The VISION

CrossRoads exists to share Christ with the World by connecting people to
God's presence, God's people & God's passion.

As we do our best to connect corporately,
we need to continue growing in our walk with Jesus individually.
And growing in our walk with Him is not a linear progression.

We ENCOUNTER God in new ways every day.
He EQUIPS us to better serve His Mission and Purpose.
​And He helps us EMULATE Jesus every day of our life.

Inspiring all generations to action through God's conviction.

Core Values

Jesus is Lord
​    "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 6:23

Servant-Leadership
​is the only leadership
    "...if it is leadership, let him govern diligently..." - Romans 12:8  "...just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve..." - Matthew 20:28

God speaks through His Word
    "All scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." - 2 Timothy 3:16-17

We each play a part in making
disciples all over the world
    "...All authority in heaven and earth has been given to me.  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely I will be with you always, to the very end of the age." - Matthew 28:18-20

​All people matter
    "Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God;..." - 1 Peter 2:10

Worship is for God
    "Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.  And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." - Colossians 3:16-17

The Holy Spirit leads us,
in our local church and individually
    "And they did not do as we expected, but gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us in keeping with God's will."
- 2 Corinthians 8:5

Without God, we can do nothing.
    "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing..."
​- 1 Thessalonians 5:16,17

FULL-TIME  STAFF

Miles

Lead Pastor

Miles and his wife, Jennifer, have been a part of CrossRoads from the very beginning. Miles was a part of the discussions that took place that merged Old Union and Northland to form CrossRoads Christian Church. He has held the position of Worship Minister and Preaching Minister throughout his time at the church.
​He has the blessing of his daughter and her family worshipping at CrossRoads along side him, which includes his son-in-law and three grandsons.

Robbie

Executive Pastor

Rob and his wife, Meg, have been a part of CrossRoads since September of 2010. Originally hired as the Associate Pastor, Rob's role here has continued to morph into the Executive Pastor position. He oversees our Life Groups, while also leading in other areas, such as: worship, tech and day-to-day operations.
Rob and Meg have two children, Ava and Ella, who love coming to CrossRoads, learning about Jesus and spending time with their friends.

Aaron

Student Pastor

Aaron is our newest full-time Staff Member at CrossRoads, joining the team in June of 2022. He is a local guy who grew up in different parts of Vermilion County. He is super excited to be serving at a church in Danville and living out the calling he feels from the Lord in Student Ministry. He recently completed his Master's Degree in Christian Leadership from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ.
Aaron used to be a manager at Culver's (so you may recognize him), but his heart is definitely in Student Ministry now. We're incredibly excited to have him working with our Jr. & Sr. High Students.

Chelsea

Administrative Assistant

Chelsea has been a great addition to the CrossRoads Staff over the last few years. She keeps our day-to-day operations running smoothly, keeping the Staff up-to-date on what's going on around the building, managing the calendar. She strives to do her best covering so many other responsibilities that have now been handed over to her: publications, promo development and communication. She has a heart to serve. When Chelsea accepted this position, we did not expect that she would end up taking on so much, but we are extremely thankful for her willingness.
Chelsea is a big St. Louis Cardinals fan, and she loves her dog, Yadi.

​PART-TIME  STAFF

Kathy

Children's Director

Kathy is another one of our staff who was involved before being hired. She has always had a heart for kids, but also had an outside job. When she heard that we were in need of a Children's Director, she was excited about the opportunity, and full of ideas to enhance our children's experience. She has implemented a lot of those ideas, while continuing to build her wish list for the future. The majority of the time, you can find Kathy in our KidZone, but she loves the opportunity to worship with her husband, Tim, as well.
Kathy is the proud mother of three who are all grown up, but she is also a very proud Memaw to some special ones as well.​

Teagyn

Worship Director

​Teagyn joined the CrossRoads staff in January 2023. He was born and raised in Danville, and currently attends DACC. While he is a college student, his passion is for worship ministry. He feels that music is a tool that can be used to reach so many people and, most of all, glorify God. Teagyn plays several instruments, including: guitar, piano and drums. He also enjoys singing.
As Worship Director, Teagyn selects and arranges songs for the worship services at CrossRoads. He also coordinates musicians and vocalists who serve on the Worship Team. He loves leading the congregation in worship through song!

Cindy

Nursery Coordinator

Cindy and her husband, Joe, are another couple that has been apart of CrossRoads from the time Northland and Old Union merged. They were already rooted in the Nursery at Northland Christian Church and they continued serving when the churches came together. Over the last 16 years, they have been the faces of the SonShine Nursery at CrossRoads. When parents come in that first time and want to know their little one is going to be cared for and loved, Cindy and Joe are the ones who give that reassurance.
Cindy is a retired Librarian from Danville School District 118. She has three sons and grandchildren that she loves deeply. Cindy & Joe are gracious enough to give of their time coordinating the many Faithful Servants it takes to care for our Littles, as well as getting down on the kids level to teach, play and read with them in the nursery.

OUR  STORY

At one point in time, our motivation to work revolved around the merger of two congregations and finishing the remodel of a new building. But that was years ago now, and we are excited about what God's doing in the present while we remain excited for the future. We are continually looking for God's plan as we move forward as His Church.

We want people to know The Gospel with their mind and feel the Gospel with their hearts.
​Jesus Christ, God's only son, came to the earth through a virgin birth, lived a sinless life and died on a cross after being severely beaten as the perfect sacrifice for our sin. Jesus rose from the grave three days later, conquering the sting of death, giving us hope for eternal life in heaven fully reconciled with God.

We are here now because this is the time God has chosen for us to continue preaching this Good News to those God brings into our path. God loves every person we lock eyes with on any given day. And we need to all understand that Jesus paid the ultimate price for us. We're not worthy of that sacrifice and never will be, but we are given gift anyway because God loves us. This gift cannot be earned. Only the blood of Jesus was capable of giving us our forgiveness because He is something we can never be. He is perfect.

In his perfection, God has allowed CrossRoads Christian Church to tell His story since 2006. And there may very well come a time that CrossRoads' story comes to an end, but our goal is not to build ourselves up and put CrossRoads on any pedestal. We want to make Jesus famous.
