Mission & Vision

We are a community seeking Christ and the real life transformation that comes from a relationship with Him. We desire to KNOW Christ and GROW in the Gospel so that we may GO and express His life and love at work in our lives to the world around us. Practically, we strive to be more like a family than a program run for students.

Crossroads Student Ministries serves middle school and high school (6th-12th) students and their families. Our vision is to see students raised up as devoted, wholehearted, followers of Christ. This meaning they have counted the cost, and found Christ worthy and chosen to live a life surrendered to Him. We desire to equip students to grow in their understanding of “who they are” and “why they are here”. This will be done through: seeking to know and experience God through His Word, a love of Christ and embodiment of the Gospel, development of Christian worldview, purposeful relationships, and transparent community. Practically, this will happen in large group gatherings, small group discipleship, service opportunities, and intentional events and trips.

Dave Geroux (sounds like the "Jeru" part of "Jerusalem") is our resident students pastor. He's passionate about grilling on his Weber with lump charcoal, watching U of M football, and growing or hunting for his own food. He and his bride Jaclyn have been married for over six years. They have two delightful kids -Luke (5) and Ivy (almost 2). He sincerely enjoys sharing with people not only the gospel of God, but also his life.
