Frequently Asked Questions
Are your services livestreamed if I'm not ready to visit in person?
Yes! We understand that sometimes you want to “check us out” from home first. You can find our livestream and archived sermons on our YouTube Channel. We’d love for you to join us online, but we’d love to meet you in person even more!
What happens if my baby gets fussy during the service?
Don’t worry about it—we love families! However, if you feel more comfortable stepping out, we have a nursery area available where you can still care for your child. We also offer childcare during the service. You chose what works best for your family!
What kind of Bible Studies do you offer?
What Bible Studies do you offer?
At Crossroads, we believe that discipleship is a lifelong journey of becoming more like Christ. Our goal for every Bible study is to help you grow in your faith by providing a firm foundation in the Word of God. We value deep study, intentional prayer, and authentic fellowship as key tools for your spiritual growth.
Whether you are a new believer or have walked with Christ for decades, our studies are designed to help you understand the “whole counsel of God” and apply it to your daily life.
Sunday Morning Bible Study (9:30 AM)
Wednesday Night Bible Study & Prayer (6:30 PM)
Young Adult Bible Study (2nd & 4th Tuesdays)
There are programs for children during all of our Bible study times to ensure parents can focus on their spiritual growth.
Men’s & Women’s Ministries
Throughout the year, our Real Men’s Ministry and Women of the Word (W.O.W.) host specific studies aimed at helping men and women grow into the leaders and servants God has called them to be. These studies emphasize biblical accountability and the practical application of Truth in our homes and workplaces.
The Goal: In every group and every lesson, our prayer is the same: that you would be “transformed by the renewal of your mind” and equipped to live a life that honors the Creator.
What support do you offer to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community?
Yes. We are happy to provide ASL interpretation for our services upon request. Please contact us via email (tracycrossroads@gmail.com) or phone (209-833-8423) before you plan to attend. We also offer live transcription and assistive listening.
Additionally, many people in our congregation know sign language and would love to meet you!
Do you offer accommodations for children with special needs?
Yes. We want every child to be able to learn about God’s Word in a way that works for them. Accommodations are available upon request so that we can best serve your family. Please email us or call the church office at 209-833-8423 in advance so we can have a plan in place for your visit.
Who is welcome at Crossroads?
Everyone. Whether you are a skeptic with big questions about science and the Bible, a new believer looking for a place to start, or a long-time Christian looking for “meat” and deep study—there is a seat for you here. We are a community of people at different stages of our spiritual lives, all looking to the Word of God for answers.
What kind of music do you use?
Music in the worship service is a tool to aid our worship of God – not for entertainment. Our music is screened for truth in the lyrics and consistency between the message and music before we use it. Attention is paid to the Biblical content, and musical quality of the historical and contemporary hymns, psalms, and spiritual songs that we sing.
What Bible version do you use in your services?
Those in our congregation typically use the HCSB or the ESV. Pastor Tim preaches from the HCSB referring to other translations as it is beneficial.
Do you have any programs for kids?
YES! On Sundays, we have childcare for babies and toddlers. We have a children’s church during the sermon time for preschool and young elementary age children. Children may go to this class or stay with their parents. This is left up to the discretion of the parents.
On Wednesday night we have Answers Academy for kids. Your kids have questions and the Bible has Answers.
Our Answers Academy uses materials from Answers in Genesis that cover
- The big story of the Bible in Chronological Order (Genesis through Revelation)
- Apologetics (defending your faith)
- Science and the Bible
There is no cost for this program. It is provided to the children of Tracy by Crossroads Baptist Church.
Answers Academy is for children PreK through 5th grade.
Answers Academy meets August – April.
Aftershock Youth – for Middle School students 6th – 12th grade.
What is the pastor's preaching style?
Our conviction that the church has suffered because it has downgraded the preaching of the Word. An appropriate amount of time is dedicated to the expository preaching of the Word and its application to our lives today. We believe in saying what the the Bible says, where the Bible says it, with emphasis the Bible gives!
What movements are you a part of?
We are not followers of any modern movements. The Bible clearly teaches that No man seeks after God except the Father draws him. We do not seek to entertain or to make people comfortable but rather to challenge, exhort, and edify. We gather to worship, scatter, witness, and share the love of Christ with our neighbors. We like to say that we are “Savior Sensitive.” We fellowship with the General, and California Associations of Regular Baptist Churches.
