Crossroads Canton

Our Heart & Purpose

Just Show Up & Love

Here at Crossroads, we are known for a very familiar motto. You will often here us say, “Just show up and love”. Many people have been injured by religious organizations that, for whatever reason, have related to people in anger or judgment. Our hope is to see a church that is characterized by the love of Christ. We’ve been forgiven much, and therefore seek to welcome others with the grace that has been shown to us.

Making Disciples

Our vision is clear. We seek to make disciples who will then make more disciples. Sounds simplistic, but it is what we are called to do! Jesus was very clear on what the disciples were called to do. We see this instruction in Matthew 28:18-20.

What to Expect

Our corporate worship experiences are driven by relevant teaching and application of the scriptures to our everyday life. You can expect a one hour service which includes contemporary music, testimonies, preaching/teaching and great fellowship and creative presentations of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The environment is casual so come as you feel comfortable.

Acts 1:8

Currently we have organized our missions strategy into four categories based on Acts 1:8. Jerusalem represents our own county and community. We are certainly called not just to reach Canton, but to also minister to all of Van Zandt County. Here at Crossroads we see people from all of our surrounding cities, and we love that they have found a church home with us.

Beginning in 1982, Dr. Robinson has served churches in New Mexico and Texas for over 34 years. His life verse is Proverbs 3:5-6. “Trust in the Lord with all of your heart. Lean not unto your own understanding; In all of your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.” Dr. Robinson’s passion is to be part of a team seeking to lead Crossroads to be a congregation committed to making disciples who in turn make disciples.

Taylor serves as Associate Pastor as well as the leader of our LifeGroup and Discipleship ministries. He is the husband of Rebecca and father of Annie, John Knox, and Addie. His life-verse is 1 Chronicles 16:11, “Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.” It is his hope for Crossroads that the church grow and shine Christ’s light contagiously; that everyone who encounters us will know they have encountered Christ in us and be better for it. It is Taylor’s hope that together our church will treasure and put to active use the spiritual gifts, hearts, abilities, personalities, and experiences God has brought together here for His glory; that everything we are together and individually will reflect His glory to each other as well as those outside our fellowship.
