About Crosswinds

Crosswinds Church is a Christ-Centered community in Plainfield Illinois, located at the corner of Route 59 & 143rd Street. It is a place where you can discover who God is and live out your faith in uplifting and practical ways. We believe the Bible teaches that we don’t come to church but that we are the church, so we teach our members to have an impact on their families, workplaces, schools, community, and beyond. The church was started by ordinary people who God has used to do great things to show love and kindness in Plainfield, our county, our region, our state, and other countries..

Our goal is not just for you to come and visit us but for you to take what you learn about God at Crosswinds and share that with someone else to encourage them on their journey. God has a wonderful design for our lives, but life can be hard and we live in a broken world. We all need help and encouragement on our journey, so we seek to give people practical tools. These tools not only help them find peace and joy in their everyday lives, but help others to do the same. We are not perfect. The Bible says no one but Jesus is perfect, but we hope you will come and grow with us. We hope you will help us to make our lives and the lives of others better by discovering the hope that is found in Jesus Christ!

Here I Stand on the Gospel

Here I Stand at Peace with God
| Sun, Oct 22, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

How can I really be at peace with God? Does anything work? This is a real question for us all. In this message, Pastor John looks at the testimony of the psalmist as he cried for God's mercy to rescue him from a pit of despair, and the words of Jesus, the ultimate King who went into the pit for His subjects.

Saved to Serve
Ephesians 2:20-0 | Sun, Oct 15, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

Growing in Godliness
1 Timothy 4:7-16 | Sun, Oct 08, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

The Christian life is not about rule-keeping and self-reliance. It's about living in a relationship with Jesus where you become more like Him. In this message, Pastor John looks at Paul's counsel to a young church leader and how we can G.R.O.W. in godliness.

Made For Mission
John 9:1-5 | Sun, Oct 01, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

When Jesus Christ walked on earth, He had a mission. Remarkably, towards the end of His time on earth, He passed that mission on to His followers. In today's dark, confusing, and conflicting days, is that mission still alive? In today's message, Pastor John looks at how Jesus' describes His ongoing mission of bringing light into a dark work just before He heals a man who had lived in darkness his entire life.

Wired For Worship
Matthew 4:8 | Sun, Sep 24, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

Maybe you don't consider yourself a "worshiping" kind of person, but the truth is that every person is wired for worship because we have been made in the image of God. When God calls us to the duty of worship, He is calling us to Himself.

Battling Bitterness
Hebrews 12:15 | Sun, Sep 17, 2017 | Pastor Ken Schultz

When we get hurt we can get a bitter root. This is dangerous to you life, your spiritual life, your family, and your church. Many of just mow down the shoot of bitterness and just move on. But Jesus wants to help you remove the root so that peace, joy, and faith can grow in the soil of your heart. We all have trials and in them we have the opportunity to get bitter or better. Let's find healing in God's word and get better.

Be Angry???
Ephesians 4:26-27 | Sun, Sep 10, 2017 | Pastor Ken Schultz

What does the bible say about anger? Learning to navigate our anger in a way that honors God can bring life and health to our soul and our relationships. Some think we should have no anger and some just blow up in their anger but God has another plan for our anger.

Learning to Love
Acts 5:42 | Sun, Sep 03, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

When heroes have a crisis of identity
Matthew 11:1-11 | Sun, Aug 27, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

Discouragement can drive us to doubt ourselves, our friends, and even God Himself. When John the Baptist was stuck in a dungeon, he faced a time of doubt about his own work and the identity of Jesus. In this message, Pastor John looks at three things we can be sure that Jesus is doing when we are facing our own identity crisis.

Follow Jesus By Giving
