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!

Redeeming Romance

Ruth 3 | Sun, Feb 18, 2007 | Pastor John Stillman

When it comes to romance, dating, marriage, and human sexuality, there are so many things that we encounter that are off-base and bizarre. The truth is that many men and women have unrealistic, inaccurate expectations when it comes to romance, sex, relationships, and marital happiness. But the story of two redeemed people – Ruth and Boaz – show us that it is possible for two people, given all the opportunities to do what’s wrong – where others have messed up and maybe they have messed up in the past – to do what’s right.

The Difference Redemption Makes

Ruth 2 | Sun, Feb 11, 2007 | Pastor John Stillman

The next character introduced in the story of Ruth is the man Boaz. And what we learn from Boaz is that one redeemed person can make a difference.

The Road to Redemption

Ruth 1 | Sun, Feb 04, 2007 | Pastor John Stillman

What is your view of God? How do you deal with the spiritual areas of God's authority, sovereignty, exclusivity, and priority? Each of the four main characters in the first chapter of Ruth’s story of a redeemed life demonstrate or lack the proper view.

Breathe - Pt. iv

John 16:7-11 | Sun, Jan 28, 2007 | Pastor John Stillman

Jesus taught that the Holy Spirit is at work in the world, guiding all people towards the truth about Him. Are you responding to His work of conviction in your life?

Breathe - Pt. iii

Galatians 5:16-25 | Sun, Jan 21, 2007 | Pastor John Stillman

Many Christians approach sanctification as a process of becoming more religious, doing good things, or getting rid of desires altogether. The Bible says that these are immature, childish approaches to achieving the holiness we want. In this message, Pastor John preaches on how the Holy Spirit sanctifies (renews) believers.

Breathe - Pt. ii

Romans 8:15-27 | Sun, Jan 14, 2007 | Pastor John Stillman

“Hope” occurs 173 times in the Bible. “Hopeless” occurs only once. “Hopeless” is not a word in God’s vocabulary. His intention is to provide hope. In this message, Pastor John shares how the Holy Spirit – the Holy “Breathe” - helps believers when life stinks.

Breathe - Pt. i

| Sun, Jan 07, 2007 | Pastor John Stillman

God’s first interaction with man involved breathing. The Bible says that God breathed into the lifeless dirt that He had formed into the shape of a body, and “the man - literally, the ‘dirt’ -became a living soul.” In this message, Pastor John preaches on the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament - and today.

The Language of Jesus

John 1:14-18 | Sun, Dec 31, 2006 | Pastor John Stillman

Maalula, Syria is one of the last places on earth where they still speak the dialect of Aramaic that Jesus spoke while He was on earth. In this message, Pastor John explores how the “language of Jesus must survive and will survive” – through us, His followers.

God With Us

John 1:6-14 | Sun, Dec 24, 2006 | Pastor John Stillman

The Word becomes flesh. Benjamin Franklin said, “A man who is wrapped up in himself makes a very small package.” Jesus wrapped Himself up in our flesh, and it means everything.
