Our Story
In 1987 Linus Morris, founder of Christian Associates (CA), came with a team to Amsterdam to start Crossroads International Church. Their vision was to start a church for unchurched people...because people matter to God, even if they don’t know it yet. Using the English language as a common bond, the church began with just three international families. In response to the vision, it grew, and more and more people from Amsterdam and the surrounding area found a home in Crossroads and saw their lives transformed by Christ. Although many were internationals, Dutch people also joined, and Crossroads soon became both a local church and an international church. This has remained the pattern, and today Crossroads is a community of over 40 nationalities. Some of our members are 'expats’ - people on short or mid-term assignments in Holland - but many are permanent residents, both Dutch and non-Dutch.
Linus has since left the church to focus on leading a churchplanting movement. But the vision remains strong: to be 'strong at the centre but open at the edges'... which means to make room for all those wanting to explore what it might mean to encounter God today. And then, to make a safe place where such an encounter can take place...
What can you expect?
Expect a casual atmosphere with contemporary music, messagesof grace that you can take with you, a great children’s church, and free coffee.
Whatever your circumstances—single, married, single again, with or without children—and no matter where you’ve been or what you’ve done, you matter to God... and you matter to us.
