Our Mission

Helping Every Family Discover God,
His Love, and His Ways!

Our Culture

At Crosswinds, we seek to cultivate a community of:

Encouragement – Being specific and generous in our praise and celebrating as a community and individually when people do well.

Productive Feedback – Celebrating victories and identifying areas for constant improvement of our lives and His mission.

Redemption – Creating a grace-filled environment where the broken become whole again, and the old becomes new through an atmosphere of forgiveness and hope through Jesus Christ.

Creative Communication – Finding innovative ways to communicate the gospel in relevant ways to each generation, gender, personality style, and people group.

Training – We seek to create a leadership pipeline to build up people from the youngest to the oldest to make disciples who then train others to be disciples who build up others who do the same.

A Healthy Community – We seek to be people who are honest about our strengths and weakness. We seek to excel in the gifts graced to each of us. We celebrate the diversity of gifts that compliment us and lead to a healthy growing church family.

Our Vision

“We exist to create a movement of the gospel in our local community by training disciples who then train other disciples that multiply across our region seeding new healthy churches.”

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!

Best Devotion

Luke 9:57-62 | Sun, Aug 30, 2015 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Are you a follower of Christ? What are the competing gods in your life? Many would claim to follow, but follow their own agenda. In today's message, Jesus helps us consider our best devotion as He shows us what it means to follow him.

Time for Action: From Insight to Outsight

John 7 | Sat, Aug 22, 2015 | Pastor John Stillman

Whose voice do you listen to? Whose voice moves you to action? In this message, we look at Jesus' open invitation to anyone in the sound of His voice to receive the soul-satisfying Living Water of eternal life, and pass it on to others.

Time for Action: How to get into your right mind

Romans 12:1-2 | Sat, Aug 15, 2015 | Pastor John Stillman

Research tells us that insight tends to come from the right side of the brain, but the reality is that no one is really in his or her right mind apart from the work of God in transforming our way of thinking. In this message, Pastor John looks at how we can get into our right mind through the insight of the Scriptures.

Time for Action: Someone to guide me

1 Samuel 3:1-19 | Mon, Aug 10, 2015 | Pastor John Stillman

On our own, we seem wired to resist change and fight for what is in our own best interest. However, real turnaround sometimes happens when we can say, "I have someone to guide me." When God spoke to young Samuel, and when he speaks to little boys and grown-up men and women today, He is giving a call to action and the promise of His help.

Taking an honest look at others

Luke 15:25-32 | Sun, Aug 02, 2015 | Pastor John Stillman

Sometimes insights grow into discernment, which can grow into judgment. In this message, we look at the Father's interaction with judgmental, older brothers to see when judgment is right, when judgment is wrong, and the Father's wisdom to help us correct our judgment.

Taking an Honest Look at Myself

James 1:13-27 | Sun, Jul 26, 2015 | Pastor John Stillman

Prodigals can come up with all sorts of excuses for why they are in the pigpen, but none of those get us out. In this message, Pastor John looks at how we can get out of the pigpen, beginning with an honest look at ourselves.

Taking the First Steps Home

Luke 15 | Sun, Jul 19, 2015 | Pastor John Stillman

What do you think God thinks about when He has nothing to think about? While God never has nothing to do, and He has plenty to think about, one thing the Bible tells us is that God is concerned about those who have lost their way and He rejoices when they are found.

Eurekanomics - The Cost-Benefit of Direct Conversations

2 Kings 5:1-15 | Sun, Jul 12, 2015 | Pastor John Stillman

No one knows everything, and no one is perfect. So we need counsel and correction sometimes. In this message, Pastor John uses God's word to show how to engage in a conversation with another person in a way that can open our eyes to insight.

Eurekanomics - The Cost-Benefit of Deserved Consequences

Jonah | Sun, Jul 05, 2015 | Pastor John Stillman

God uses the consequences of your sin not as an end to hurt you, but as His means to get your attention and direct you back to Him in repentance so you can receive His mercy.
