Who We Are

We’re a community of university-aged adults from campuses and neighborhoods all throughout Chicago. We gather to use the ancient text of the Bible to navigate the present crossroads of university life and young adulthood.

 

Crossroads meets weekly at 11:30AM in room 303 of the Moody Church following Sunday worship.
