About Crossroads
Crossroads Church is a growing multi-site, interdenominational church. Our sites are currently located in Ohio and Kentucky, with plans to expand to additional cities. We also have an online presence that serves thousands of people who aren’t located near one of our physical sites.
We believe the story of Jesus' redemption is the greatest story ever told, and that's why we embrace creativity, adventure, authenticity, and tenacity to share this story with the world.
We desire to model our staff and church community after the church in Revelation, where people of all nations, tribes, and tongues worship and work together. We’re not there yet, but it’s what we’re working toward with every hire and every person who walks through our doors.
