Crossroads Christian Church

A wonderful place to learn about Christ’s love and meet others who share that love for Him. Fun area to be in as well!

I was looking for a church that I would feel comfortable in and that would teach God’s Word. I found it at Crossroads. The message each Sunday is relevant to our lives and scripture based. The people are so friendly and welcoming, and I feel renewed each week that I attend. I finally found a church that I can call home.

I attended Crossroads while living in Chicago, and since leaving Chicago, I miss it! Very welcoming crowd and knowledgeable Pastor. Numerous opportunities to serve in the local community through the church, and opportunities to participate in internal matters as well. If you are looking for a place to worship and support to live your faith every day, I strongly recommend Crossroads.

From the greeters when you first walk in that make you feel instantly welcome to their in-​house musician, Zach who will make you want to get there on time it doesn’t take long to realize you’re exactly where you need to be. The vibe is young and relaxed, casual and at ease. The message is simple yet a needed reminder: Christ’s love for us and our need to reflect HIs love to others.
Bring your coffee, wear your jeans and stay for donuts. You’ll be delighted to see an appropriately evolved service, congregation and pastor from your grandparents’ church. It is a young church, but there are sprouting families and some empty nesters, rounding out the audience and guarantees something for everyone.
If you’re looking for a church, look no further.

I just moved to Chicago and planned on trying out different Churches in the area for awhile. I got lucky on my first try with Crossroads. As a young person (23) I am naturally drawn to the new contemporary style Churches. However, I always feel a little uneasy about how the focus gets put so much on fun-​happy-​feelings-​for-​me rather than the truths of God’s Word. The service here was excellent and the sermon was really enjoyable. I always get frustrated that most churches seem to either sing old hymns or have a rock concert. The praise music here was awesome, the acoustic guitar was great with the newer songs. The best part was the congregation. Everyone there was so friendly. It was refreshing to see a Church growing and loving and so excited to do God’s work. I definitely plan to continue going.

My husband and I moved to Chicago and were looking for a WELS church in the area. This past year we finally became members at Crossroads. We love the service structure, the guitar-​led worship songs and the younger crowd. The focus of the church and the lessons are directly from scriptures and centered around the Christian faith. We look forward to being a part of the church as it grows in the upcoming years.
Very welcoming group if you are new to the area and would like to check it out.

I’ve recently become a member at Crossroads, which is a Christian church with roots in the Lutheran faith. The message is simple: Jesus Christ lived a perfect life to set us free from sin. Saved by his grace alone, we strive to be more Christ-​like and share the good news with everyone we can!
I’ve been a member of several different churches and attended countless others. Never have I felt as at home as I do at Crossroads. The first time I attended I was overwhelmed by what I found. The people are friendly, Pastor Mike is incredible, the music is great, and most importantly, the message is pure. Join us!

After years of disgruntled searching for a church that I not only felt welcome at, but enjoyed going to, I had nearly given up hope. Luckily, a friend of mine stepped in before that could happen, and introduced me to Crossroads. This place is a haven for any and all who come — it isn’t a place with a cookie cutter congregation, with cookie cutter services every Sunday. There are people of all shapes, sizes, colors and ages, all prepared to welcome you with open arms to the group. Pastor Mike is pretty awesome, and the really great thing about this church is that the people there are FRIENDS – they plan activities outside of church and always have a great time. After a year of attending services there, I’ve met many people who have now become some of my most trusted and cherished friends. All while gaining a greater knowledge of myself, the Bible, Jesus Christ, and my relationship with the Lord. This place is a blessing for anyone looking for a church they can call home, and mean it.

I have been to a lot of churches in my life and this is by far my favorite. Everyone is very warm and welcoming and laidback. The first thing that peaked my interest was that some of the people in church had beverages. I am always tired when I first wake up and I was very happy to be able to bring my Starbucks/​Diet Coke in with me after I realized that. People are not as dressy as they usually are at a lot of churches which I like because it is only 10 am in the morning after all. I haven’t been able to go as much this summer because I’ve been gone to TX most of the time, but I will definitely go back and feel at home. Additionally, the Pastor is very nice and is a good speaker. As was previously mentioned the music is to a guitar and not to an organ which I think is quite refreshing. The church is also a little different because it is in an elementary school on Montrose. I love this place!

Crossroads provides a great place to worship, grow in my faith and enjoy a community that supports sharing Christ’s love with the neighborhood we are a part of. The focus of the church is Christ and the what the Bible teaches. That said, its definitely not my parents’ church, with the guitar-​led songs and the fact that I am totally comfortable wearing jeans on a Sunday.
There are lots of ways to check it out or get involved beyond attending the service on Sunday morning, such as tutoring refugee kids, rec league volleyball, small group Bible studies, or fellowship events like karaōke.
If you are looking for a place to learn more about Christ and His love for all of us, I couldn’t recommend Crossroads highly enough.

I have been attending Crossroads for 4 years now. I moved to the city 6 years ago… and i have to say it is like a home away from home! i have met some of my best friends here and have been to so many other churches and this one is in a category all by itself. i have had friends come who are non-​practicing or from a different religion and each person has been amazed at how inviting the experience was and how friendly and accepting the people and the pastor are. Pastor Mike preaches in a way that really speaks to you. the church is filled with young professionals, students and first-​time parents. if not in to attending church per say, there are so many christian-​focused group activities going on during the month that you can ease yourself into. being part of crossroads has brought a happiness to my life and a fulfillment that i have not gotten with anything or anywhere else! to me, and i know i speak for a lot of others– crossroads christian church is the way a church should be and has re-​inspired my faith in Jesus, given me a deeper understanding of who He is, how i can communicate with Him, and how to live a life filled with His hope!
