About Crossroads
Crossroads is a church community and a hub of goodness located in Palo Alto, California. Our aim is to provide space for people to do good works and honor our Father in heaven. We see all of life as sacred, not just the times we set aside for worship or devotion. There are so many ways to follow Jesus that we always want to support more and more opportunities to love God and serve the world. We aim to do this on any day of the week (not just Sundays) and through a broad variety of different means. In addition to our regular Sunday morning congregation, Crossroads loves to engage people throughout the week in what we call “Communities On Mission” (COMs). A COM is a group in which anyone (believer or not) can participate in service and be part of a deep community of friends that is serving and exploring God’s love together.
Get Connected
Taking the first step to engage in a faith community is always the most difficult. We know it can be especially overwhelming to find a place to explore spirituality. Our team would be happy to meet with you and help you find a place to get connected in our community life. Contact one of our pastors to learn more about the Communities On Mission. Of course, you can always visit on a Sunday morning as well.

We Are Created for Community
Worship Together
We are a church that endeavors to be fully engaged with the mission of God in creation as we navigate the crossroads of life. We are a warm body of believers who carry the conviction that both faith and life are best lived out in the context of a loving community.
Our community embraces an intergenerational and intercultural atmosphere. Our Sunday morning worship services and our relationships throughout the week center around authenticity and the love we have for God.
This is a community you are welcome to join. Come as you are.
Current Worship Series
We’re working our way through the book of Acts, seeing how God’s Spirit inspired the early Christian community to share good news and do good works.
