Our Beliefs
Stand at the crossroads and look... and you will find rest for your souls.
JEREMIAH 6:16
Crossroads can connect you with Jesus and other Chicagoans so that together we can walk the path that God desires for us. We're a church where old meets new, questions meet answers, you meet a neighbor, and Jesus meets you right where you're at.
Crossroads is a Christian church that follows the traditional church calendar and order of worship, or liturgy. You'll hear readings from scripture, classic hymns, and call-and-response sections. This worship style has been observed by Christians for centuries, but we keep it relevant and accessible for today: sermons & studies address the challenges you're facing right now.

Faith isn’t about holding your life together perfectly. You can rest in what Jesus has already done for you.
Faith Alone
We cherish Scripture as the unchanging truth that reveals God's character in the past and speaks directly to our lives today.
Scripture Alone
We experience rest and renewal in Christ, who meets us in our busy, complex lives with the promise of salvation.
Christ Alone
We believe that salvation is a gift freely given by faith in Jesus Christ, not earned by good works.
Grace Alone

A Sunday at Crossroads
VISIT
When you arrive, you can park in McPherson's parking lot off of Lawrence Ave (or get closer by taking advantage of free parking on Lawrence or Wolcott). Follow the signage to enter through McPherson's auditorium doors. Pastor Jake will be there to greet you and point out a seat.
When worship begins, you can follow along in your printed worship guide. Some people sing along with the hymns right away, others prefer to sit back and observe their first few times. Feel free to join in at your comfort level.
After worship, people usually stick around for a few minutes to greet new faces or catch up with friends. You're welcome to enjoy snacks & coffee with us or head out if groups aren't your thing.
