Crosswater Presbyterian Church

Crosswater is a daughter church plant out of Westminster Reformed Presbyterian Church in Suffolk, VA. Both congregations are part of the Presbyterian Church in America. Crosswater is in the initial stages of organization.

Our Vision

The gospel of grace is for both Christians and non-Christians.  Twice in the Bible the gospel is described as the "power of God."  Nothing else in all of Scripture is described this way except for the person of Jesus Christ himself.  Tim Keller, a pastor in Manhattan, describes the power of the gospel this way, "The gospel is the way anything is renewed and transformed by Christ - whether a heart, a relationship, a church, or an entire community. All of our problems come from a lack of orientation to the gospel."

We desire to launch a new church where Jesus and his gospel of grace are at the core of everything we are about.  Our mission is to make disciples who imitate Jesus Christ in heart and action in all areas of life. In this endeavor, we desire to see the outworking of the gospel of grace in the lives of disciples expressed through:

Renewing Grace - In a world of broken lives, the gospel of grace brings about renewal and wholeness that glorifies God.

Relentless Mission - In a world of self-absorption, the gospel of grace propels us out of ourselves and into the lives of other people.

Redemptive Community - In a world that is disconnected and constantly fragmenting, the gospel calls us to form deep, meaningful relationships in community.

We want to gather and disciple people who can see the Western Branch area with new eyes and connect the riches of Christ to the reality of people's lives.
