God prefers our obedience and loyalty as worship more than any religious or cultural experience (1 Samuel 15:22, Hosea 6:6). But the most important expression is the posture of our hearts. When we gather together to praise God, we learn from Scripture that God is pleased by a number of different expressions such as singing, clapping, dancing, shouting, raising hands, bowing, giving, meditating on God’s Word, thanksgiving, silence, feasting, music, and more. Every action can be an act of worship that honor God. We pursue a lifestyle of surrender to God in our daily choices. In all cases, we believe that both diversity and relevance are important aspects of ministry excellence, and that reaching the next generation should always be a top priority
Our style constantly evolves and grows based on the ministry goals of Crossroads Church, the needs of our community, as well as the artistic standards of the times. It would not be uncommon for Christian Contemporary, Gospel, Pop, and Folk genres to all be included in the same service.

We hope you'll seek out opportunities to join us in this important part of our mission. The list goes on and on – it truly takes a village. Those who are hospitalized need love and care. Worship and technology teams need passionate, competent volunteers. A building of this size sitting on 20 acres needs the love and care of many volunteers to maintain.
Service is also needed within our own congregation. Network to provide coats, hats, gloves and boots for children in the wintertime. We work in conjunction with the Iowa Food Bank to help feed hungry children in our school system. For example, we collect hundreds of pounds of food each year for the Norwalk Food Pantry, which provides food staples and other necessities to the hungry in our area. ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for oneĪt Crossroads, we take seriously our vision to serve by helping the less fortunate in our community. What is our response? God's word is clear: You might not realize it, but as many as 1 in 5 Norwalk residents live near or below the poverty line. The third leg of our mission is vital to our vision of being a community church.
