Crossroads is a wonderful church! If you're looking for a community of people that love God and supports people into becoming everything God created them to be, equipping us to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the world we live in. You can find family at Crossroads! read more

I've been attending Crossroads for years and LOVE this church! Everyone is very welcoming and it's really easy to get involved because of all the groups they have. The midweek services really helped me to build community and make a big church feel smaller. Shoutout to the awesome YA group! The campus is beautiful and everything is well maintained inside and out. 11/10, would recommend read more

Pastor isn't just full of head knowledge. What an AMAZING young Man with an incredibly Loving Heart. What's miraculous to me is all the pastors look Happy!! read more

I attended Crossroads most of my young adult life. When I was questioning my faith as a young queer person, I reached out to Pastors Daniel Fusco and Bill Ritchie but was met with silence. I posed the same questions to the church in a public forum and they blocked me on Facebook, so I will share some of my questions below. But first, I want to address some of the strange and inappropriate leadership choices I witnessed at Crossroads Church. 1) When I was in the church children's choir, church leadership voted that children that were not active members of the church could not be cast in lead roles in the church productions. 2) When I was in the youth group, my small group leader encouraged me to pursue a relationship with a church staff member in his mid-twenties. I was 17. 3) When my youth pastor and his partner struggled with porn addiction and infidelity, they made them confess to the entire youth group of teens instead of a regular sermon that day. 4) When my small group leader left the church for personal reasons, they refused to find us a replacement leader and told the older girls in the small group to lead it. We all ended up leaving the church. 5) Pastor Daniel Fusco is a white man with dreadlocks. From my understanding, he is Italian American. Dreadlocks are culturally significant to the Black community, and many people find it offensive appropriation for white people to wear this hairstyle. This is what I posted on Facebook that led to the church blocking me: Crossroads Community Church I appreciate your response. I won't be emailing y'all privately, but I'll give you the chance to answer some of my questions here... How can a loving, just god command the death of innocent children? How do you justify these horrific acts with your beliefs around hell/the afterlife? I've provide some references below: Firstborn of Egypt (Exodus 12:29-30) - During the 10th plague, God kills all the firstborn sons in Egypt, including children. The Flood (Genesis 7:21-23) - the global flood destroys every living creature on earth, including children and babies Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:24-25) - When God destroys these cities for their wickedness, the passages mention no exceptions being made for the children living there. Amalekites (1 Samuel 15:3) - This command to "utterly destroy" the Amalekites specifies killing even the infants and children. Slaughter of Midianite Children (Numbers 31) - After the victory over the Midianites, God commands the Israelites to kill all the Midianite boys and non-virgin women, sparing only the young virgin girls "for themselves". Yikes Curse of Jericho's Rebuilt Walls (1 Kings 16:34) - God curses anyone who rebuilds Jericho's walls to bury their oldest and youngest sons under the rebuilt gates.. Abimelech's Atrocities (Judges 9:45-57) - After defeating Shechem, Abimelech has all the inhabitants killed, including women and children being burned alive in a tower, which the text attributes to God repaying Abimelech's violence. Captivity Curses (Leviticus 26, Deuteronomy 28) - Among the curses warned for disobedience, God threatens to allow enemies to butcher Israelites' sons and daughters. Babylon's Judgement (Psalm 137:9, Isaiah 13:16) - As judgment, God sanctions the horrific act of Babylonian children being seized and dashed against rocks. Death for Blasphemy (Leviticus 24:10-23) - A blasphemer's son is stoned to death by all Israel at God's command for the offense. Massacre of Innocents (Matthew 2:16-18) - the Gospel portrays God as allowing Herod's slaughter of male infants in Bethlehem. Conquest of Canaan (Deuteronomy 2:34, 3:6) - God commands the Israelites to "utterly destroy" multiple ethnic groups, including "man and woman, child and infant" The prophet Hosea relays God saying "I will dash them to pieces" regarding the fate of Samaria's children (Hosea 13:16). Crossroads said they would only meet with me privately due the nuance of my questions. My response: I don't trust beliefs/religions that can only have hard conversations privately and are so nuanced they have to be shared behind closed doors. I think everyone should be very cautious about that when looking for any kind of leadership. The Bible says to "shout like a trumpet" and to "rebuke" people that contradict those teachings . I am giving you a chance to do that publicly, but understand if the defense of your religion is too difficult to make. read more

Update: I left this church several years ago. Sadly, they aren't teaching through the Word anymore, and especially since c_vid, they seem to have gone in the wrong direction. Daniel even quietly bowed out of the Calvary Chapel organization without telling his congregation. Tragic. I am now attending Simple Faith Calvary Chapel, where they carry on Chuck Smith's deep Biblical teaching. Pastor Bill Henry is a wonderful pastor and a skilled teacher. Join us! read more

I got the idea on Christmas Eve to go and celebrate Jesus' birthday. When my husband and I were on our way into where the service was being held, when a young man who appeared to be representing your the church and demanded that my husband open his fanny pack so he could see if he had any "weapons" inside of his bag. He said that if we refused to allow him to search his bag we had to leave. We have never been rejected from any church in our lives. We were so embarrassed I wanted to cry. Here I was so excited to attend their service because I watched the advertisements on TV all week. It looked like it was going to be lots of fun celebrating Jesus' birthday!! You all did to us just like what was done to Mary and Joseph, turned us away. By the way we had no problem being searched but the other people who were entering weren't being asked if they had any weapons. By the way, we are both 67 years old and disabled. My husband has a profound limp and I've had 3 back surgeries in the last 3 years. I walk with a cane or walker as needed. Thanks but no thanks, read more

Awesome serviced and the people are passionate about Christ! The pastors are willing to help, the people make you feel welcome.

My wife and I were baptized there. It's a good place to go. The only reason we became put off is because we felt Pastor Daniel became too self absorbed into his own image and quasi celebrity aspirations. The constant plugging of his books. The constant traveling to sell it to other church's and the fact that during the church picnic he was walking around with bodyguards like a celebrity. Just rubbed us the wrong way. I think all Church's are becoming this way now to be honest and to me personally, it's not what I'm into. read more

I love to attend Crossroads when I'm visiting my family in town. I consider it my church home away from home. Pastor Daniel's messages are biblically sound and easy to follow. I love the music & worship time. I come back every chance I get read more

I can't tell you how often the Sunday morning message meets me where I am at. Religion is broken , God is Not- This place speaks beyond any denomination. I would call myself a "recovering Catholic" This is a ministry about God not doctrine. read more

To whoever see's this review, know that it's been difficult to write this. I wrote this for awareness for others with disabilities of any kind and for those that have service dogs. This church, after three years of my attendance never said a word or gave me a complaint then one day the Executive Pastor Gabe Moreno told me I was no longer allowed to sit in my usual seat. The church leaders came together to vote I would have to sit off on the far side away from everyone. This is discrimination and segregation which is against the federal law. I planned to sue them but I decided I'm going to leave it in Gods hands for Him to deal with this church. I tried to talk to Pastor Fusco who always greeted my service dog with love and kindness and then he washed his hands of the decision and told me he didn't want to get in the middle of it. I was so disappointed and hurt by this. I've seen that Crossroads Community Church favors the members that have money and financially well off and if you're in the financial low class, you're looked down upon, Pastor Amira refused to allow me to be on the prayer team, Pastor Johnnie has discriminated again me and Pastor Aram allows men that have a porn addiction to minister to their youth. I know we are all sinners and broken, but church leaders should treat everyone equally and have Godly wisdom. read more

Best family church, we have been there over 10 years, the most down to earth and humble family. Yes it's very large but if you get connected into a volunteer group or small group you feel so connected and comfortable! They welcome all walks of life to visit, and just the best preacher in the world! We absolutely adore Pastor Daniel! read more

Love this church! I've gone to Crossroads since 2006 and have met so many awesome people who have a passionate love for Jesus. Yes Crossroads is huge and it's easy to get overwhelmed. But it's even easier to join a small group and to get involved in ministry, where you'll make so many good friends who share a love for Jesus. I encourage anyone who is in the southwest Washington area to come visit our campus on 78th St. read more

I have attended Crossroads Vancouver on and off for 6 years. I never "joined" due to super loud music at all services. Kept waiting for a volume balance that never happened. The main reason I kept coming back, is Pastor Daniel and his down-to-earth style of teaching the congregation. The congregation and leaders are all friendly & helpful. Unfortunately, I finally stopped attending because the music is WAY TOO LOUD. ****They even have large plastic containers of foam ear plugs available for attendees, at the back of the Church!! REALLY?? I am not alone. Many I know have stopped attending, due to a headache after the loud music every week. High decibel music can actually damage our hearing....especially kids & teens. God is watching HIS people drop away, due to being physically uncomfortable. Ugh!! Some folks want & need to praise the Lord in a gentler manner. It would be awesome to have one service available, with music that draws us in, not blasts us out. I do watch Pastor Daniel's TV (ABC) broadcast on Sunday night. Yet, I miss being involved with other Christians. Dear Pastor Daniel, please provide a quieter alternative, and I'll gladly come back. Thank you. read more

This is the best church I have ever been to in my life and I have grown up in church. Pastor Daniel Fusco is absolutely incredible. I crave his word and how passionate he is about preaching to us about the word of God. The community is so wonderful. If you are a believer or even a non believer I am sure you'll feel inspired after you leave the service. If I could go to this church everyday I honestly would--it's really good. If you like Joel Osteen, Pastor Daniel is even better and has ever better stories and jokes! read more

Crossroads is welcoming, has amazing worship and sermons, and seeks to serve the community. This is an awesome church!

I love this church. Pastor Daniel speaks truth with love. Straight out of the Bible. God is moving in our lives here and in turn we are refilled spiritually and emotionally so we can in turn take love back out into our community. I am thankful for a fantastic youth group that is mentoring my teens on navigating middle school and high school in todays world. read more

Crossroads Community Church - Pastor Daniel Fusco, Lead Pastor. - Churches Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

We love this church. The live music is amazing. Our kids love their Sunday school program. Daniel Fusco is great!

I put 3 stars because this is more of a question to anybody who might know. What is Crossroads position on homosexuality? I don't mean the run-around answer...I mean the real, straight up answer. Do they demonize homosexuality and gay marriage? I used to go to Crossroads youth group when I was a kid and it was awesome. That was when Paul Jones was the youth minister there and his wife was my teacher at my school. The worship music, the whole vibe was and I really loved going there. But back then I honestly didn't even know that there are a million different denominations of Christianity and had no idea which one was the one I was being taught. I thought that all Christian churches taught the same stuff ! I don't consider myself religious really but I'm not at all opposed to Christianity however my son who is about the age that I was when I went to the youth group, he's gotten super into learning about Christianity and I think that a youth group could be really good for him. But now that I'm much older and now that I know that Crossroads is a Baptist church...I'm a little hesitant. There are just so many dang denominations and then so many variations in beliefs even on a local level, it seems. I just really don't want to send my kid here to learn about Christianity if the teachings are like hard-core fundamentalist or something...so I'm hoping someone might be able to tell me more about their experience at Crossroads and the teachings. I'm not saying I need the church to be waving the rainbow flag or anything but I just don't want my kid being taught that homosexuality is to be demonized. That's one of the few hard lines I have because I just think it's such an absurd concept to oppose same-sex relationships. Thanks so much to anybody who can help! read more

Everyone is looking for something when they enter a church. Connecting with God would be a priority for most, myself included. Jesus is loved, worshiped, taught here and lives are tranformed because of it. My first Sunday, Pastor DeStefano preached. I have been a believer for a long time. I was so excited to learn something fresh and relevant to me. Twenty plus were saved. They were immediately met with to give them bibles and next step instructions. Baptisms are also happening. Those reasons are enough for me to attend. Honestly, I am new to Vancouver so I am looking for fellowship, friendship and opportunities for service. I was contacted by phone about joining a small group and received a letter from Pastor Fusco after my first week there. There is activity in every aspect of devoted Christianity including missions. I have been there twice and will attend for awhile to learn more. All of this being said, if you just want to slip in and out on holidays or Sunday mornings, or stream from home, you will experience a good sermon and a welcoming atmosphere with 0 pressure for anything else. read more

Great service, great pastors, great message. The worship is fantastic and a great production event...you can tell love and time is put into it every week. Pastor Daniel gives a great message and speaks in "normal" talk..even I understand what the message is. We love the people, feel very welcome from the first time we stepped in and there is something for every age group in our family. read more

Crossroads has been my home church for 9 years. I love it more and more every day. Pastor Bill always did an amazing job of bringing highly relevant biblical teaching, and Pastor Daniel continues the tradition with humor and grace. No church is perfect. It is made up of people. The only one I know who was perfect was Jesus Himself. He is taught, loved and followed here. His love is palpable and ready for you to come receive it. The music is awesome. Brings you into the presence of God every time, ready to worship. The acts of service to our great community are never ending - we are an involved church. We want to see the change. And it's happening. Come check us out! read more

Great community - awesome people, wonderful campus.

Just visited this church today for the 8am service and was completely turned off by the loud music. So I loaded a decibel app on my phone and saw that the range was above 100 dB on some of the songs. This is dangerously high, so I talked to the sound technicians and they said that theirs peaked at 90 dB. But I pointed out that their soundboard was pretty far back in the church. Anyway, they seemed unwilling to lower the sound level and lots of people around me complain that whenever they suggested lowering the volume they get ignored. So I just don't plan to return. Thank you. read more

We are new to Vancouver and today was our first service! This was the best I have been to in over 20 years. THe music was not too loud so I'm guessing this was changed since the reviews were posted. This will be our new Church home. Amazing service! read more

You know what's really embarrassing is when you call a church and admit you and your husband need counseling and the lady that answers the phone is so bothered that you even called. Then I got forwarded to A voicemail. I left a voicemail for the woman who is in charge of all that about counseling and did not receive a phone call in return. I haven't heard anything about them since. I don't understand why you would even offer counseling? read more

I love this big church - normally not a big church goer but this community acts like a small group in their effort to get people connected. I love the leaderships commitment to engage with the community at large, and I love the enthusiasm for Jesus through meaningful worship and encouraging teaching. So glad to have found a church I can enthusiastically attend, even when I'm home sick through their crossroadslive.tv - genuine lovers of God read more

This is a church that cares about who you are as an individual and you are always greeted with a smile and a handshake which even though the church is large you leave filling like you are cared for and welcomed and you will leave filled week after week! The United student ministry is such a blessing for youth age students, and provides ways for them to be involved and learn to walk with Jesus! read more

We have been coming to Crossroads for several months now. We love The pastor and fuel up for the week here. They always have a relevant message that we can apply to our every day lives. There's also lots of opportunities to get involved and fellowship. Also a great place for kids. My 10 and 13 year old step sons love the groups they go to while we attend service. read more

The pastors are gossips. Don't go for counseling here. Whatever you confess is not kept between you and the pastor, instead, at the weekly pastor meeting the staff is required to divulge details of their counseling sessions and it is then discussed. It is deeply disturbing. After it happened to me, I left. I went to my assigned pastor for help, not to be discussed and derided by a bunch of immature bible school boys who told their friends, who told their friends, and so on. The leadership is fixated on boasting that Crossroads is the largest church in Clark County. It isn't. Not by a long shot. There is NO membership here, so people come and go, the act of filling out a visitor's card which is added to the mailing list. On Sunday mornings, two of the pastors do a head count (more accurately called counting "butts-in-pew") and Bill Ritchie then multiplies it. He can't accept that his sanctuary is not packed so he exaggerates the numbers. Yup, that was Bill Ritchie's ego. He has recently stepped down, but the culture of big, better, best still remains. Sound and lighting excel anything you'll experience in a professional theater. Now, I ask, how does THAT glorify Christ? Does it bother anyone other than me that too many churches--like Crossroads--are hollywood-ized. The spotlighted staff and musicians revel that they are projected onto the large screens. Crossroad has fallen prey to the cult of personality and imagined celebrity. When Bill Ritchie pastored the church (he "owned it"), he picked and chose the people to whom he'd pay attention, using them to promote whatever cause-celebre he wanted to promote. Then he'd tire of them and cease talking to them. Ritchie was not a nice man. He spoke from the pulpit on several occasions saying that church members were to donate their free time to his church, not to community groups. He was adamant we cut off ties with our non-Crossroads friends, except in the case of witnessing to them and luring them into his pews. If all you want is a busy, busy, busy co-dependent social life where working as a secular volunteer AND being intelligent / well-read is considered ungodly, then THIS is the church for you. read more

I am rating this as a "3" and puting it under "positive" review because I'm not sending a review, rather, asking a question. I have been a attender at Crossroads at the SW Portland campus since it's inception. I have been away on vacation and was told when I returned that this campus has been closed. This information was from an older couple who said that one morning they were told that this would be the last service at SW Portland. No notice at all that this was coming. Is this correct?? read more

This church offers a beautiful place to worship with a lot of great services available to the community. The fancy lights, cameras, and beautiful music make this a modern place to worship. However, beware of the social politics that exists. Hypocrisy runs rampant in the social groups. Pay attention to the church members using god as a way to extort judgment upon others. Pastors manipulating the poorest in the community trying to convince them that the only way to be right by god is to donate to our big church. I liked the modern approach but it started to feel like a cult. The pastor on multiple occasions made a claim that the world is coming down on our religion. They aren't coming down on our religion. It's the worlds experience with the judgmental nobodies in the church creating a clique like mentality that the world is coming down on. Exploiting hopeless people for their personal ego gain. At this church you're either in the Jesus club filled with stale and unexciting people or you're out. A few folks in this place are Jesus extremist so tread lightly. If you feel like you're holy and on a saint level this may be the church for you. read more

No complaints here. Happy as can be. Great avenues for connections and a safe place for visitors. Don't hesitate to visit to try out. They would love to see you! read more

Great Bible believing church. Gifted pastors who preach directly from Scripture, verse by verse. Great music and worship time. We have been attending this church for almost 30 years, but have visited a lot of churches when traveling. Always glad we have our local church to come home too! read more

Pastor Fusco is fantastic. I actually go home and listen to additional sermons online, that's how good his sermons are! Any reviews on the prior pastor who I know nothing about don't seem particularly relevant to me given that he is no longer there. read more

We enrolled a 15 month foster child to the Daycare there. She had bit a couple ofchildren, and was bitten by a couple children. She didn't bite anyone for three days, and the teachers said she was doing really, biting was normal for this age group, and well and getting along great. The third day after she had bitten someone last, the director called my wife on a Thursday afternoon to say our foster child could no longer come to daycare. She said it was because a parent had complained and was refusing to bring their child there as long as our foster child was enrolled. I can only surmise it must have been a member of many years who tithed a huge amount of money for the director to immediately expell our foster child. The director admitted to my wife she had never kicked an infant out of daycare before. We brought this 15 month old child to this daycare because of its faith based doctrine. We are extremely disappointed that the message apparently preached at the Sunday services doesn't extend to theschool or daycare that it runs. If one parent can influence a school to kick out a 15 month old child based solely on their connections or financial contribution, it is a place that youmiggt not want to take your child to, or attend services there. What is actually going on behind the scenes isn't necessarily what you can see from the altar. read more
