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!

Accepting the Call
Isaiah 6:1-13 | Sun, Dec 27, 2015 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Have you been undone?! Are you ready to serve?! Are you a stump?! Today we learn from Isaiah Chapter 6 how to accept the call of God and serve Him as an Ambassador of Christ.

Something for Everyone
John 1:14 | Thu, Dec 24, 2015 | Pastor John Stillman

As we get ready to "wrap up" all the gift buying and gift getting and gift giving for another Christmas season, let's look at God's word and unwrap the best gift of all. The gift of God's grace.

What Child Is This?
| Sun, Dec 20, 2015 | Pastor Ken Schultz

We have all heard the story… but is it a story or a historical event? In this message we look at the evidence for the reliability of the gospels, and the eyewitness testimony about the identity of Jesus.

"I'll have a blue Christmas without You."
John 3:22-36 | Sun, Dec 13, 2015 | Pastor John Stillman

While Christmas is a time of many celebrations, not everyone feels bright and cheery. Some are having a "blue Christmas," perhaps because of a recent loss, an illness, or some anxiety. Through his life, John the Baptist teaches us some "lessons in the wilderness" to encourage us.

Best. Gift. Ever.
John 1:1-5 | Tue, Dec 08, 2015 | Pastor John Stillman

We tend to forget God's grace and His gifts and take them for granted. In this message to prepare us for Christmas, Pastor John reminds us to believe the Gift-Giver and receive His Gift.

Forgiving God
John 11:1-44 | Mon, Nov 30, 2015 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Forgiving God? Theologically He does not need our forgiveness, but practically many are not enjoying the abundant life because they carry bitterness and resentment towards God.

Forgiving Others
Matthew 18 | Sun, Nov 22, 2015 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Since we have been given a do over from God, we need to be merciful and give others a do over when they sin against us. In today message we learn about forgiveness and peace making so that we can represent our savior well. When we forgive and don’t hold on to resentment, God is glorified and the world takes notice.

Receiving Forgiveness
Mark 2:1-12 | Sun, Nov 15, 2015 | Pastor Ken Schultz

We all fail in life, in our relationships with others, and in our relationship with God. Remember when you were a kid and could just call for a “Do over”? Jesus provides a “Do over” by forgiving our sins and giving us new life and new start with God! In today’s message we learn about a paralyzed man who Jesus gave a “Do over”, proving He was God and that He was King of the Do over!

my #persecutedbrother
Hebrews 13:3 | Sun, Nov 08, 2015 | Pastor John Stillman

The suffering in the world due to persecution is immense. In this message, Pastor John looks at our call embrace the cross and love our brothers who are suffering throughout the world.

a word to my #liberalbrother and to my #conservativebrother
Matthew 22:34-40 | Sat, Oct 31, 2015 | Pastor John Stillman

The middle ground between liberal and conservative is shrinking, leading to more and more divisiveness in American society. How should we respond? Understanding that the Bible is not a political playbook, there are still some things we can learn about how God intends for His people to live and love in a political culture.

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.
