Digital Innovations

You can now join Crossroads live every Sunday. Anyone can be a part of the experience in real time, worshiping and learning with others as it happens.

Much of our 10X growth will come through digital outreach. For many seekers, our online spaces are the front door—the first place they explore faith, meet our community, or take a next step on their spiritual journey. Everything we build must serve both new guests discovering Crossroads for the first time and enhance the experience for those already walking with us. The future of Crossroads is about deepening connection, not just widening reach.

We launched a series of workshops that brought together voices from across the church—the Anywhere team, Groups, Kids' Club, and more—to explore how people experience Crossroads on campus, online, and through our digital tools. Together, we cast a vision for how technology can make community more accessible, more welcoming, and more effective for everyone. Then came the tough but exciting work of focusing that vision into a clear roadmap—outlining the features and enhancements that will form a digital foundation to help people connect with God and with each other, wherever they are.

New and existing Spanish-speaking members now have access to translated messages across all digital platforms. Additionally there is now a dedicated destination on the Crossroads website that speaks to and supports our Spanish-speaking members so that they can more easily engage and connect with all that our church has to offer.

We’ve already proven that we can design a world-class app. Our current Crossroads Anywhere app has over 112,000 registered users, over 21 MILLION prayers prayed, and almost 8 MILLION minutes of scripture study! But it’s not time to rest on this success; it’s time to innovate and expand our digital reach.

The initial plans for the next phase of digital innovation at Crossroads are exciting. They include exploring new digital offerings for students, kids, and families with life-giving features. These could range from interactive games that teach Biblical principles to parenting tips and student connection tools; bilingual capabilities that allow ESL users to engage through digital platforms and submit prayer requests in their own language; and a more robust community tool that allows people in our Anywhere community to more fully connect and belong (think of it as a digital atrium). The next iteration of “church” is going to look different, and we feel like God is calling us to continue blazing that trail.
