Our History
We have been serving the Cumberland County area since our inception on May 13th, 1919. While our name has changed occasionally, our mission has remained the same - live life with others so they will know the love of Jesus.
At Crossings, we are learning to grow spiritually mature and more deeply intimate with God. The goal of this relationship is to lead us to holy obedience no matter the cost.
Jesus said,
Come to me, all you who are struggling hard and carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Put on my yoke, and learn from me. I'm gentle and humble. And you will find rest for yourselves. My yoke is easy to bear, and my burden is light. (Matthew: 11:28-30)
It's not about us and what we can do, it's about resting in the presence of God, learning to be with him so that all we are is flowing out of who we are in Christ.

We exist to worship God and Love Others. Our desire is for every person to find a place to belong. We believe Jesus Christ is our all in all. Because of who He is, we are free to be all He created us to be. Come and be at home with us.
Core Values
Crossings’ core values explain who we are – our identity. Our identity begins rooted in the love of Christ. Because Christ loved us first, we love others. We invite all people to be loved and included in the body of Christ. Our values are love and inclusion.
Worship
Because God first loved us, he draws us to himself. In his presence we are loved and learn to love him. This leads us to worship God corporately.
Discipleship
As we learn to love God, we desire to grow closer to him, this leads us to healthy Christian discipleship. As we learn who we are in Christ we can't help but invite others to join us on this journey.
