As Pastor of Crossroads Community Church, I have become very passionate about the value of relationships in ministry. This passion has reshaped my philosophy of ministry and has added great significance to the focus of the ministry at Crossroads. So, as you get to know us, you will see that we are not all about ministry programs and activities. In fact, it is my belief that ministry does not primarily take place in meetings and formal gatherings; rather, it is through relationships that people are impacted the most. Therefore, our ministry plan is simple—we desire to CONNECT people to one another so that they might BUILD relationships with one another, and, through those relationships, their lives might be TRANSFORMED by the power of Christ.
Getting Started
Our weekly small groups are a great place to make a first contact and get connected to new people, so we have designed this ministry to be our primary venue for getting to know our neighbors within the community. Our desire is to make our small groups and our Sunday worship gathering an exercise of relationship building in order that God might use those relationships to transform lives by bringing people to faith in Christ and helping us to grow in that faith. So please give us the privilege of connecting with you by visiting our worship gathering or a small group meeting in your neighborhood. Or, shoot me an e-mail. I always enjoy connecting with people in this way and would love to have the opportunity to meet you.
Grateful for the privilege to serve,
Pastor Jason Unzicker

Small Group Ministry
Small Groups are at the heart of our ministry. Most of our Small Groups meet in the homes of our members as we seek to build relationships in our local communities for the end purpose of winning souls for Jesus Christ.
Leadership Training
We believe in investing our resources in proper leadership training. This involves leadership studies at the elder level and leadership mentoring for our congregation.
Prayer Walks
We believe in taking the gospel to the mission field of our homes, neighborhood, schools and places of work. Monthly prayer walks involve congregational prayer on site in various mission fields in our community.
Counseling and Congregational Care
Part of strengthening the local community of faith involves coaching one another through transitional times in life and just being there when someone is in need. We offer pastoral counseling and care ministries for times such as these. We also offer Professional Counseling services through New Hope Counseling.

Village Creek Bible Camp is located on 220 beautiful acres in the Mississippi Valley of N.E. Iowa and provides numerous camping opportunities for us including Summer Youth Camps as well as Youth, Couples, Scrapbooking, Men and Boys, and Women and Girls Retreats throughout the year.
