follow Jesus & join crosstown chicago
Follow Jesus. Find your people. Take your place.
At the center of everything we do is one simple truth: Jesus Christ is Lord.
He is not just a teacher to admire. Not just a story to believe. He is the Savior who stepped into our brokenness, died for our sins, and rose again with power.
And He is still calling people to follow Him today.
what does it mean to follow Jesus?
To follow Jesus is to respond to His love by surrendering your life to Him.
God loved us first.
Jesus Christ gave Himself for us.
Salvation is received through faith and repentance.
We don’t earn grace.
We surrender to it.
Saying yes to Jesus means that:
We turn away from sin and trust Him fully to forgive us
We are united with Him through water baptism in His name
We are filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit
We begin new, transformed lives shaped by His Word
The same Holy Spirit who moved in the Early Church is still at work — transforming hearts, renewing minds, and forming Christ in us.
Following Jesus is not about religious performance.
It’s about a surrendered heart and a Spirit-filled life.
what does it mean to join crosstown?
We believe faith is personal — but never private.
To join Crosstown is to commit to:
Growing in Christ as a devoted disciple
Faithfully engaging in the life of our church community
Serving together to advance God’s mission in Chicago and beyond
We’re Christian by conviction — anchored in the historic confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.

We’re Apostolic by heritage — committed to the teachings and practices of the Early Church as revealed in the Book of Acts.
Rooted in Scripture. Open to the Spirit. Committed to God’s mission in the world.
This is not a place to spectate.
