House Joint Resolution 1417 recognizes and commends the members of Crossroads Community Church for their dedication and service to the community since its founding in 2005. The church began with a small group of individuals who met for six months to plan and pray for its direction, officially launching on Easter Sunday in 2005 with an attendance of seventy-three people. Despite facing challenges, including the closure of their initial meeting location, the Newport Cinema 4, due to financial hardships, the church persevered and even purchased the building in 2023.
Crossroads Community Church has made significant contributions to the community through various service events and mission trips to Central and South America and Africa. The resolution highlights the church's commitment to Christian beliefs, service, and outreach, recognizing it as a vital institution that fosters positive spiritual change in Tennessee and beyond. The resolution concludes by extending best wishes for the church's continued success in its mission.
