"Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls." - Jeremiah 6:16

Crossroads is the student music ministry of First Hurst. Our sole purpose is to use music to not only worship God but represent who He is to those around us. Crossroads is made up of students of all ages, mostly in 7th-12th grades, and is open to anyone who is called to serve our Lord through music.

Some of the nations represented in Chicago include: Ireland, Sweden, Israel, Korea, Romania, Italy, Ukraine, Poland, Bosnia, Pakistan, China, Germany, Africa, Bangladesh, India, Japan, Cuba, and Latin America.

While traveling through cities and villages, Jesus said that the harvest was ripe but the workers were few. An entire world of people is living in Chicago, and Jesus' heart is aching to be united with them. Check out these facts and get ready to deliver God's love to the people of Chicago!

"If we do not reach cities they will become cesspools by which entire nations will be polluted." --D.L. Moody

"Cities are the place where destinies of nations are determined. cities are the centers of communication, commerce, cultural life, and government. As the cities go, so go the nations. If winning the nations to Christ is our assignment, to the cities we must go." --Roger S. Greenway
