The Crossing Church

As the church's attendance grew, The Crossing had to hold up to four services per weekend to accommodate a large number of worshipers in the small gym.

In 2005, The Crossing completed a 2,000 seat auditorium designed to accommodate current attendees and future expansion.

They now have 3 services each week 6pm on Thursday night, 9am, and 10:45am on Sunday morning The Crossing Church decided shortly after completing the new auditorium to open in multiple locations.

The Crossing purchased and renovated an abandoned grocery store, which quickly housed the largest congregation in Macomb with an average attendance of 700 in 2010 with its two Sunday morning services at 9 AM and 10:45 AM.

It's designed to be a location that accommodates those who rely on public transportation or who prefer a smaller, more traditional church over the large congregation at 48th and Maine streets.

The site has a live band; however, it plays a recording of the Saturday evening service to end in time for bus schedules.

Located in Pittsfield, Illinois, in the JDL Building and formerly in the Pike County Senior Center, this campus was designed to serve Crossing members located in the Pittsfield area and to attract new attendees who may not have had many choices for family-friendly churches within a reasonable drive.

Since moving to the permanent location On Broadway in April 2012, attendance continues to grow at a rapid pace.

In late 2012, the remaining FCL membership took a vote to dissolve the Church and hand the property over to The Crossing with a Right of First Refusal inserted into the deed.

It features a newly remodeled 200 seat sanctuary, a basketball gym, a full kitchen, and several classrooms.
