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!

How to Steer Clear of the Danger of Anger
Proverbs 16:32 | Mon, Jul 18, 2011 | Pastor John Stillman

If you are going to steer clear of the danger of anger, you have to manage your anger. Many people work at life, at a job, at raising a family. But they never work on their life, on the things that God wants them to work out. In this message, Pastor John shares some insight from God’s word on how we can wisely and healthily manage anger.

Wordly Wise
Proverbs 10:11 | Mon, Jul 11, 2011 | Pastor John Stillman

Living wisely in our everyday world is challenging – and nowhere does this prove to be more true than our words. It’s so easy for our conversations to quickly turn sour, to go where he had not intended to go. In this message, Pastor John shares wisdom from Proverbs on how the tongue can be transformed from a factory of hurt to a fountain of life.

Are you F.A.T.?
Matthew 22:39-40 | Sun, Jun 19, 2011 | Pastor John Stillman

Statements of faith aren’t much good unless they are translated into the real world. The good Samaritan showed love to his neighbor in a real way and gives us an example of what it means to be faithful, available, and teachable. Are you F.A.T.?

Drink!!! (Evening Service)
John 7:1-52 | Sun, Jun 19, 2011 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In John Chapter 7 Jesus the man who claimed to be God tells the most religious people on the planet that they do not know God! They seek to kill him yet in His mercy Jesus invites even his enemies to drink of Him and know eternal life. Where are you quenching your thirst for God? In Jesus or in the functional saviors of your life. If in Jesus then according to His word out of your heart will flow rivers of living water to refresh thirsty souls around you.

Stay Down To Go Up!
Romans 12:1-2 | Mon, Jun 13, 2011 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In Today’s message Pastor Ken coaches us by telling us to “Stay Down To Go Up!” in our worship of God! True worship of God does not happen by accident by the commit of your whole mind, body, and soul to God. Pastor Ken shares that learning to worship is much like the way he learned to pole vault in High School! When we train well as disciples we will reach new heights in our relationship with Jesus!

By this all will know...
Matthew 28:20 | Mon, Jun 06, 2011 | Pastor John Stillman

It’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of “being a Christian” as American churchgoers define it: someone who believes in God, loves his or her family, and attends church regularly. Rather than ask, “Am I a good Christian?” we should start asking the question: "Am I a good Christ?" In this message, Pastor John shares how Jesus’ command to love one another is His premier command to obey that identifies us as His true disciples.

Are You Rowing or Flowing?
| Mon, May 30, 2011 | Pastor Ken Schultz

“Are You Rowing or Flowing” In today’s message Pastor Ken challenges us to become active in fellowship with God and His people. Fellowship is not a party but a party with a purpose. We are not just a party having fun but a party on a rescue mission.

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.
