An initiative from the Interfaith Council of Evansville Mayor Stephanie Terry

April 25-27, 2025
This weekend, Crossroads is participating in the Pilgrimage of Faith. Houses of worship in the greater Evansville area are welcoming guests to observe how faith is expressed in our community. The faith community members of the Mayor’s Interfaith Advisory Committee will open their doors and their hearts to all this coming weekend! We are welcoming anyone who would like to worship with us.

Crossroads is also welcoming Reverend Ryan Jackson from New Hope Baptist Church as our guest speaker this Sunday. Ryan and his family moved to Evansville in 2022 from Michigan. Ryan is Godly man with a humble spirit. His open and empathetic approach ensures that everyone he meets feels heard, supported, and valued. As part of his pastoral ministry at New Hope, Ryan offers compassion and wisdom, providing marriage and life counseling to individuals and couples in need. He offers wisdom and support, helping people navigate personal challenges and strengthen their relationships. His guidance is rooted in biblical principles, offering practical and spiritual solutions to life’s difficulties. ​​​​​​​
