It was a great sermon today and we had a special light bulb moment. For the people that have been baptized in the last year, they came up a took a light bulb and plugged it in the wall fixture and it turned on. Which signifies how their lives have been changed since they ask God in to their lives. It was so touching to see, I could not hold back my tears. I serve as an usher at the 11:30am service, stop by and say HI. read more

Every time I'm in Moreno Valley visiting my best friend, we drive out to Orange County to attend The Crossing. I absolutely love this church. The facility itself is very nice- I love the open air feeling it gives. Each session lasts about 45 minutes- straight to the point, efficient and effective. Very, very nice staff and volunteers. There is always coffee and water available. The environment that this church has created is relatable and unpressured feeling. Just an all around nice place to receive the word and leave feeling good! read more

I had my first visit here Sunday after moving to the area. I chose to check it out because of the yelp reviews and here I am, confirming---It was remarkable! The atmosphere was very inviting from the minute I stepped foot here. People were very kind and warm and welcoming. A man even got the elevator for me, not even needing to use it. Just thoughtful because I had my hands full. The message was short and clear, fun and pertaining to today. My life verse happened to be included in the message...quite the coincidence! lol on top of that, the building was very well thought-through; it's inside but open to the outside, so very cool! Very much looking forward to come back! :) read more

Short Version: Check this place out! You'll love it. Long version: We've been attending The Crossing since 2016, and we absolutely love it. My wife found this church and others through Yelp after we moved to the area, but we knew this place was the one. It's a pretty low-key environment, not the typical "too much church" or overly large church. Our marriage has grown stronger, and both my wife and I have spiritually flourished because of this place. The community at The Crossing is uplifting and welcoming. From the moment you step onto the campus, you're greeted by friendly people who make you feel right at home. This church offers a variety of support and Bible study groups, so you're sure to find one that resonates with you. We also appreciate how they serve local communities and people in need across the globe. The worship songs are phenomenal and truly moving. The worship team is incredibly talented, and their music helps you forget about the worries or stresses in your life. Childcare is available and free, and there's also student ministry available. They take excellent care of our daughter, so we never have to worry about her. If you're looking for a place to call home, look no further--give them a chance. And if you see me around the campus, don't hesitate to come say hi! read more

The Crossing Church - The service time as of 2025. - Churches Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I just moved to the area and have been visiting different churches to find the right fit. Crossing Church has truly felt welcoming and uplifting. The community is warm, the services are inspiring, and I appreciate how much thought goes into every aspect of worship. After attending a few services, I've decided to make this my church home. I'm looking forward to growing spiritually here and connecting with this amazing congregation! read more

This church is so welcoming and friendly! When my husband and I decided to go back to church, we felt at home here. Great recovery ministry too!!! read more

This is a wonderful church. My partner and I visited The Crossing Church for the first time this past Sunday. The campus is beautiful. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available for the services. Since many were sitting outside, they brought their fur-babies too! I loved seeing the doggies. So cute! It is so nice that you can bring the whole family to church. Everyone is so friendly and kind. There is lots of diversity at this church. Love that! And they offer services in Spanish as well. After the service, they had tacos and a Mariachi band. It was refreshing to see all people from different walks of life, and that all cultures are welcome, regardless of age, sex, culture, and socioeconomic status. Since it was our first time, they welcomed us with a gift bag with goodies in it. The bag had a 90-day introduction of "our daily bread," a bookmark with a 90-day reading plan, a notebook for taking notes during service and a welcome brochure with all the groups and activities available with The Crossing Church. I really enjoyed Pastor Andrew, and felt he was relatable and funny, but also educational. He offered a lot of good questions (relating to the word) for participants to think about. I am a big fan of people processing information on their own accord and discovering what it means to them personally and making decisions based on that. I don't care for pastors that tell you things like "you should" or you "have to" do xyz to show your love for God, or buy this book and do what it says, etc. I didn't get any pushy vibes from Pastor Andrew. Instead, he offered great talking points, and things for the attendees to think about. He offered ideas and questions to deepen the service. It was non-judgmental, respectful, and still supported people's autonomy. I am about this approach!!! :) I also like the creative way this church celebrates people who have been newly baptized. Instead of sitting through each person getting baptized (dunked in water), each person walked over to the wall and screwed on a light bulb. I love the symbolism behind this and the unique take on celebrating the first step for those individuals. read more

The Crossing Church - Churches Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I have been attending The Crossing for almost 2 years, what an awesome church! Prior to coming to the Crossing, I visited a few local churches in the area. I have been a believer for most of my adult life and really needed to be part of a community again and church family, which I got away from. I definitely have found that at the Crossing! The people really make the difference and it starts at the top, The pastoral staff is fantastic , the teaching is amazing and applicable to all who hear it, regardless where they are in their walk of faith. Most of all, I love the way The Crossing loves people, period! It is evident that this church and congregation are passionate about advancing the Gospel and loving and teaching people in their walk of faith. They support countless local community programs as well as other important initiatives worldwide. I am so grateful God led me to this church and the relationships I've made have been a huge blessing. If your contemplating or considering a church to visit or attend, look no further than the Crossing and decide for yourself, I believe you will be glad you did. read more

Love this church! I've been coming here for a few years just sitting in the back quietly during service and saying hi to the workers but since I had my son I've been a little more talkative to the volunteers. They're super sweet and this is the only daycare my son will stay in without me getting a call. I feel safe with him in the daycare while I enjoy the service. read more

The Crossing Church is an amazing place. I can't express how grateful I am for this church. My husband and I found it years ago, noticed it while driving down the freeway. We were newlyweds and looking for a church at the time after moving to Orange County. We have now been coming for about 8 years and we still love it! After we had our first kid, it was tough to figure out how to go to church but the auditorium actually has a "mothers room" in the back for new moms where it is sound proof with rocking chairs and a diaper changing station so you can be with your newborn and still enjoy the service. How awesome is that? During the pandemic, we also did not know how to still get to church. The Crossing did a wonderful job of broadcasting their sermons and we were able to make it through the pandemic. Now that my kids are 4 and 6, they attend the kids services which are staffed by the best volunteers. TC kids has taught my kids sooooo much and they look forward to going every week. There are always fun activities, snacks, and the volunteers just love on the kids. It's really amazing. My 6 year old now is memorizing Bible verses because he wants to! We have also grown to know many of the families who attend and love the community here. The Crossing is a church for all. The environment is welcoming and the people are kind. The pastors here are down to earth, and the messages are grounded in the Word but extremely relatable and easy to understand. No matter where you are in your faith journey, the crossing meets you there. In addition, the community outreach is amazing. They have a Lifelines ministry and multiple outreach projects. I can't say enough good things about this church!!! read more

I first came to this church when it was just a large white tent. And upon my first visit, I walked in and heard the band playing "stairway to heaven". Playing it loud and sooo well. That was the first thing I noticed. Then I heard the pastors sermon and he was so high energy, funny and moving. His speach reached me and it didn't feel like a lecture. Years later I retuned to the US and sew they had built a whole campus now. It looked amazing! As I entered the campus I felt it again, this overwhelming feeling come over my body, the urge to cry and a familiar sensation. I couldn't describe it. Once again I lived away from the US and was living in a Muslim country, attempting to chase that same feeling. But to no avail. I got used to feeling god only in my heart and my mind being my church. Every time I returned to living in the country the first thing I could think of doing was returning to see if that feeling came back. And although the people had changed , the church building had changed even the pastor had changed..... the feeling has always been the same. I continue to experience this incredible warmth and emotion upon entering this place and I realized that there's never been another place that has made me feel like this. I cannot explain it. It just lives here and it waits for me and when I arrive it grabs me, holds me and keeps me going for the week. I love the crossing and I think as long as it is here, I will keep coming back to get a dose of this feeling, this closeness I feel when I'm here. It's my place to feel him, speak to him and worship my God. read more

The staff, volunteers, and small groups will support your faith exploration.

We have been attending The Crossing for about a year and a half. We love this church. It has bright, innovative, biblical teaching, great worship music and a focus on the community. One thing we especially like is that several of the pastors take turns teaching on Sunday mornings-so we get an opportunity to hear different perspectives. The church supports local schools, the Costa Mesa/OC area, missions outside the US and they have a thriving homeless ministry every Saturday. We got plugged into a small group about a month after we started attending The Crossing and it's been a great way to get to know others and get deeper into the scripture. This church has a very diverse congregation-young and older, different ethnicities, and people from a huge difference in incomes-but all come together to learn more about God. While we don't have little ones, we see a thriving youth ministry is core to the church's foundation. Come try it out! read more

I reached out to the church for hope and support and never received a response. Hi, my name is Brian Hill and I came by your church today for prayer support and met with Skip on the grounds for an hour. I am a broken 53 year old father and husband, who recently lost my 9 year old boy who was taken out of 3rd grade at Meadow Park in Irvine, by his mother to Indonesia. I lost my job and all income and ended up living in my car around the streets of Costa Mesa. My brother-in-law recently rented a room in a home nearby so that I could focus on getting work. I have yet to get a job, as I am battling with Alcohol, fear, remorse, shame, depression and my little boy sits in Indonesia doing nothing. I cannot sustain the overbearing pain and frustration with Landon no here with me and in school with his friends. My mental well-being has plummeted and I'm really scared for myself and family. I was wondering about prayer or services/volunteer work with the church? I am going to runa go fund me campaign to garner financial help. They have a return ticket in hand, however my wife refuses to come back until I'm working and have a place for us to live. Thank you read more

I have been attending weekly services at this church since 2017. I always enjoy the message each Sunday. I love the casual setting. The pastor's dress in jeans and nice shirt so I feel I don't have to dress up to show up. There are about 4 pastor's. They are all great but lead pastor, Andrew, is just wonderful!! His message is more like a motivational speech than a bible study or lecture , which I prefer. I don't like anything real heavy handed. It's always a story with a little bit of bible verse sprinkled in. Andrew always has a smile and kind words for everyone. read more

This church really caters to the down and out. Went to lifelines on a Friday night, a cross between 12 step with a Jesus twist. Whatever keeps you sober. Lots of rehab patients, mostly newcomer sobriety. Tonight was chip and cake night. The only things that turned me off was that there was not praise music. It was classic rock night with some 80s thrown in. And forgive me for being old fashioned, I was a bit turned off hearing people swear at the podium. Come on, it's the house of God. Give us some respect read more
