Our vision comes from the story of the Prodigal Son told by Jesus in Luke 15 in which a son messes up and is welcomed home by the overwhelming love of his father anyway.
Therefore, our heart is that all people, from any walk of life, would come home to Jesus, embraced as a child of God, and share the radical love of the Father with others.
We Are A Church Like Home.
At Crosspoint Church, our values serve as the foundation for creating a welcoming and nurturing community that feels like home.
Each value reflects our commitment to fostering genuine relationships, deepening our faith, and sharing the love of Christ, ensuring that everyone who walks through our doors experiences belonging, support, and spiritual growth.
Our purpose is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus is our message, and we only truly find our home when we find Him.
We believe the greatest desire of God’s heart is that all would be saved. People are His heart therefore people are our heart too.
By the blood of Jesus we have been adopted into God’s family and we desire to see the lost, the broken, and those far from God come home to Him.
We believe that every person is valuable to God and everyone can find a home in Him. The needs of God’s people will always take priority over our programs or platforms.
We recognize that we are all sinners in need of a Savior. Therefore, we are not focused on behavior modification but the soul transformation that comes from the truth of the Gospel. We believe that our light is best seen in the night.
The Holy Spirit functions to make us more like Jesus. We are open to His revelations, corrections, leadings, and giftings.
We believe that when the church prays – Heaven responds. Prayer is how we surrender our concerns to God and allow His will to be done.
A beautiful thing happens when God’s people use the breath He placed in their lungs to give their praises to Him, but our worship is not just a song, but a lifestyle of praise and gratitude to Him.
We give out of thankfulness for what God has given to us, namely, His Son Jesus. We give of our time, talents, and treasures because we know that whatever we invest into God’s Kingdom will never return void.
Jesus has commissioned His church to make disciples of all nations. This is not a passive request but an active command to seek after prodigals (people far from God) and bring them home.
We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.
We believe in the Trinity, which is the doctrine that God is one, existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The three persons of the Trinity are distinct and unified, co-existing in perfect harmony and working together to create and sustain the world. We recognize that since God is the Creator and the source of all life, He exists in three persons who are distinct yet united, understanding each other completely and working together to bring about His plans for humanity. We believe that the Trinity is an essential part of understanding God and His purpose for us. By embracing the Trinity, we can have a deeper relationship with the Lord and better understand His will for our lives.
We believe in the divine inspiration of the Bible, that it is the true and inspired word of God. We believe that the Bible is our standard for life, and its truth, integrity, and relevance is of utmost importance. The Bible is not just a book, but a living guide, full of God’s wisdom and guidance. Through scripture, we learn about God’s character, how to live and act, and how to grow in our spiritual journey. We believe that by reading and studying the Bible, we are able to draw closer to God and deepen our understanding of His love.
We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He is the central figure of Christianity, the Word of God made flesh. Jesus was sent by God to be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins so that we could enjoy an eternal life with Him. Jesus’ teachings on love, forgiveness, humility, and repentance are at the core of our beliefs. We also believe in Jesus’ resurrection, that it was proof of His deity and the promise of eternal life for all those who believe. We are called to follow Jesus, to live lives of holiness, and to share the good news of the gospel. As we learn to love and serve others, we are reminded of Jesus’ example of love and sacrifice.
We believe in salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus was sent by God to save us and give us eternal life. Salvation is only possible through faith in Jesus and repentance of our sins. We understand that we are saved through grace and not by any works of our own. The Bible teaches us that no matter what mistakes we make, God’s love and grace are always available to us. We believe that when we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are able to have the assurance of salvation and the promise of eternal life with God.
We believe in the importance of baptism. The Bible tells us that such “faith comes by hearing” (Rom. 10:17). Jesus Himself commands Baptism and tells us that Baptism is water used together with the Word of God (Matt. 28:19-20). Because of this, we believe that Baptism is one of the miraculous means of grace (another is God’s Word as it is written or spoken), through which God creates and/or strengthens the gift of faith in a person’s heart (see Acts 2:38; Acts 22:16; 1 Peter 3:21; Gal. 3:26-27; Rom. 6:1-4; Col. 2:11-12; 1 Cor. 12.13). Baptism is a sacred and meaningful experience, and we are deeply committed to helping believers celebrate this important milestone in their journey of faith.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who is the third person of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is the unifying power between God and humanity, and is the source of our comfort, guidance, and strength. The Holy Spirit helps us to understand and appreciate the Bible, and helps us to live out its teachings in our lives. We believe that the Holy Spirit is with us always, faithfully guiding us in our walk with God. We also believe that the Holy Spirit gives us gifts such as wisdom, knowledge, understanding, healing, miracles, tongues, and prophecy so that we can be used to serve God and spread His love.
We believe in the Christian doctrinal belief of The Church. We believe that the Church is a holy assembly of believers, united in faith and love. We strive to be a community of believers who are united in our faith in Jesus Christ and in our commitment to serve Him and His kingdom. We are committed to loving God and loving others, and to be known for our love for one another. We believe that the Church is a body of believers who are called to serve and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to all people. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we seek to be faithful disciples of Jesus and to follow His teachings. We strive to live out our faith through loving actions and service to our community and the world.
We believe in the power of prayer, both individually and corporately, as an expression of faith in God's work in our lives. Prayer is an essential part of a Christian life and is used to talk to God and to communicate with Him. We pray for guidance, strength, healing, protection, and for our families, friends, and community. Through prayer, we seek to deepen our understanding of God's will and His plans for our lives. Praying helps us grow closer to God and to gain a better understanding of His will and how we can best serve Him. When we pray, we open ourselves up to God and He will answer us in His own way and in His own time. Prayer is a beautiful and powerful way to communicate with our Heavenly Father and to seek His love and guidance.
CrossPoint Church is a member of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS). Our congregation accepts and teaches Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther that inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th century. The teaching of Luther and the reformers can be summarized in three short phrases:
1. GRACE ALONE: God loves the people of the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against Him and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly.
2. FAITH ALONE: By His suffering and death for all people of all time, Jesus purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for them. Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him.
3. SCRIPTURE ALONE: The Bible is God's perfect Word in which He reveals His Law and His Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. It is the sole standard for Christian doctrine.
The word "Synod" in The Lutheran Church- Missouri Synod comes from the Greek word that means "walking together." The term has rich meaning in our church body because congregations voluntarily choose to belong to the Synod. To learn more about the doctrine of the LCMS please click on the link below:
