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!

Don't Waste Your Cross!
Luke 9:18-27 | Sun, Oct 22, 2006 | Pastor John Stillman

Think of the disturbing images in your life. The things you wish weren’t there. The hardships. The trials. The things we would rather put off. The things you have to do that you don’t like to think about. Think of what’s grotesque in your life. This is your cross, your place to die to yourself and live for Christ. Martin Luther said, “A religion that gives nothing, costs nothing, and suffers nothing, is worth nothing.”

Don't Waste The Treasure!
Matthew 13:44-46 | Sun, Oct 15, 2006 | Pastor John Stillman

We’re all looking for something. Looking for love. Meaning or acceptance. Looking for answers. In the U.S., Google processes 78,000 searches/minute, every minute of every day. This message is about searching, as well. The mission and ministry of Jesus was to announce that what we are really searching for, the search for what really matters, is over.

Don't Waste Your Life!
