The frame building housing The Wesleyan church of West Union had a neon cross shining as a beacon of welcome and hope for decades. In March of 2014 the transformer providing power to this cross initiated a physical fire. Now our name is CrossFire. The new sanctuary was dedicated in January 2016.
Like a lighthouse shining to save those at sea CrossFire Church works to be a life-saving station for the lost. Amid all the voices calling out we remain as a refuge. We are a ‘Come As You Are’ Church Shining Light Into Darkness offering hope and sharing love. We are saved by God through the work of Jesus Christ on The Cross.
John 14:6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
John 4:23 But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way.
May it start a fire in our souls and bring us into eternal life with Him.
Jeremiah 20:9 “But if I say I’ll never mention the Lord or speak in His name, His word burns in my heart like a fire. It’s like a fire in my bones! I am worn out trying to hold it in! I can’t do it!”
CHURCH, OUR LAST NAME
Jesus speaks of the church one time only, in the book of Matthew.
We’re told that the gates of hell will not prevail against it. The church is
formally born in Acts 2 as a result of an explosion of the Spirit on a
celebrated holy holiday called Pentecost. Although the great day of festivities
had been celebrated for almost 1500 years, it was this special year in
approximately 30 A.D. that the church came into existence.
The word church means called out ones, and refers to the fact that those who follow Christ are called out from the rest of the world (not to live separate from them, but to respond/behave different from others). That explains our last name. You’ll notice that we have the same last name as those who go to a Baptist Church, a Methodist Church, a Presbyterian Church, a Catholic Church and anyone who truly believes in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
