About Crossroads

Crossroads Church is a growing multi-site, interdenominational church located in Ohio and Kentucky, with plans to expand to additional cities. We also have an online presence serving thousands who are not near one of our physical sites.

We believe the story of Jesus' redemption is the greatest story ever told, and we embrace creativity, adventure, authenticity, and tenacity to share this story with the world. Our goal is to model our staff and church community after the church in Revelation, where people of all nations, tribes, and tongues worship and work together. We’re working toward this vision with every hire and every person who walks through our doors.
