Thank you for visiting the Crossway Baptist Church online home. One of our primary commitments is the faithful expository preaching of God’s word. This is because we are committed, as a church family, to glorifying the God through Biblical teaching and loving ministry to others. Please join us this Sunday as we meet together to grow in grace!
Have you ever wished that churches would tell you what the bible really says instead of what they think you want to hear? Churches can often sugercoat the truth or focus on those 'feel good' aspects of the bible. It's not just churches that can miss it, your friends probably all think that they know what the bible really says too. Everybody has an opinion, but everybody can't be right. Right?
Please join us for a 7-week series beginning Feb. 26th at 11:00 am.

In a 7 week study titled In Black & White, we will be looking at what the Bible really says in many of these issues: Heaven and Hell, How Can I be Saved?, Is the Gift of Tongues for Today?, Christ Versus Religion. These are just a few of the topics we will explore by examining what God says concerning these issues.
Matthew 28:19 and 20 establish the purpose for which every church exists. Our purpose, or mission, can be summarized in the word “disciple.” Specifically we have expressed this as two different aspects: 1) making new disciples by sharing the news of Jesus Christ, and 2) helping disciples to grow in maturity. Helping others to be disciples and better disciples is a dynamic work of God that he does through his people. Therefore, our mission is to be a dynamic church in Bakersfield that displays the grace of God to those in our sphere of influence.
We accomplish this simple mission through several avenues.
1) We are committed to showing people the glory of Christ so that they can have a saving relationship with Christ. We do this through preaching and by having face to face moments where we personally share the message of Salvation with people.
2) We are committed to developing community—genuine friendships where we can help each other become more like Christ. We do this through small groups, bible studies, Crossway café, and other social gatherings where we meet to encourage each other and study God’s Word.
3) We are committed to worship as a community. As we try to spread the grace of God and grow in that grace we find ourselves in awe of God and our hearts naturally delight in expressing worship for his greatness and goodness. We hope that as our guest you might find our worship contagious!
The school is located at 7315 Harris Road in the Silver Creek Community in southwest Bakersfield. Come enjoy friendship, worship, and biblical teaching with us.
