Immersive Experiences

We’re in the process of rolling out technology improvements to all of our sites, starting with our Oakley campus (the broadcast center of Crossroads). 

We’ve launched the beginnings of our improved worship experience through Wonderwall—a set of large screens in the Oakley campus that improve the in-person and digital worship experience. need to get more info on what this is and what images exist for us to use.

Odds are if you grew up going to church or Sunday school in the '70s, '80s, or '90s, the furniture was crappy and the carpet smelled weird. And the art on the walls of the Fellowship Hall...terrible. At what point did society start associating “church” with “poor quality”? Did Michelangelo phone it in on the Sistine Chapel? No. He gave it his best, and we’re called to do the same.

We believe the Church has the most life-giving and life-critical story to share. A story this good deserves the best storytellers, using the best tools, to reach as many people as possible.

When Crossroads started in 1996, we drained our bank account to buy a video projector nearly the size of an oven, because people who didn’t know Jesus weren’t into overhead transparencies. That philosophy is still in our DNA. The next iteration of technology at Crossroads isn’t an upgrade, it’s a step change. “Good enough” is not good enough.

Cutting-edge LED and video technology will ensure our rooms are some of the most fully immersive and creative experiences around. We look to overwhelm the senses with creativity that helps people connect with God. Our friends and neighbors who don’t yet know Jesus are worth the absolute best. And they shouldn’t think “church” is less important than what the world offers because it looks so much crappier.  So, yeah, you can feel confident inviting someone to church and won’t have to apologize about that carpet smell.
