Crosspointe Christian Church

What Crosspointe Christian Church does

Crosspointe Christian Church is a non-profit Baptist congregation headquartered at 21336 Mack Avenue in Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan, and a member church of the Great Lakes Association of the North American Baptist Conference. The organization operates a single-campus ministry platform serving congregants across the full life span, with dedicated programming for children (Crosspointe Kids, birth through 4th grade including AWANA and Vacation Bible School), students (Crosspointe Students, grades 5–12 with Rooted youth groups, retreats, camps, and mission trips), adults (community groups, men's and women's ministries), and care recipients (Shepherd Care, GriefShare, prayer ministry). Sunday worship services are offered in-person at 9:30 and 11:00 AM and distributed online via YouTube livestream and the Church Center app.

The church's operational technology stack is built on standard church-management and media tooling rather than proprietary systems, including Church Center and Planning Center for administration and giving, ProPresenter and Vista3 for on-stage presentation and lighting, Elexio for management, RightNow Media (20,000+ video Bible study library) as a member benefit, and Spotify for the Cross Pointes Podcast. Senior Pastor Matthew Swiatek has led the organization since 2003, supported by two associate pastors and a director-level staff covering children, students, worship, creative/tech, and operations.

Crosspointe's revenue model rests primarily on voluntary recurring tithes and offerings processed through the Church Center giving platform, supplemented by tuition from the affiliated Grosse Pointe Nursery School preschool, modest facility rental income (with a $100 reservation deposit), and at-cost merchandise sold through Printify storefronts under the C3 Merch Ministry brand. The church funds an extensive set of local outreach partners (Pregnancy Aid of Detroit, LifeBUILDERS, Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries, Incarcerated Youth Ministries, Hope for Arabs, Operation Christmas Child) and global mission partnerships spanning the Philippines, Uganda, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Argentina, Alaska, and the United Kingdom. Worship services, baptism, membership, and community groups are offered free of charge.
