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!

"Preach the Gospel at all times, but only use words if you have to," said Jesus - never.
Luke 14:15-24 | Sun, Jul 10, 2016 | Pastor John Stillman

The "fake commission" says we can be witnesses for Jesus without ever saying a word about the gospel. The Great Commission says that we are to actively use words in bringing others to Christ. Which are you practicing? In this message, Pastor John describes how we can be the kind of people who introduce men and women to Jesus as faithful witnesses.

A Place of Strength
Psalm 46 | Sun, Jul 03, 2016 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Control! We all do it in different ways in our relationships with each other and even with God. Control is not love! When we learn to love instead of control we experience a place of true strength! In today's message from Psalm 46, learn the power of surrender!

A Place of Refuge
Psalm 46 | Sun, Jun 26, 2016 | Pastor Ken Schultz

What is your biggest problem? Is it anxiety? There is hope! Come find a safe place, come and find strength. Listen to this message and discover the hope in psalm 46 and be free of fear! I know you are afraid to listen. Do it anyway so you may live a life in God’s abundant peace even in the midst of trouble.

Our Dad is Gracious
Matthew 6:12-13 | Mon, Jun 20, 2016 | Pastor John Stillman

In our final look at the Lord's Prayer, we come to the last two petitions that are perhaps the most challenging to understand and to live out, but they are also two petitions that should dominate the prayers of fathers. In this message, Pastor John speaks "dad-to-dad" to encourage fathers because our Dad is gracious!

Our Dad is Generous
Matthew 6:1-4 | Sun, Jun 12, 2016 | Pastor John Stillman

It's a father's calling to provide for his family. Our Father in heaven is the best provider there is! And when He provides, He provides enough for us to live on and enough for us to give to others. In this message, we will see that as we live generous lives that provide for the health and well-being of others, our Father promises a reward of blessing.

Our Dad is the Greatest
Matthew 6:9-10 | Sun, Jun 05, 2016 | Pastor John Stillman

There are more than 650 prayers in the Bible, but the most famous and well-known is almost certainly the prayer given to us by Jesus Himself - the Lord's Prayer, or the "Our Father". Today, Pastor John looks at the opening lines of this prayer that helps us understand the greatness of our Dad in heaven.

Walking By Grace
Matthew 26:26-29 | Sun, May 29, 2016 | Pastor Ken Schultz

It was once said “I don’t know who discovered water but it probably was not a fish.” Sometimes words can be so common place we miss the depth of their meaning. Every word of Jesus is significant and sometimes His words become so common place around church we need to rediscover their meaning so we don’t miss their richness as we recite them. In today’s message, we will look deeply into Jesus words, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.” There is an ocean of meaning in these words come swim in it with me!

God Knows
Exodus 2:23-25 | Sun, May 22, 2016 | Pastor John Stillman

As the people of Israel languished in slavery, we read in the Exodus 2 words that are meant to fill men and women with hope: "God knew." The Biblical view is that God troubles and longings are often meant to draw us to a God who knows.

Liberated for Love
Exodus 2:11-22 | Sun, May 15, 2016 | Pastor John Stillman

The Bible says that God sets the lonely in families, but how can we have the kind of beautiful relationships God made us to have with each other? In this message, Pastor John will share three Biblical principles for relationships that are beautiful.

The Opportunity of Weakness
Exodus 2:1-10 | Sun, May 08, 2016 | Pastor John Stillman

Who are the beautiful people? The world may look at who is in the spotlight, but God often looks at who is in the shadows. In this message, Pastor John looks at the story of the deliverance of baby Moses and how God shows His power in protecting the least in the world.

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.
