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!

The proof is in the prophecy
Luke 18:31-34 | Sun, Oct 01, 2023 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In Luke 18 Jesus prophesied about his own death. In this message we look at this prophecy and other prophecies and how they are the proof of the truth of the Gospel.

Letting go to go!
Luke 18:18-30 | Sun, Sep 24, 2023 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Letting go and trusting in Gods grace can sometimes be challenging, we like to be in control. We try to fix problems ourselves but there are problems in life that we just can’t fix ourselves. In this message we look at a man who tried to create his own Utopia without God, it looked to everyone including himself like he was doing good, but was really devastating to real life, the life God offers us in relationship to Him.

Mercy for the margins
Luke 18:15-17 | Sun, Sep 17, 2023 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In Luke 18, Jesus is spotlighting the underdogs in his stories. In verses 15-17 Jesus is bringing kids into the picture. These days we often worship kids, we put them on a pedestal or even spoil them, but back in the day kids were treated like property with no rights. But there is more to this story, the gospel nudges us here to realize that we all start as newborns in our journey with Jesus.

The Self-Sufficiency Trap
Luke 18:9-14 | Sun, Sep 10, 2023 | Pastor Ken Schultz

We often fall into this trap where we either consider ourselves to be utterly self-sufficient or we consider ourselves to be lacking. Either way we are setting our sights in the wrong direction, focused on either judging ourselves or others rather than turning to God for grace.

Pray, Persist, Prevail
Luke 18:1-8 | Sun, Sep 03, 2023 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In this week's message we look at the parable that Jesus told his disciple in Luke 18 about the persistent widow and look at what he wants us to learn about the importance of persistence when praying.

God and Women
1 Timothy 2:1-15 | Sun, Aug 06, 2023 | Pastor Ken Schultz

You are Called
Ephesians 4:11-12 | Sun, Jul 30, 2023 | Jason Magafas

Everyday distractions can often cause us to miss the call from Jesus. In this message Jason invites us to ask ourselves who or what are we accepting calls from, or allowing our hearts to be captured by?

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.
