Crossroads Church began as a small group in a home in 2002. After two years of developing the core team, the church launched its first public worship service on April 4, 2004 in the Baptist Collegiate Ministries (BCM) building. For 18 years, Crossroads met across the street from Southeastern Louisiana University. It has been a joy to be entrusted with many college students as they attend school, are discipled, and are sent out for the glory of God. In August 2022, Crossroads began meeting in its current building. We look forward to all that God continues to do with Crossroads Church as we seek to fulfill the Great Commission and the Great Commandment.

The Vision of Crossroads is that we would be a people united under the authority of Jesus. We pray that through Crossroads Church we would display the manifold wisdom of God (Eph 3:10)

As Head of the church, Jesus has given us our mission. We are to go and make disciples to all nations, baptizing their in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all the Jesus has commanded (Matt 28:19-20).

Jesus also gave us the two greatest commandments that govern all that we do. We love God, and our neighbor (Mark 12:29-31)

To accomplish these things we value: The Gospel, Expository Preaching, Christ-centered fellowship, and missions.

1. The Bible is the Word of God inspired and without error in its original manuscripts. It is our only source of authority in matters of faith, conduct, and truth.
2. There is one eternal God, personal and knowable who is in Himself three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is worthy of our worship, confidence and obedience.
3. Jesus is the eternal, pre-existent Son of God. He willingly took on the body of a man, was virgin-born, became our sinless substitute, and shed His blood on the cross to completely pay for the atonement of our sins. We believe He died, was buried, resurrected in a literal body, ascended into Heaven, and is presently our advocate and only High Priest. We also believe that Jesus will return to establish His Kingdom.
4. The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to convict the lost, seal the believer and place him or her in the Body of Christ. The fruit of the Holy Spirit in one’s life is love. We believe in the baptism with the Holy Spirit at the time of conversion, but we do not believe that any special gift is a necessary evidence of salvation or of being filled with the Spirit.
5. Every person is born with a sinful nature, is spiritually dead and cannot please God until Christ gives him life. We believe salvation from sin, death, and hell is by God’s grace. It must be received by faith apart from any human performance or merit. It is a free gift of God to one who personally places his confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ and His finished work on the Cross. We believe a truly born again person is secure in Christ.
6. That all believers should assemble in local churches for mutual edification, encouragement, evangelism, service, and worship. Within our fellowship, as an act of obedience to the Word of God, we share our love of Christ through participation in the signs of the New Covenant: The Lord’s Supper and Baptism by immersion in water. 

Our lead pastor, Asah Hudgins, and his wife Tara have two great kids, Jordan and Jaxon. Asah came as an Intern to Crossroads after serving as a youth pastor in his home state of Georgia. After serving at our church as an associate pastor, he became the lead pastor in 2007. He has a Masters of Divinity from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and his Doctorate of Ministry from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Asah loves to preach and teach scripture and has a goal to preach through the entire Bible verse by verse during his lifetime. Asah is an avid reader and thoroughly enjoys learning all he can about Scripture so that he can pass that on to new leaders.

Meaningful membership is an important part of following Jesus together. The general and expected pattern in the Bible is for believers to join together in local congregations for worship, maturity, accountability and service. The process of membership requires that a person is a follower if Jesus, who has been baptized. Those who desire to be members will attend the Crossroads Discovery Class, sign our church covenant, have an interview with and Elder, and be voted into membership by the congregation at a Member’s Meeting. All of this is done so that every member knows who we are and what is required of members.
