Faithful for the long haul.
Craig White has spent more than four decades helping people understand God’s Word and put their faith into practice.
After planting and leading two churches, Craig and his wife, Rachelle, founded Crossroads Church in Avon, Indiana, in 2000. What began with a calling has grown into a church committed to bringing people into full life in Christ.
Craig is known for teaching Scripture in a way that is clear, practical, and honest. Whether he is preaching, writing, developing leaders, or serving his community, his goal remains the same: help people grow stronger in their relationship with God.

From Craig
Notes for the journey.
Short, practical encouragement for building a stronger relationship with God.
Start with the relationship.
Faith is not simply knowing things about God. It is learning to walk with Him, speak honestly with Him, and make room to hear His voice.
“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”James 4:8
Take the next right step.
Spiritual growth rarely happens through one dramatic moment. It is built through consistent choices to trust God and practice what He says.
“Do not merely listen to the word... Do what it says.”James 1:22
Do not grow alone.
God uses people to encourage us, sharpen us, and remind us of what is true. A strong spiritual core is formed in meaningful community.
“Encourage one another and build each other up.”1 Thessalonians 5:11
“A full relationship with the living God fills our emptiness of purpose, peace, and meaning.”
