About this church
Crossroads Missionary Baptist Church invites people to Sunday School, Sunday worship, and Bible study at its West Allegheny Avenue church, with Sunday worship also streamed online. The official service page does not publish current start times, so visitors should confirm the schedule before traveling. The congregation was established in 1983 under Pastor Jesse F. Hayward with an emphasis on prayer, biblical teaching, and outreach. Its stated purpose is to glorify God through the Great Commission and cultivate maturity through diligent study and application of Scripture, Christian fellowship, worship, missions, baptism, and Communion.
The church first gathered in the home of James and Mary Taylor, then worshiped at several Philadelphia locations before acquiring its present building through member prayer, service, and giving. Ministries support worship, teaching, music, media, security, hospitality, ushers, deacons, finance, pastoral care, and community outreach. Missions support both short- and long-term workers through Carver Missions while assisting local people through bereavement care, the Macedonia Family Development and Learning Center, monthly Share Food participation, Thanksgiving baskets, and Christmas support for families. The website establishes the church’s history and service priorities but does not state Sunday or study times, worship length, musical format, children’s or nursery care, child security, Communion frequency, baptism preparation, clothing, parking, accessibility, hearing assistance, or the streaming platform and archive policy.
