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!

Loving With Your Words
| Mon, May 04, 2009 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In today’s message from the Series 40 Days of Love Pastor Ken shares insights on how to speak truth lovingly. To love people with our speak we need to learn to use honest words, careful words, sincere words, and building words. Our words can either destroy or create and need to be bridled by the power of the Holy Spirit. Speaking the truth in a loving way is hard but we do not grow and others do not grow until we learn to communicate honestly and lovingly.

Loving Like Jesus Loves Me
| Mon, Apr 27, 2009 | Pastor John Stillman

Love Matters Most
1 John 3:16-20 | Mon, Apr 20, 2009 | Pastor John Stillman

God put you here on earth to do two things: to learn to love Him and to learn to love other people. In this message, Pastor John shares three reasons why love matters most.

Re:do
| Mon, Apr 13, 2009 | Pastor John Stillman

On Easter morning, Jesus rose from death. What does that mean for us? In this message, Pastor John looks at what Jesus has taken away and what He gives right now to those who trust in Him.

Re:member
Luke 22:1-34 | Mon, Apr 06, 2009 | Pastor John Stillman

How should we remember-honor-memorialize Jesus? In this message, Pastor John looks at the first Lord’s Supper (Communion) and remembers that Jesus has rescued us from Satan, sin, and death.

Re:create
Luke 10:38-42 | Mon, Mar 30, 2009 | Pastor John Stillman

You and I were created for relationship with God and each other. Our attempts to fix our broken relationship with God through good deeds can sometimes cause us to feel frustrated. In this message, Pastor John shows how re-creating what we were made for isn’t from what we DO, but what Jesus has DONE.

Re:mission
Luke 14:1-14 | Mon, Mar 23, 2009 | Pastor John Stillman

One of the things that often gets in the way of our success in mission – or even getting out there in the first place – is our rules. We have our rules about church, religion, who we’re willing to hang out with – and in the course of one Saturday-afternoon dinner, Jesus breaks our man-made rules that get in the way of mission. In this message, Pastor John shows that the gospel is all about God breaking into our humanity and system of rules that keep people from hearing the gospel and breaking free from the bondage of sin.

Re:call
Luke 5:1-11 | Mon, Mar 16, 2009 | Pastor John Stillman

It seems that the confusion about faith has become so profound, that confusion about faith is considered more acceptable than certainty. In this series of messages, Pastor John explores the question, “What is faith really all about?” In this message, we recall that Jesus calls us to trust and service.

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.
