CROSSROAD 2030 VISION
As Collinsville First Baptist celebrates our first 100 years, God is calling us to something greater. The next chapter of our story isn’t about preserving the past—it’s about pursuing Christ with fresh vision and bold faith.
Every generation faces crossroads. This is ours. Where will God take us in the next five years? What would it look like for our church to become a vibrant missional movement that awakens this community to the gospel?
The Crossroad 2030 Vision is our answer—a God-sized dream for a small-town church with a big God.
OUR MISSION
Our mission describes why our church exists.
GUIDING GENERATIONS TO PURSUE
CHRIST AT EVERY CROSSROAD.
This language is nothing more than the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18-20 and will be our compass for all we do. Every day, people face crossroads—big and small decisions that shape their lives. Every moment presents a choice: Will I follow Jesus or pursue something else—the culture, the flesh, the darkness?
God has called us to guide people to choose Jesus at these crossroads. We help them come to know Christ and pursue Him at every point of decision. This is where maximal blessing and joy are found—in this age and the age to come.

Our six values below describe how we as a church stay aligned in our mission.
