Who We Are

Our Mission

To explore our identity and unique purpose within God’s kingdom by learning to hear His voice and do what he says

Our Core Values

  We are a church that values:

  • Geographical, conversational, context-reliant, biblical preaching (Gen. 1:1-Rev. 22:21)
  • Creative and engaging forms of worship that prompt people to participate
  • “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.” 

God will never leave us nor forsake us. He will also never leave us as we are. He loves us too much to let the lies and destructive patterns continue to control us. (1 Sam. 22:1-2 & Ps. 46:1-3)

It starts with being honest! Are we willing to verbalize to the Lord the things we have believed about ourselves, about Him, or about others (beliefs that have severed relationships and left us feeling lost)? When we are honest, then God can correct that narrative. We call this confession & repentance. (Mark 1:9-15, Ps. 57, Ps. 142)

As we are transformed through Christ, we also begin to partner with Him and others who are on the same journey. This is what it means to believe (to act as if it is so). (Mark 1:9-15)

We value real and authentic experiences that showcase our heart to be as invitational and disarming as possible. (Ex. 35:31-35 & Matt. 14:28-30)

The Church belongs to Jesus, not us. He doesn’t have to partner with us, but He chooses to anyway, and that’s pretty amazing! (Matt. 25:14-30)

It’s okay to walk with a limp while also being committed to growing in emotional, mental, relational, physical, and spiritual health. (Num. 6:4-9)

Worship is more than just singing. It’s about being willing to receive all God has for us. It’s laying down expectations of what we think should happen and, instead, becoming expectant for all that God can do in us and through us. It is about posture, not performance, in all aspects of our lives. (Gen. 2:15; Heb. 7:27; Gen. 24:26-27, 52; Ps. 34:1)

Sometimes God asks us to move before we see the miracle. We believe these are opportunities to trust He is at work, even if we can’t see it in the moment. (Josh. 3:9-13)

If you call Jesus “Lord & Savior”, you belong to a spiritual family no matter your age or stage in life! (Deut. 6:4-9)

How It Started?

Our Story

On Pentecost Sunday, May 31st, 2020, Crossroads Community Church in Nampa birthed a sister church—Crossroads Church—in Caldwell, Idaho. Both churches hold to some similar values (Refuge, Transformation, & Partnership) and EMC affiliation; however, as independent churches, both are unique in their methods, vision, and mission for reaching their particular communities. 

Over the last five years, God has brought together a group of people at Crossroads Church who are learning what it means to accept the mission He has given us and how to walk that out faithfully in our context. We are far from perfect, but we are discovering what it means to know our identity, both individually and corporately, in God's kingdom. We are meant to be part of His story, wherever that takes us!
