Our Story

Since the turn of the century, from our beginnings as a small Baptist Sunday School ministry, we've been reaching out to and connecting with the people and families of Jefferson Hills.  Now, over a century later, the communities within Jefferson Hills have changed immensely but God's love for people has not.  He is the God of workplaces and gyms, college campuses and high school hallways, big neighborhoods with big families, and small communities with huge dreams. He is a loving and compassionate God who wants good things for us - to see us find true happiness in an existence that includes Him.  At CrossRoads we want to be a part of making that happen.

Our Mission and Vision

Our mission is to "BE" the Church: to share the love of Christ, to show the love of Christ to others by the way we treat others, and to invite people to be recipients of God's love.


Our vision is that as we fulfill our mission we will create places in our homes, schools, communities, and wherever we do life, where people can experience the God of the Bible regardless of race, religious denomination, political affiliation, or financial situation in Jefferson Hills, the Mon Valley, the City of Pittsburgh and beyond.

Our Values

At CrossRoads Community Church we believe it is important to not just "talk" about being the Church but to actively "engage" in being the Church. We believe that it is important that we have a set of values that we live out and that reflect our love of our God and our community. Our Values are

-Authentic Community - being real with each other and being there for each other

-Extreme Generosity - blessing others out of the blessing that God poured out on us: our time, our talents, and our treasure

-Passionate Spirituality - living prayerful committed lives with joyful and enthusiastic faith.


These values are based on our belief that God is available to people of every race, creed, and color; that He is infinite, all powerful, and all knowing; that His Son Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, died for the sins of all humanity; that the Holy Spirit of the Living God dwells in all believers; that heaven and hell are real; that death is not the end; and that the Church is to serve people like Jesus served people.
