Crossroads Baptist Church had its beginning on October 9, 1955. Ninety two members chartered Church and it was designated as Crossroads Missionary Baptist Church. The charter members and others of the congregation first met in a tent located on the present parking lot. The educational section of the building was built in 1956, the main auditorium was added in 1966. A gym also serving as a fellowship hall was added in 1970. Improvements have been made since that time and the building has been well maintained. Church presently helps in the support of 34 missionaries and missions with an annual missions budget of $24, 600.00. The missionaries are representing the Lord Jesus Christ through the aide of Church around the world. The constitution of church was drafted shortly after being chartered and it calls for the use of the King James Version of the Bible by all preachers and teachers. church does not believe the KJV to be the original manuscripts but is of the opinion that it is the preserved Word of God for English speaking people. Pastor Jack K. Mayes came to serve on September 7, 1980 and fills that position at this present time. Pastor Mayes' studies include two years of Bible School through Bethany Bible School of Dothan, Alabama.
