WE’VE GOT A MOUNTAIN TO MOVE

Crossroads has never sought to be a mega church, but we have always had a mega vision. Our great God has been clear about our calling here in Rowlett, TX. It’s a calling we take very seriously, so we want to be clear about our vision to accomplish it and impact the world for His name. We also want you to know how you can help. I have seen our church rise to the challenge time and again, but you cannot help us move a mountain if you do not know it exists. Let’s go Crossroads!

RELEASE THE CHURCH

We’re called to connect people to God, equip them to serve, call them to go, and steward all that God has given us. TO CONNECT & EQUIP: we have ministries, programs, and groups. TO GO: we are serving our community and partnering with ministries in other states and around the world. In order to do these things and to steward God’s church well, we have to address barriers.

Our primary barriers have been facilities, and that created debt of $4.25 million between building and remodel. We want to resolve that debt, and I believe we can see a miracle. Not so we can sit comfortably, but so we can move into more of what God has called us to do around the world!

I believe our faithful church has the ability and passion to eliminate this debt in the next months and years. That is where you come in. We are asking you to pray about investing in God’s mission for His local church. The amount is between you and the Lord, but every part helps! (Below we will outline some specific things you may want to contribute to.)

I want to be clear that our giving is strong. We already have $1 Million of this that has been given through your consistent, faithful giving. Our current giving allows us to make our payments (where our interest goes to the mission field) in our normal budget and both grow and maintain our current ministries. Our giving is not off track, rather God continues to grow the vision. Our church is ALIVE and living things require resources!

In just 6 years and 2 months we’ve built a new building and remodeled it just a few years later for ministry growth. We also remodeled our older building at the same time, to account for even more growth. This is a huge reason to praise God!

Building are tools. So, how did the latest renovation give us more tools?

  • We’ve expanded seating in worship from 450 to 750.

  • Audio/Visual was upgraded in both buildings.

  • Network, internet, and security upgrades were completed.

  • Additional bathrooms were added.

  • Additional classrooms were added for adults, kids, and our education ministry.

  • Storage and kitchen upgrades were included.

  • A sign was added (donated to us by a generous church member)

    Is anything still in process in the renovation? Are these things part of the original budget?

  • We are adding an additional 170 parking spaces. This was in the original budget.

  • A new playground is being added for $200,000 dollars which has play space for kids of all ages. Most of this was in the original budget, and much more was contributed by an amazing family. However, if someone wanted to donate to this project every amount helps tremendously.

  • Minor electrical and other detail work to be finished soon.

IF WE WERE DEBT FREE, WHAT ELSE WOULD WE DO HERE?

  • We’d love to build an outdoor space where our church and community could gather. A space that could include a splash pad, sports and games, gathering areas, and outdoor worship space.

  • Begin a ministry school. We want to expand on our current internship program and help create a school to get more people serving and trained for ministry both here and around the world.

  • An outdoor baptistry for larger church-wide events and a reminder to our city about what Jesus can do in their lives!

  • Begin a ministry to reach Hispanic people around us for Jesus.

  • Continue to expand our school and education ministries.

  • A possible shuttle bus ministry for transportation needs

  • Increased digital discipleship to reach the next generation.

    LET’S RELEASE THE CHURCH!

REVIVE THE CITY

Our church is already engaged in ministries of Re:Generation, Foster & Adoption, Biblical Counseling, Prayer, Funerals, Serve Day, & the BIG GIVE! We serve and support ministry partners to help rescue people from trafficking, minister to abused women and children, and bless those who are under resourced.

IF WE WERE DEBT FREE, WHAT ELSE WOULD WE DO?

  • Launch Re:Engage marriage ministry (which we are planning to do already)

  • Expand our counseling ministry. The need is great!

  • Operate a resource center for needs like food, clothes, & more.

  • Find a way to operate short-term housing for emergency needs.

    LET’S CONTINUE TO REVIVE THE CITY!

RESTORE HOPE TO THE WORLD

God has opened doors for our church in Brazil, India, Spain, Germany, Africa, the Rio Grande Valley, North Carolina, & Kentucky. We are in talks additional partners in Mexico, Honduras, Puerto Rico, and Nepal. Our church is taking the great commission seriously and it’s awesome!

IF WE WERE DEBT FREE, WHAT ELSE WOULD WE DO?

  • We have a vision to help provide salary for missionaries in some of these countries. This support could help those ministries grow in unbelievable ways.

  • We want to launch a church partnering network. This would allow Crossroads and our church partners to share resources (curriculum, kids & students teaching materials, preaching cohorts, media, etc.) and could be a huge financial saving for partner churches.

  • GO MORE THAN EVER! In 2025 and 2026, we want to mobilize a record number from Crossroads to serve here and around the world!

    LET’S RESTORE THE HOPE OF JESUS TO THE WORLD!

Crossroads, we need your help to make all this happen. If you want to join in this vision to help move some mountains in people’s lives, we need you to do what you do best.
