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!

Meet the Family

Make sure your life really matters.
1 Corinthians 15:1-11 | Tue, Apr 04, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

One of the worst things imaginable is to live your life and miss the purpose for which you were made. You can know that purpose! But you must know God, properly understand His grace, and let those two things change you. May God bless the preaching of His word as you listen to this message.

Oh Listen
Psalm 95 | Sun, Mar 26, 2017 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Sometimes what we think of as sin is not necessary what grieves God’s heart the most. God want us to listen to Him and sing His praises, yet often what is most on our lips in grumbling and complaining. Jesus never complained and because of that, if we believe in Him, God has no more complaint about us for our sin. We can live a life of praise.

When all else fails.
| Sun, Mar 12, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

When you've tried to take the steps to resolve conflict but it's still there, what do you do? What do you do when all else fails? In this message, Pastor John looks at what Scripture has to say about moving ahead and leaving the conflict in the past.

We can work it out.
Philemon | Sun, Mar 05, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

Usually, conflict can be resolved through personal peacemaking - a one-on-one conversation between you and the other person resolves it. But, there are times when more help is needed. In this message, Pastor John looks at the process of assisted peacemaking as it is modeled for us in the New Testament letter of Philemon.

How to say you're sorry.
| Sun, Feb 26, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

“I’m sorry.” Just two words, and sometimes very difficult to say. But if you’ve ever begun a conversation with those two words, there is a lot of promise in them too, because those words open the door to overcoming conflict. In this message we'll focus on learning how to say "I'm sorry" with some very practical words from Scripture.

How to Forgive
| Sun, Feb 19, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

The Christian life is harder than the non-Christian life because people will hurt you and you don't get to turn around and treat them the same way. Instead, followers of Jesus are to forgive and reconcile. In this message, Pastor John walks us through the steps to get to the place of forgiveness and reconciliation.

Don't find fault. Find a remedy.
Matthew 18:15-20 | Sun, Feb 12, 2017 | Pastor John Stillman

Conflict brings both bad opportunities and good. The bad side is when we try to escape conflict or attach others in response to it. The good side is when we use the peacemaking steps that Jesus gave us in Matthew 18:15-20. In today's message, Pastor John addresses the first practical steps of peacemaking.

Follow Jesus By Giving

We believe that the bible teaches us that giving should be regular, proportional, and sacrificial! Help us to help others by giving to the work of the gospel.
