as a church, we want to tackle the gravest areas of darkness in our state:



1 • Theological Famine

We hope to create robust, church-based, cohort driven, intensive theological training for members through church planters locally and ultimately regionally by developing Crossroads Theological Institute and partnering with Grimke Seminary.





2 • Absence of Biblical Counseling

We hope to provide biblical counseling, train up biblical counselors, and ultimately create a church-based center for biblical soul care and training through Crossroads Biblical Counseling Center.

3 • Opioid Crisis

We hope to research and pray about our role as a church in WV in proclaiming the light of the Gospel in the darkness of addiction and becoming a community of recovery for our state.


4 • Fatherlessness

We hope to grow in supporting our church members and community in foster care and adoption while addressing the source of fatherlessness with the Gospel.

5 • Void of Rural Church Planting

We hope to see WV move from a stepping-stone of ministry to a destiny and calling for church planters

and missionaries through planting new churches and training church planters with Acts 29 WV and Crossroads Churches.
