The Crossing Church

The Crossing is a Christian church based in Elk River, Minnesota that is affiliated with the Minnesota Iowa Baptist Conference. Six services are offered in three different Minnesotan cities: Elk River, Big Lake, and Zimmerman. The church is heavily involved in outreach to these communities. Sermons are based on biblical principles and taught in one- to twenty-week topical series on subjects such as who God is, following Jesus, relationships, and finances. The music at the church is a contemporary but gritty rock, and there are occasional covers of popular secular songs that fit that week's message. Childcare with age-appropriate biblical teaching is available during the services at every campus. The Crossing has grown from a church of 40 to over 2,000 since its beginning in 2004.
