Crossroads Community Church launched just over two years ago in an old movie house in a small town in South Alabama nestled up to Fort Rucker. We joke that Crossroads is like a spiritual “bus station” for Army flight school students and their families. They come to Fort Rucker to learn to fly helicopters. They come to Crossroads to learn to live out their faith. The reality is, we reach many and keep no one. A good bit of our congregation cycles in and out with each graduating class at Fort Rucker.
Then we noticed something. As more and more “Roadies” deployed, our virtual congregation grew. Today, a huge number of people attend Crossroads without ever setting foot in the building. In fact, 25% of Crossroads financial support comes on-line from Roadies defending the cause of freedom on foreign soil.
Enter Crossroads Afghanistan: A connecting point for soldiers serving their country, and living their faith. In 2011, you’ll be able to watch weekly services LIVE, or download them for later, and have access to small group resources, class curriculum, Bible study helps, and a variety of useful on-line, downloadable resources. Our Campus Pastor, Matt, on the ground in Afghanistan, will work to launch group viewing of Crossroads webcasts, organize small groups at various Forward Operating Bases (FOB’S), and be there to mentor, to lead and to bring a bit home to front.
