Easter is an invitation to encounter a God who is alive. A God who came out of a tomb to give us more than a holiday. And much more than a religion. This Easter, come and re-imagine a different kind of life… a new life… a resurrected life. Join us this year for EASTER at Park High School in Cottage Grove, MN.
Below are the core beliefs of CrossRoads Church:
Climate of Acceptance
We want CrossRoads to be a warm and inviting place. We want everyone to feel welcomed. That's why we often say, "No perfect people allowed here." We're just a bunch of real people living in the world trying to connect with a very real God.
Relevant Biblical Teaching
Relevant is a key word. Our goal in our teaching is to build a bridge from "then" (the teachings of the Bible) to "now" (life in the 21st century). The Bible never needs to be updated. It is from God and full of timeless principles.
Outward Focused
We're not a club for "insiders" only. We exist for those who never walk in our doors. Our mission is to change the world, one life at a time, by pointing people to Christ. As long as one person is far from God, we will continue to reach out to our community.
Seeker Sensitive
Our desire is to present Christ in an understandable, culturally-relevant way to all people. That means we want the church-inexperienced to come to our services and understand what's going on. We want to attract seekers AND edify believers in our services.
Small Groups
As CrossRoads grows larger, we realize we have to grow smaller at the same time. We do this through small groups, which are groups of 6-12 people, gathering together for Bible study, prayer, service, and building friendships.
Reliance on the Holy Spirit
God is the Head of the Church and His guidance and empowerment matter greatly. That's why prayer will permeate everything we do at CrossRoads.
Organized by Purpose
Our desire is to be driven not by tradition or personalities or programs or finances, but by the purposes of God, outlined in the Bible. The Bible tells us what our "business" is and what's none of our business.
All Things Done With Excellence
Excellence honors God and inspires others. We're committed to doing all things at CrossRoads with excellence… to the very best of our ability.
Do Church as a Team
CrossRoads believes in teams, not superstars. We believe every believer is gifted by God and called to do ministry. The job of the pastor(s) is to "equip God's people to do His work and build up the church, the body of Christ." [Ephesians 4:12]
Spiritual Growth the Norm - not the exception
Spiritual growth is expected of everyone at CrossRoads. As we do our part — participate in personal devotions, small groups, Life Development Classes, the Grand Slam Seminars, and Sunday teaching — we believe God will bring spiritual maturity to our lives.

your comments about crossroads church are way out in left field. the core beliefs you have posted no longer hold true to a church that preaches hypocrisy and discriminates in "love"
this is not a church, instead the leaders of this church hide behind the label of church and therefore think it is acceptable to preach ignorance and disgust.
it makes me sad that when people are looking for a genuine welcoming church that your words ( what you have written about the core beliefs of CRC) will lead them astray and they will be sadly disappointed and feel neglected and led astray by a church that has forgotten what the golden rule reads.
I stand by Crossroads Church, and all they stand for. Posting as an anonymous sniper on the internet makes it pretty clear you need to examine yourself and your motives. Phil Print and staff are creating a place where lives are being changed, and eternities impacted, and the Word of God, the good news of Jesus Christ is being preached. I suspect you'll never stop by my blog again, and that this was a troll with an ax to grind. Your treatment of the issues, whether valid criticism or not are signs of immaturity and a lack of understanding of the biblical method for reconciliation. I'll leave this comment stand as a testament to your poor judgment, but be warned I will have a quick trigger on future comments if you choose nothing but drive-by commenting.
Big Chris
