Frequently Asked Questions

Is Crosspoint Affiliated with any denomination or group?

Yes. Crosspoint Church is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, the Baptist General Convention of Texas, and the Collin Baptist Association in Collin County, TX.

Why not just be an "independent" church?

We are an independent church! Every Baptist Church is completely independent. There is no denominational control or hierarchy, as there is in most other denominations. Each church is self-governed and determines its own affairs.

What are the advantages of affiliating with the Baptist Conventions and Associations?

It allows us to identify with other Christians around the world who are known for their commitment to the Bible. Unlike other groups, the Baptist has no man-made "creed." The Bible is our only authority.

It also allows our church to participate in the largest missionary organization in the world. Through the Baptist "Cooperative Program" we help support over 7,500 missionaries in 104 countries around the world.

What is Crosspoint's doctrine?

For our Christian doctrine, please see the Baptist Faith & Message.

How do I find peace with God?

Everyone is born a sinner. Romans 3:23 reveals that "...all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God..." Sin separates you from God. Because God loves you, He does not want you to be separated from Him. God sent a way for each person to be brought back into His fellowship: Jesus Christ. Romans 6:23 says, "for the wages (or payment) of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Although people should die for their sins, God, in His love, sent His own son, Jesus, to take their place. God allowed Jesus' death to be payment for the sins of those who accept His Son as their Savior. Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross is God's only provision for sin. You cannot work hard enough. You cannot give enough. What you cannot do in your strength, God did for you in Jesus. So how do you become a Christian?

To accept this gift, you must pray to God, admit you are a sinner and turn away from your sins. You must then ask Jesus to come into your life, forgive your sins and cleanse your heart. John 3:16 says "for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." If you would like to accept God's free gift of mercy and have eternal life, simply pray this prayer:

Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I need Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and I want to turn from my sins. I invite You to come into my heart and into my life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

If you prayed this prayer and would like to talk to someone about it, please call Crosspoint Church (972.562.2200) or go to "Contact Us" to contact a Crosspoint Church staff member.
