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!

The kind of hero you can count on

In this message, Pastor John looks at life lessons from a man who was reliable and trustworthy to help us see how we can be the kinds of heroes and sheroes who can be counted on.

Every Hero Needs a Mentor
Esther 2:1-17 | Sun, Aug 13, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

Almost all heroes have a mentor, a caretaker, or someone behind the scenes providing necessary support, encouragement, and guidance. In this message, Pastor John looks at how Mordecai the Jew served as a mentor to his adopted daughter Esther, enabling her to be transformed from a beauty queen to a shero.

Heroes lay their life on the line for a good cause
Acts 6:1-8:2 | Sun, Aug 06, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

Living courageously is the mark of many heroes and sheroes. But where does courage come from? In this message, Pastor John looks at the story of Stephen, whose historical reputation is as a follower of Jesus with great courage.

Every Day and Every Way Heroes Serve Their Fellow Man
Luke 8:1-3 | Sun, Jul 30, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

God takes broken people and mends them so that His light can shine through them. In this message, Pastor John looks at how Jesus' ministry impacted the lives of three people who needed mending, and then worked through them as an example for us to follow.

Genuine Love
Revelation 2:18-29 | Sun, Jul 23, 2017 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Genuine love is hard. Sometimes we are too hard, and sometimes we can be too soft which compromises genuine love. In Today’s message, we learn from Jesus how to love people without tolerating sin.

First Love
Revelation 2:1-7 | Sun, Jul 16, 2017 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Has your love for Jesus grown cold? This is a dangerous place for a church to be in. Without love you really don’t have a lasting church according to Jesus. In today’s message from Revelation 2, Jesus tells us what needs to happen to restore love: Remember His love, Repent the things you abandoned Him for, and Return to the works you did when you first fell in love with Him.

Every Hero Lives by a Code
2 Samuel 11:1-12:7 | Mon, Jul 10, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

Every hero and shero lives by a code, a line that he or she won't cross. In this message, Pastor John looks that the story of an Old Testament hero named Uriah who's code of honor got in David's way. In this story of sin and God's redemption, we can learn some valuable lessons for us to overcome sin and temptation.

Heroes Aren't Afraid of a Fight
Judges 4:1-22 | Wed, Jul 05, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

There is an ongoing battle that we all have to fight - the internal battle within each of us to do what's right versus what is wrong. In this message that begins in OT book of Judges, we'll see in the stories of two sheroes, a picture of how our greatest enemy has been defeated.

Heroes Make Wise Decisions
1 Samuel 25:1-35 | Sun, Jun 25, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

The Bible says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, and it will be given to him." All heroes need wisdom. In this message, we'll look at the wise example of a shero named Abigail who steps in as a mediator and gives us a picture of our true hero, Jesus.

In Search of a Hero
Matthew 1:18-25 | Sun, Jun 18, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

When God is looking for a hero, what does He look for? In this message, Pastor John looks at the life of Joseph of Nazareth as one of the most famous dads in the Bible, but about whom surprisingly little is written. What emerges is a picture of a man who was comfortable living humbly and without public recognition.
