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!

When Jesus hits send
Luke 24:45-53 | Sun, Aug 31, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Jesus “hits send” on His followers—ordinary, unpolished people—and commissions them to proclaim repentance and forgiveness of sins to all nations. He empowers them through the Holy Spirit, opening their understanding of Scripture so they grasp God’s redemptive mission. The message challenges believers to embrace their missionary identity now, trusting in God’s power rather than human adequacy.

Proof of Life
Luke 24:36-47 | Sun, Aug 24, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message, recounts Luke 24:36–47, where the resurrected Jesus appears to his fearful disciples and offers tangible proof—His wounds and eating food—that He is alive. Jesus’s bodily resurrection is God’s definitive evidence of life, bringing peace, purpose, and confidence even amid doubt and fear

The Greatest Bible study ever
Luke 24:13-34 | Sun, Aug 17, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In this message, Pastor Ken emphasizes that the ultimate Bible study happens when Jesus Himself leads us through Scripture—as He did for the two disciples on the road to Emmaus—bringing clarity, conviction, and joy.

Appointment of a lifetime
John 15:1-17:0 | Sun, Aug 10, 2025 | Andre Delport

This message explores how believers, once united with Christ, are appointed as His lifelong co-workers—serving without retirement to bear lasting spiritual fruit. Rooted in John 15, the sermon emphasizes abiding in Christ as essential to fruitful, obedient, sacrificial living.

Discover Hope
Luke 24:1-11 | Sun, Aug 03, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message centers on the resurrection of Jesus as the foundation of living hope, contrasting it with superficial hopes rooted in money, health, reputation, or religion. It emphasizes that Jesus’ empty tomb is a historical fact that transcends cultural shifts and intellectual objections, giving believers unshakable confidence in God’s promises.

Trust
Exodus 16:4-35 | Sun, Jul 27, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In this message, we look at the principle of trust—rooted in Sabbath-keeping and daily dependence on God—through the Exodus 16 manna narrative. The contrast between the Israelites’ fear-driven grumbling and God’s consistent, gracious provision reveals how trust is cultivated through obedience and rest.

Share
Leviticus 23:1-3 | Sun, Jul 20, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message explores God’s design for Sabbath as not merely personal rest, but shared rest—a missional practice of inviting and serving others.

Encourage
Exodus 20:8-11 | Sun, Jul 13, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

The sermon centers on Exodus 20:8–11, emphasizing Sabbath not as a burdensome law but a divine gift designed to encourage and refresh us, liberated from the relentless stress of sin and modern life.

Restore
Genesis 2:1-3 | Sun, Jul 06, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message explores the biblical principle of rest as established by God in creation. It explains that true rest is more than physical downtime — it is a spiritual posture of trusting God’s completeness and ceasing self-driven striving. Rest is presented as a sacred space we are invited to enter at any time, allowing God to restore our lives and free us from the burdens of anxious toil.

Sacred Pause
Luke 23:50-56 | Sun, Jun 29, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In this message, the vital importance of Jesus’s burial is highlighted as the “sacred pause” between the crucifixion and the resurrection — not a minor detail but an essential part of the gospel. The burial confirms that Jesus truly died, fulfills Old Testament prophecy, and embodies the Sabbath rest that points to our ultimate rest in Him.

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.
