Who we are
A church learning to love God, love others, and love our world.
CrossLife Community Church is a group of people committed to pursuing Christ. We want to make, mature, and multiply people who are grounded in the Word and empowered by the Spirit, who go into the world both locally and globally, confident that the good news of God's grace can transform people's lives.
We're an independent, non-denominational church. That simply means we answer to Scripture and are shepherded by our own elders. On Sundays you'll find plain preaching from the Bible, singing, prayer, and ordinary people who are glad you came.

What a Sunday at CrossLife is like
Visiting a new church can feel uncertain. Here's the short version so nothing catches you off guard.
- How long is the gathering?
- About 90 minutes, with a 35–40 minute sermon.
- What should I wear?
- Come as you are. We care far more about what's going on inside a person.
- What's the preaching like?
- Expository — we usually preach straight through books of the Bible.
- What's the music like?
- A mix of classic hymns and newer worship songs. Lyrics that honor Christ.
Families
Your kids are important to us.
Nursery and preschool care runs during the 10:30 gathering for children through age 5. Children ages 6 through third grade can head to Children's Church just before the sermon.
We also love for families to worship together — feel free to keep your children with you. We can handle a little noise.
What we believe
What we believe shapes everything we do.
At CrossLife you will find a church that embraces the belief in the sovereignty of God in all things, is gospel-centered in doctrine and preaching, continuationist, complementarian, elder-governed, missions-minded, and committed to exalting Jesus and bringing glory to God in all we teach and do.
Life together
Sunday morning isn't the whole of church life.
Most of what shapes us happens around tables, in homes, and in service to our neighbors throughout the week.
