Stay updated with news, prayer requests, and stories of celebration, as we look towards what comes next for us as a church!
OUR HISTORY
On Pentecost Sunday, May 31st, 2020, Crossroads Community Church in Nampa, Idaho, birthed a sister church—Crossroads Church—in Caldwell. Renting an old Eagle’s Lodge while their building was being renovated, Crossroads Church was “finding its feet” as a new body of believers right during the height of the Covid pandemic. The early days were filled with people bringing their own chairs to church as services were held in a room smelling of old cigar smoke and highlighting an old-school tiki bar in its corner.
On Christmas Eve, 2020, Crossroads Church took occupancy of its renovated space on 6th and Main Street in downtown Caldwell. The church has remained in that space for the full five years of its lease, and now stands on the brink of its next move. By June 1st, 2025, Crossroads Church will need to meet in a new location.
We are in the process of exploring where the Lord might be moving us, and we are looking forward in joyful anticipation to the next chapter in the story!

Stories of Celebration
One of our staff, during a time of personal prayer for the building, had a picture of us, just like the Israelites, moving out with a pillar of cloud before us. The sense was that the Lord was moving us into something new and was going before us as He did. This was BEFORE we found out we couldn’t stay in the building. Amazing!
