Who We Are
Since the beginning, Crosspoint Church has been known as a place where
All Kinds of People Discover and Follow Jesus.
Back in 2004, while on staff at North Coast Church in Vista, CA, Steve Redden felt God's call to start a church in Temecula.
Today, you will see Crosspoint's four core values lived out:
Jesus is Central, the Bible is Final, Relationships are Transformational, and Unity & Diversity are Essential.
