The Crossroads Cafe is a place for friends to gather and relax before and after services. The Café Team helps to encourage these environments by serving quick and fun foods, specialty coffee drinks and the most popular cold drinks. We have a lot of fun serving the wide variety of people that attend our church, but we especially enjoy serving the first time attendee who is wowed by the experience of a café inside of a church.

Come join our team if you love meeting and serving people or if you just enjoy making great coffee drinks. If you would like more information serving on the Cafe Team, please email Greg Rudrick.

Our team members work behind the scenes to ensure that the church is always a clean and appealing place, where everyone can feel comfortable inviting guests to visit. This team’s goal is the have the church ready for all services and activities in such a manner that the cleanliness of the environment is never a consideration.

To provide a warm and caring attitude to those who enter through the doors of Crossroads Community Church.

Because we are the first face that a guest sees when they walk through the doors, it is important to offer them warmth and comfort that will make them to want to come back again and again. Be aware of individuals and their response when entering the doors.  A newcomer is usually nervous and unfamiliar with the surroundings of Crossroads. If we believe the individual to be new to our church, we offer assistance in finding the auditorium, restrooms, children’s classrooms, etc. Always extending a hand in friendship and always wearing a warm smile to accompany the handshake.  Welcome with words such as, “Glad to see you,” “Welcome,” or “We’re so glad you are here today”. Let them know that they are important. Watch for attendees to have on our team; people with a nice smile and friendly personality and then . . . invite them into ministry and on the team!

Our team purpose is to provide safety, security, and information for our members, guests and their families through our presence.
