Meet Crosspoint Church

Located in beautiful Missoula, Montana, Crosspoint Church is a welcoming, multi- generational church family committed to knowing God, growing in faith, and sharing His love with others. Since our beginning in 1990, Crosspoint has been a place where biblical truth is taught, meaningful relationships are built, and people are encouraged to grow in their walk with Christ. We believe church is more than a place to gather on Sundays. It’s a place to belong, serve, grow, and call home.

At the heart of Crosspoint is a strong commitment to God’s Word. We value expository preaching that is firmly rooted in Scripture, unafraid to address the challenges of today’s culture, and focused on applying biblical principles to everyday life. Our Sunday gatherings bring together more than 500 people for worship, prayer, fellowship, and teaching that encourages spiritual growth and a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.

Crosspoint’s location at the top of hill overlooking Missoula’s booming westward expansion uniquely positions the church to capture historic growth by welcoming a thriving influx of new families and retiring couples into our ministry. New attendees as well as long-time members make up a vibrant congregation representing every generation and stage of life. From children’s and youth ministries to young adults, families, singles, and seniors, we offer opportunities for people to connect, study God’s Word, and build lasting relationships. Through Bible studies, small groups, discipleship classes, and ministries such as Trail Life USA and American Heritage Girls, we strive to equip individuals and families with a strong biblical foundation. We also believe our faith should extend beyond the walls of the church, encouraging our congregation to serve others and share the love of Christ in our community and beyond.
