Casual
Contemporary
Christ-centered
Crossview Community Church is a non-denominational family of God in Fayette, Alabama. Our congregation is a beautiful blend of previously unchurched folks and of Christians from varying religious backgrounds, including Church of Christ, Free Will and Southern Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, and Catholic.
Each of us decided that it was time for a group of people to come together and focus on the core tenets of the Christian faith without regard to traditions and rituals that for too long have divided God's people.
Crossview is a casual, contemporary, and Christ-centered body of believers that's moving from religion to relationship.
Searching for God and maybe a new way of thinking?
Looking for people who'll love you as you are now?
We can help you in your search. Come and see.
This mission statement forms the backbone of the Crossview body of believers. Everything that we do in ministry, every plan we make, every dollar we spend will find its roots in our mission statement.
Jesus defined Himself and His coming by His mission: For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many (Matt 20:28 NIV).
Everything He said and did sprang from this desire. Whether He was healing the sick or feeding the crowds or sitting in a boat while teaching, Jesus never wavered from His mission: to serve and to save the people that He loved so much.
And that's the Crossview mission as well.
In everything we do, we want to look at the world through the eyes of Jesus. We refuse to view God, the world, and each other through the eyes of religion. Crossview wants to see as Jesus sees. This perspective must then be demonstrated in the way we live or His message will fall on deaf ears.
We realize that we cannot develop this kind of character on our own. Only God, by His grace, can make that kind of change in a person. But because we stand justified (just-as-if we'd never sinned) before our Father, we make it our aim, our obligation, our privilege, to live the Spirit-controlled life. Pretty much just like a kid.
Christianity is a journey, not a destination, and we invite you to take the trip with us.
Do you find it strange that the kind of people that hung out with Jesus are not always the kind of people who hang out with us? Why did Jesus hang out with outcasts we avoid?
How often was Christ criticized for being in the presence of IRS agents, whores, thieves, drunks, and the terminally ill? The answer is: quite often. So look around your church. I'm sure there are lots of prodigals who have come back home, but what about those still wallowing in the pig sty? Do you have anyone that smells like a hangover?
We never encourage sinful behavior. Instead, we've committed ourselves to creating a place where sinners seeking healing and forgiveness can find it. Most people already recognize their many failings and faults. What they want to know is, "Can I start over? Can I make a fresh start?" Crossview's purpose is to give them Jesus. Only He can clean up their mess.
Contemporary Praise & Worship
Nothing stirs the soul like music. And King David, I believe, felt the same way (check out a little hymnal called Psalms). The Lord has blessed the Crossview family with many talented musicians and singers, and we believe in developing these musical gifts to God's glory and for building up our church family.
The Praise Team is a ministry devoted to teaching and leading the Crossview congregation in music and song. We strongly believe in contemporary-style music, with lyrics that inspire and uplift. We also encourage our people to share their musical talents with the family through singing solos or through special group presentations.
Crossview projects the words of our songs on a screen up front so that everyone, visitors and members alike, can easily sing along. We utilize Powerpoint slideshows which contain photos of our church family and are set to contemporary Christian music. If you like Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, Third Day, Kutless, and the like, you will love the music at Crossview Community Church.
Teens - Living the Life
We teach our teens to be Jesus Freaks, and ironically, this title put some people off. But when you read the stories in the Gospel accounts, there's no denying that the religious and secular worlds saw John the Baptist, Jesus Christ, and the disciples as social anomalies, as lunatics, and as freaks. They were "outsiders" not worthy of the anyone's time.
Our teenagers face an almost endless supply of temptations on a daily basis. Consequently, we don't need to lower the bar of expectations, we need to raise it !
Crossview believes we need to call our kids to a radical, fanatical, freaky faith - one that will blow their friends away! And God is blessing this ministry in a tremendous way!
Come check us out on Wednesday nights. We supply a great, interactive class and the best teen fellowship in town!
Junk to Jewels
Junk to Jewels is an ongoing, fundraising ministry for Crossview Church that was started by Karen Gordon in 2010. All of the proceeds made at J2J are given to our Loaves and Fishes Fund, an account we've established to help pay for our new building project.
We accept quality donations of clothes, electronics, appliances, dishware, and other items. Stop by the store in downtown Fayette (next door to the pool hall) anytime on Thursday-Friday-Saturday, 8:00 am - 12:00 noon.
We appreciate your support of this ministry.
Loaves & Fishes
Crossview Community Church has quadrupled in size in the last 10 years, growing from 30 people to over 130. Our current facility seats less than 100 people, and we desperately need more classrooms and space to fellowship and conduct ministry.
We are prayerfully attempting to raise $100K to build a 5,000 sq ft building on the corner of 1st St SE and 1st St NE, a tract of land we already own. In just under one year, the Lord has blessed us with raising $10K, about 10% of our goal.
We appreciate your support of this ministry. Contact us if you'd like to contribute financially to the Loaves and Fishes Fund.

Our Ministry Vision
Crossview began as a Jesus experiment, of sorts, in which we decided to treat other people the way we believed Jesus would. It was a dangerous proposition because extreme grace gets involved, and extreme grace is both unpredictable & revolutionary. Some people who otherwise thought they had no shot at standing before a righteous God received an unexpected reception at Crossview. The one Jesus himself extends:
"All who are weary, burdened, come to Me."
