The One Journey
Your life is full of stories. Some of those stories occurred because God put someone in your path and that person changed the trajectory of your life. Your story matters – it matters to God and it matters to us…and it might just change the trajectory of someone else’s life. We invite you to join us on the One Journey – just click here to get started! Looking for the One Journey Pledge Guide? Click here!

Young Adult Bible Study
What does it mean to be blessed? And, more importantly, how do we become someone who is blessed? The kind of life God is calling us to may not look the way we imagined, but it will be better than we could have hoped.
In this eight-session series, pastor Matt Chandler takes us through the Beatitudes and shows us what it means to live in the kingdom of God. Through Jesus’s teaching, learn what the blessed life really looks like.
The young adult bible study will begin on Wednesday 9/7/22 through 11/9/22 (skipping 9/28/22 and 10/26/22 for social hangouts). Each Wednesday evening we’ll be meeting at Crossroads Westminster at 6:30-8:00pm. Click HERE to register for the study and please email Corbin Ferguson with any questions.
Community Center Food Pantry
We are so grateful that Crossroads Community Center is able to offer a food distribution every Thursday evening to serve the local community. Currently the shelves are almost bare and we could use your help. We are now collecting specific donations of black beans, white rice, pasta, cereal, canned fruit and spaghetti sauce. These donations may be dropped off at the church on Sundays or at the Community Center on Sullivan Ave. on Thursday evenings at 6pm. Thank you so much for your support.
