Welcome! We’re so glad you’re here.

Join Us

Every Sunday at 9:00am and 10:00am, we host our relaxed, community-centric services. Come visit! ALL are welcome, included, and affirmed in our church.

When you arrive, you’ll be warmly welcomed by greeters (none of whom are creepy, pushy or awkward—promise!). We’re happy to show you around if you like, but you’re also welcome to just grab a cup of coffee or tea and a pastry before grabbing a seat. You’ll find our worship spaces arranged a little differently than a traditional church with pews and pulpits: Our 9:00 service meets in our Fireside Room, set up like you’re attending an intimate artist reading; our 10:00 service is in the main hall with tables scattered around the room—like at big dinner party! Most people dress casually, and we believe God loves for you to be comfortable and just show up as your amazing, authentic (even if sometimes messy) self.

• Our 9:00 service features a meditation and teaching (no music or children’s services).

• Our 10:00 service features music in addition to the meditation and teaching, and we host kids’ programming for various age groups, from babies to middle-schoolers.

If you’ve got questions or want us to introduce ourselves, answer questions, or give you a tour (and a little welcome gift!) during your first visit, drop us a line.

Mission

CrossWalk Community Church is a progressive church that exists to help people continually discover and develop a life-changing, world-impacting relationship with God. As modeled by Jesus, we strive to inspire our community to choose a life of stretching our understanding of God, kneeling in service, standing for grace and justice, connecting with one another, and communing intentionally and routinely with God. Through these five core practices, we love to realize all that God can do in and through us.

Our Theology

We resonate with the growing number of people in the world who identify as spiritual but not religious. Many have opted out of formal faith constructs because the old paradigms just don’t work anymore. Many of us find ourselves in a deconstruction phase, wondering if there is anything out there to reconstruct. CrossWalk lives and breathes this reality. While we are Christian, we believe Jesus was extremely spacious and gracious in the way he understood the movement of God in an ever-evolving world. We want to embody that. If you’re looking for a different, more open and relational take on faith that is deeply rooted and supported by a growing number of scholars and practitioners, you just might find yourself at home here. We are motivated by love, informed by love, practicing love, desiring to bring more love and grace into this world.

Inclusion

We publicly commit hereby that our progressive faith community is Welcoming and Affirming. We declare that in each of our communities, people of all races, cultures, sexual orientations, genders, gender identities, and gender expressions are seen, accepted, and honored as Divine expressions. We welcome ALL visitors, friends, and neighbors, and offer a community where ALL can belong as integral parts of our communities, including in services, events, membership, leadership, employment, teaching, and/or ordination as clergy. We acknowledge that in the past and present, faith communities, including our own, have oppressed and condemned many people unjustly, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, women, indigenous peoples, and other minority groups. We believe these judgments and actions were the acts of humans, not of any higher power. We seek to offer a place in which ALL of our visitors, friends, and neighbors can explore faith without judgment, as we explore faith, as equals, side by side with them. We are grateful to be part of a coalition of inclusive communities, because we have found that diversity increases our empathy and profoundly deepens our faith. 

Core Values

Walk with God.

This movement is about connecting directly to God on an intimate and uniquely personal level. You don’t look like anyone else; neither should your faith. When you regularly seek the presence of God, you’ll notice God’s greatness in ways entirely unique to you. CrossWalk Sunday gatherings are meant to help you connect with God on a regular basis — through the ups as well as the downs of life, when faith feels easy and equally when it feels impossible.

Walk with others.

We, as humans, are not made to live in isolation. We are inherently social beings; we need each other to love and be loved. God often shows up most clearly in community: brave, generous, full of grace (even if individually we are also sometimes clumsy, messy or shy). Our broader Napa and North Bay community organizations as well as our more specific CrossWalk Groups offer opportunities to learn from and lean on peers, deepen relationships and repair our broader social fabric… and have fun!

Go be Jesus.

When we’re focused only on meeting our own needs, we only get so far in our relationship with God. But when we do something that makes a difference for someone else, our faith really grows. Why? Because that’s what Jesus did: He served a world in need. When we do what Jesus did, we experience what Jesus experienced: more and more of God. So, we look for opportunities to care for people all around us or even half a world away. This outward-looking, service-focused approach to faith is a hallmark of truly progressive churches like CrossWalk.
