Affiliations

CrossWay Community Church is not formally affiliated with any denomination or family of churches.  Legally, CrossWay is an independent local church governed by an elected body of elders.  Independence is not a posture that CrossWay has adopted but a position it finds itself in as a result of God’s providence. 

CrossWay Community Church of Milwaukee was planted by CrossWay Community Church (Bristol) in March 2009.  CrossWay Milwaukee and CrossWay Bristol are not legally associated with each other but enjoy a shared mission in Southeast Wisconsin, values that define our local churches, and commitment to build our churches upon the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Gospel Coalition is a group of pastors and churches that exist to promote gospel-centered ministry and biblically-faithful resources for the church. CrossWay shares the doctrinal convictions and theological vision for ministry as outlined in their Foundation Documents. CrossWay plays an important role in the church-focused leadership of this organization.

Sovereign Grace Ministries has probably been the single most effective instrument God has used to inform our mission and defining values as a local church.  Though we are not in formal affiliation with Sovereign Grace, we enjoy a partnership in the gospel, a shared vision for the local church, and an intimacy of fellowship with this movement of churches.

Desiring God Ministries has most influenced CrossWay through the writing and teaching of John Piper, Pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church.   Though we are not in formal affiliation with Desiring God, we share John Piper’s convictions about the Bible’s teaching on God’s sovereignty, salvation, mission, suffering, and the way one should live the Christian life.
