case, our goal is to get every member of Crosspoint connected into a group for authentic relationships, spiritual growth, and mission.EngageJesus came into this world on mission in pursuit of lost, broken people to restore them back to God (Luke 19:10). He then left that mission to us, calling us to go, baptize, and teach in order to make new followers (Matthew 28:18-20). This means every believer is a full time missionary in those places where they live, work, and play. In light of this, our goal is to equip every member of Crosspoint to engage the Jesus mission through serving, giving, and going so that people far from God can know and follow him.MultiplyFrom the beginning, it has been God’s will for his people to be fruitful and multiply (Gen. 1:28), and the same still applies to the Church today (Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 1:8). It’s only through multiplication that the family of God grows and the Kingdom of God advances. Therefore, we must place an emphasis on multiplying at all levels: disciples, artists, leaders, teams, groups, campuses, and even new churches. Since this is true, we will invest generous amounts of time, money, and effort into disciple making, leadership development, internships, and church planting.
