The Story of Crosswalk Church - From Surviving to Thriving
Description
In this episode, I talk with Tim Gillespie, former Lead Pastor of Crosswalk Church, about one of the most remarkable turnaround stories in Adventism. Tim shares how Crosswalk went from the brink of closing—with fewer than 80 people—to becoming a thriving community of over 1,000 members, expanding across continents and influencing churches worldwide.
We explore the factors behind this growth: a clear mission, intentional branding, a focused target audience, and a commitment to authenticity and spiritual depth. Tim reflects on what made Crosswalk work, what other churches often overlook, and how much of their success can translate to the European context.
If you’re passionate about church planting, revitalization, or reaching the next generation, this conversation offers practical insights and inspiration from someone who’s lived the journey.
