Crosswalk Community Church: A Progressive Alternative - Napa (CA)

2 /5 Dennis Snyder: It was less church and more town hall meeting meets poetry night at a coffee house. I appreciate the message and sentiment but I go to church for communion with God not someone elses sexuality. That is none of my business. Great concept bad execution. And also, spring for a band, that karaoke nonsense was laughable.

5 /5 Ellie Hubbard: Ive been a member of Crosswalk for a year and a half. I love Sunday mornings now, because its my community. Pastor Petes teachings are well thought out and keep me on "my spiritual toes." Anyone whos looking for a congregation with an "outside of the box" philosophy, please come check us out!

5 /5 Stevie Stacionis: Im an extremely progressive and bible-dubious "Christian" who mostly wonders whether I can reconcile my inclusive beliefs with a religion now too often wrapped up in hatred and bigotry. I was skeptical about CrossWalk, and I was completely wrong. This is a wildly progressive church (YES, in Napa!), full of amazing quirky individuals, an incredibly frank and vulnerable pastor, a fabulous kids ministry, and an open and relational theology that has made me feel excited about spirituality again. Dont judge the book by its cover; come eat a donut some Sunday soon and see for yourself.

5 /5 Kreek Tyme: Im thinking of attending church here on Sunday. Ive met some great people in my neighborhood but crosswalk takes the cake. Come anytime a see for yourself. They give out food boxes an clothing. Ive attended a meeting or two here. Another great place to be when you want to hear a good word be in the company of loving an caring people please feel free to stop by, and give me a shout out! Kreektyme!!

5 /5 Loren Haas: My wife and I have been members for 15 years. If you expect church to be narrow minded, legalistic and to worship the Bible you will be surprised that CrossWalk checks none of those boxes. While the oldest Baptist church in Napa, (American Baptist, as in MLKs affiliation) founded in 1860, it is not stuck defending antiquated culture. It is egalitarian with women in pastoral roles, leadership and teaching positions. It is LGBTQ welcoming and fully affirming with members of that community participating in leadership. We also have outstanding teaching from toddlers through Middle School. Pastor Peter Shaws teaching is intellectually challenging but emphasizes spiritual and meditative practices as well. It is a very relaxed, come as you are atmosphere full of real people. People of other faith practices are welcome here. Services at 9 and 10 AM. We believe following Jesus also means serving the community in a sacrificial way. We host 40+ recovery groups on a weekly basis. Our parking lot is almost always busy. We operate a food pantry and supply food and cooking essentials to people moving off the street and into safe housing. We also work with other churches to feed unhoused people in Napa on the weekend. We provide space on our large campus for non-profits such as citizenship clinics and immigration legal aid. Our gym is used by schools, clubs and sports leagues. Crosswalk is the first Emergency shelter to open and the last to close. Fifteen minutes and we can open the doors. During the recent earthquake and fires we housed evacuees and were an information hub. We are currently remodeling our large but antiquated kitchen to modern standards so as to be able to provide meals. The bathrooms and gym showers have been upgraded to ADA standards to better serve everyone. Come experience CrossWalk. Instead of higher walls, we make bigger tables.
