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!

Growing In Christ
1 Timothy | Sun, Nov 02, 2014 | Pastor John Stillman

When Paul wrote the letter of 1 Timothy, the church at Ephesus was 10 years-old and they were experiencing some growing pains. The solution was not to ignore the problem, but to have healthy leaders armed with a prescription to administer Godly teaching with a Godly example. In this message, Pastor John teaches from 1 Timothy that we are free in Christ to be godly in Christ.

Born in the Spirit
Acts 19 | Sun, Oct 26, 2014 | Pastor John Stillman

My God Sustains Me
Psalm 27 | Sun, Oct 19, 2014 | Pastor John Stillman

My God Knows the Path I Should Take
Psalm 37 | Sun, Oct 12, 2014 | Pastor John Stillman

My God, Have You Abandoned Me?
Psalm 22 | Sun, Oct 05, 2014 | Pastor John Stillman

My God is Perfect
Psalm 16 | Sun, Sep 14, 2014 | Pastor John Stillman

The word Utopia is from a Latin word that means "no place." It seems that there is nothing in this life that is perfect. But in Psalm 16, the psalmist reflects on his God and seems to say, "My God is perfect." When imperfections and craziness destroy your "utopia," look up to a perfect God!
