God's Story at Crossroads Church
1965-Present

In March 1965, a group of believers met at a home on North St. in St. Charles, MI., sharing a burden for God and reaching into the community of St. Charles with the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. God used that meeting to establish Trinity Baptist Church.

We are deeply indebted to the godly men and women in the beginning who passed a brightly burning torch of faith and faithfulness. Our meetings moved from a home to the VFW Post and then our present location at what was formerly known as the St. Charles School District’s Shaupp School. God has graciously replaced that building and provided an additional auditorium, educational wing, and gymnasium.

God used the leadership of godly men and women here, including Cornerstone University and Pastor Joseph Balbach (Grace Baptist in Saginaw), along with many brothers and sisters in Christ who prayed and served alongside. Godly counsel was provided by Galilean Baptist Mission Director Larry Mattis. Missionary Pastor Tad Jameson and our first full time Pastor Jeffrey Williams were both faithful and fruitful instruments in deepening our roots in God, relationships with each other, and reaching this community for Jesus Christ. Most recently, Pastor Dave Boillat has become our Senior Pastor.

Through it all and in it all, we have chosen to speak and sing of God’s generosity, glory, grace and majesty in doing the miraculous. We love serving God together in exaltation (worship), edification (Word), equipping each other (work), and offering a visual and verbal presentation of the Gospel according to Jesus (witnessing). Together, we have the joy of “Leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.”
