Pursuing a Peace-making Community

Vision and Flow

We are a Multi-Generational, Multi-Ethnic Church

We do certain things very well, but there’s still some confusion about how to do better what we already are.

Not how to cater to every group. But how to live out the Gospel together

To God’s glory

Need for a pastor/ Need for administration

Business Meeting / Flow/ Leadership Retreat

Community: Loving People Well for the sake of the Gospel

Peace-making, Hospitality, Not Judging, Righteousness, Not Partiality

Unity isn’t the word we use to describe relationships at CrossRoad. The popular concept of unity is a fantasyland where disagreements never surface and contrary opinions are never stated with force. We expect disagreement, forceful disagreement. So instead of unity, we use the word community.

The mark of community—true biblical unity—is not the absence of conflict. It’s the presence of a reconciling spirit. (From the article: Conflict above Ground: Building community out of controversy. )
