Who We Are

Crossroads is not tied to a single campus. Students from all universities and colleges in the city are welcome, and our central office is within walking distance of many universities.

We are part of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES), a global network of independent student Christian movements. Our vision is to see students thriving together as communities of disciples, transformed by the gospel.

Statement of Faith

One God

There is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The Bible

The Bible is inspired by God and is the supreme authority for faith and conduct.

Our need

Since the fall, all people are sinful and in need of salvation.

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ died in our place as a substitute for sinners and rose bodily from the dead.

Salvation

We are justified by God’s grace alone, through faith in Christ.

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit gives new life and enables believers to live for God.

The Church and Christ’s return

All believers belong to the one universal Church, and Jesus Christ will return in person.
