Our Mission
“Crossroads exists to bring a Gospel movement to Silicon Valley through personal transformation, authentic community, and a mission of mercy to all people, to impact our city and through it, the world.”
Our Story
On the evening of February 11, 1979, more than 500 people gathered in the gym at San Jose Bible College for the very first service of Crossroads Bible Church. Under the leadership of Pastor Rich Marshall—alongside Les Foley, Gene Otsby, Bruce Franks, and John Herbert—Crossroads was founded with one clear mission: to launch a gospel-centered movement in the greater San Jose area.
Much has changed since 1979. Silicon Valley has grown into one of the most innovative and diverse regions in the world. San Jose’s population has exploded, drawing over 20,000 new residents each year from around the globe—many of whom come from non-Christian and non-Western backgrounds. In every season, Crossroads has remained committed to sharing the hope of Jesus Christ with this ever-changing city.
We believe that what happens in Silicon Valley can shape the world. That’s why Crossroads Bible Church is focused on building a vibrant, gospel-driven community that reflects the grace, truth, and love of Jesus. Our vision is to see lives transformed by faith and our city renewed by people who have been supernaturally changed by God’s grace.
At Crossroads, you’ll find a welcoming community of people—believers, seekers, and skeptics alike—who are learning to follow Jesus together. We believe the gospel is not just a message for Sunday but the foundation of everything we do. Wherever you are in your spiritual journey, you are welcome here.
