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!

God on the Mountain
Exodus 19:1-19 | Sun, Sep 17, 2006 | Pastor John Stillman

Our third stop in looking for God in times of crisis is a mountain where God commissions us to one of our most significant roles in the world – that of priests in covenant with God as His "holy people" who live and represent Him to the world.

God on the Throne
Isaiah 6:1-7 | Sun, Sep 10, 2006 | Pastor John Stillman

Psalm 11 asks the question, “When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?” The psalmist responded by saying he trusted exactly where and who God is: “The LORD is on his heavenly throne.” When trouble strikes, remember that God is always seated firmly in control.

God in the Garden
Genesis 3:1-15 | Sun, Sep 03, 2006 | Pastor John Stillman

In times of crisis, we may wonder, “Where is God? Isn’t He supposed to be doing something about what’s going on down here?” In this message, Pastor John shares how God is personally doing something – in two examples where God appears in a garden.

Is there anybody out there?
1 Kings 19:1-13 | Sun, Aug 27, 2006 | Pastor John Stillman

Your Moment in History
Esther 4:9-16 | Sun, Aug 06, 2006 | Pastor John Stillman

It could be that your name will be written into a history book somewhere. But even if it isn’t, your life can matter. Your moment in history can be significant. In this message, Pastor John shares an example from the book of Esther of how average men and women are part of HIS story.

Law Abiding Citizens
Luke 10:25-37 | Sun, Jul 30, 2006 | Pastor John Stillman

The Bible is filled with commands, and many of them have meaning for how Christians should act as citizens in their countries. Even under a hostile government, we’re supposed to obey the laws, pay our taxes, pay our respects, and pay our debts. There’s one obligation, however, that never gets paid off – the obligation to love.

Borders and Boundaries - A Biblical perspective on the immigration issue
| Sun, Jul 23, 2006 | Pastor John Stillman

The Bible is a story all about people moving from place to place, with the ultimate immigration being from the world to God’s kingdom. When it comes to the topic of immigration, the Bible has less to say about controlling the borders of the country, and more to say about controlling the borders of heart to avoid prejudice – because in reality, we are all aliens in this world.

Speaking of Faith in the Public Square
Acts 26 | Sun, Jul 16, 2006 | Pastor John Stillman

Freedom of Speech seems to be open to every thought and idea, except when it comes to speaking about Jesus. In this message, Pastor John explores some of the principles to keep in mind when we are given a Holy-Spirit-opportunity to share our faith in the public square.

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.
