Opening in the Spring of 2023 in Northern Virginia

Our Purpose
Cross Roads Seminary is distinctly different from traditional seminaries. We focus on equipping men and women to discover and pursue God’s calling on their life. All diploma and degree programs are comprised of 50% classroom studies and 50% field work. Our students spend an equal amount of time in ministry projects and in the classroom. Experiencing and interpreting God at work in one’s life are the major focus and goal of the seminary work. Our classrooms include street corners, homeless shelters, and hospitals. Our students should expect to get their hands dirty and their hearts broken.

Cross Roads offers the following courses of study:

  • Bachelor of Christian Ministry (BCM)

How is Cross Roads different?

  • Students learn by doing. 50% of the learning is by academic study and 50% through field work.
  • Classroom work is based on group discussion in cohort groups rather than lectures. Cohorts are led by experienced practitioners.
  • Low cost. The average cost to earn a complete degree is less than $5,000 plus books.
