The Story of Crosswalk Church - From Surviving to Thriving

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.
