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!

Dead Man Walking
Acts 26:1-32 | Mon, Jul 13, 2009 | Pastor John Stillman

Jesus and religion are often confused as being one and the same. “All religions teach basically the same thing,” people say. But if you take Jesus out of religion, you’re left with the mess of Christ-less religion. In this message, Pastor John looks at why we preach the gospel.

The Secret of Lasting Love
| Mon, May 25, 2009 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In a world where everything is changing so rapidly one thing we can count on is God’s love. God’s love is not conditional it is instead constant. We are to learn to love constantly to be more like His son who love people no matter what the circumstances of their lives were. While he did not have acceptance for sin he did love and accept the sinner!

Love is not Easily Angered
James 1:19-20 | Mon, May 18, 2009 | Pastor John Stillman

The Incredible Hulk made anger and rage heroic. Countless little boys (and little girls) and grown boys have “hulked out” and felt powerful. But it’s a false, self-destructive power. In this message, Pastor John describes a more powerful and effective way to manage anger.

Love Lets It Go
| Mon, May 11, 2009 | Pastor John Stillman

Forgiveness is something that we all learn and experience very early in life. Children learn to forgive playground friends, parents forgive children (and children need to forgive parents). In this fourth message on love, Pastor John talks about the value of love that lets it go.
