Crossway Christian Church

What Crossway Christian Church does

Crossway Christian Church is a non-profit, multi-campus religious organization headquartered in Nashua, New Hampshire, founded in 1996 and currently led by Lead Pastor Dave Ripper (serving since 2019, succeeding founding pastor Dave Smith). It operates three physical campuses in the greater Nashua region — the Pond Campus (503 Main Dunstable Rd, with Sunday services at 8:00am, 9:30am, and 11:00am), the Downtown Campus (33 Pine Street, 10:00am Sunday service), and the Milford Campus — alongside a live streaming platform at crosswaycc.online.church broadcasting the 9:30am Pond service for remote attendance. Its technology stack is composed of off-the-shelf SaaS tools rather than proprietary systems: a SnapPages-hosted website, three campus-specific podcasts distributed on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, an Elexio CHMS for online giving and forms, and a Subplash-based podcast pipeline. No AI, machine learning, or proprietary technical infrastructure is indicated.

The organization serves congregants across the full life-stage spectrum through age-specific ministries — Children's ministry, Crossway Student Ministries (CSM) for grades 6-12 with weekly Sunday programming and summer camps, Young Adults ministry featuring Life Groups (3-5 person accountability cohorts), and general Adult ministries — plus cross-cutting programs including Small Groups, Celebrate Recovery, Alpha, the Launch 17-class course for high school juniors and seniors, and a Wednesday morning Prayer Ministry. Annual programming includes a paid Spiritual Formation Weekend retreat ($75 full weekend) featuring guest speakers and a Summer Hangouts event series of cookouts and community gatherings across multiple southern NH and northern MA towns. The organization maintains global outreach partnerships (e.g., Enlace Global Mission) and produces an extensive sermon media library organized by series, speakers, topics, and scripture.

Revenue is generated primarily through voluntary tithes and offerings collected in-person, online via the Elexio giving system, bank bill pay, or mailed checks; the Kairos Moment capital campaign creates a second, designated giving stream for specific ministry initiatives. Limited transactional revenue is derived from paid event registrations (Spiritual Formation Weekend) and optional merchandise via Printful. The church has 29 employees and serves the broader Nashua-area population including Hudson, Hollis, Windham (NH), and Tyngsboro, Pepperell, and Dunstable (MA). Its go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: growth occurs through multi-generational relational engagement, local outreach events, and digital content distribution rather than conventional marketing channels.
