History

Cross Road Church began in the backyard of Founding Pastor Brad Cooper in 2002. What started as a Bible study with just a handful of adults quickly outgrew the yard and moved to what is now known as Ability Point. Within a few months, Cross Road outgrew that space as well and was blessed to find a new home at 13th and Ridge Rd, where it continued to grow until needing a larger facility in 2014.

Today, Cross Road is located just south of Kellogg on Maize Rd. With more than 20,000 people living within a 2-mile radius and over 100,000 within 5 miles, Cross Road is perfectly positioned to continue to Reach, Teach, Live, and Love – Like Jesus with and among those around us!

Mission & Vision

Cross Road Church exists to Reach, Teach, Live, and Love – Like Jesus.       

We believe that every legitimate vision statement is ultimately a restatement of the Great Commission, so for us, it all comes back to what Jesus commanded us to do:

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28v18-20

Ministries

• 412 Kids: The goal of the 412Kids team is to encourage kids to live out 1 Timothy 4:12. We want to give our kids the tools to help them to follow God. No matter how young they are, they can start encouraging each other with their words, their actions, and praising God with their thoughts.

• 412 Students: 412 Students is where 6th-12th grade students learn to Reach, Teach, Live and Love Like Jesus! Through consistent Bible-teaching, worship, and discipleship, our students learn to cultivate a thriving relationship with Jesus that continues throughout their lives.

• Gray Matters Collective: A vibrant collection of those 55+. Activities include monthly gatherings, bimonthly day trips, special interest small groups, and an intentional community that seeks to engage with younger generations.
• Mercy Ministries: From serving meals and creating sleeping mats for the homeless in our area to sewing prayer blankets and knitting/crocheting chemo caps, baby blankets and more for those in need, Cross Road has a huge heart for the “least of these”. https://www.crossroad.live/ministries
• LifeGroups: These groups are gatherings of 8 to 16 people who intentionally share life together through Bible study, prayer, meals, serving, and fun. Some groups meet at the church building, but most gather in the home of a group member. While special interest groups form throughout the year, most of our groups engage in sermon-based discussions from week to week. More information can be found here: https://www.crossroad.live/ministries
• Missions: We intentionally partner with individuals and non-profit organizations that seek to serve Jesus and those around them locally, within Kansas, nationally, and internationally. A list of the various agencies we partner with can be found here: https://www.crossroad.live/missions
