Meet Pastor Jim Playter

I remember what my life was like when I was young. It was futile and hopeless. When I discovered there was a God who loved me, it changed my life. I never knew what being unconditionally loved felt like. But now I know what that kind of contentment is. That's why I have a passion to show others what I've found. Not so that they will become a "notch" on my spiritual gun belt. But, rather, so that they too can know this peace. The world rejects the Christianity most often seen today, because it is unloving, and uncaring. It's too judgemental and rigid; and it's very self-serving. But if we could show others that Jesus is synonymous with love and acceptance, then they might just open up. That's what I think people of faith need to be taught. They need to be taught that people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. The Crossroads is a place where we will love God passionately through worship, and love the world passionately through service to our community. Come along with us, and find the peace and contentment you've always wanted.

Personal Thought's, pictures and story's are encouraged. We have the opportunity to show the world what Christ looks like. By sharing our storys, of what he is doing. Now don't forget we also need to show the true side. Our fun, pain, joy, and laughter. So anything that falls within that is encouraged. If you want the login information to post something please e-mail webmaster@thecrossroadsjc.org I will send you the information and password.
