Following the leading the Spirit, Dennis Cook and his wife, Jo, along with their three children (Jason, Aaron and Sarah), moved from Sutherlin, Oregon to start a church in Howell, Michigan. Equipped with faith, love, hope and the promise of the scripture, "a great and effectual door is open unto me," the work commenced. Home Bible studies were the method chosen for sharing the Word of God in their new community. The first church service was held in the Cook's living room, with eleven people present. Crossroads was born. Crossroads became the place where neighbors and friends would meet Jesus at the foot of the cross and choose the road journeying toward their eternal destination. At the Crossroads, many have discovered new life, healing, and transformation by the Spirit of God. Through prayer, tenacity, diligence and unity, the church grew.

Moving from the Cardinal Court home to Southeast Elementary School ... then Highlander Way Middle School ... to the present day miracle of thirteen scenic acres of property with a beautiful building in which to serve the community and worship. To God be the glory! Pastor Dennis Cook worked a full time job at the Ann Arbor Post Office while ministering full time to the Crossroads congregation. The word of God was confirmed with the power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost. The years passed quickly with many trials and triumphs, heartaches and joys with Pastor Cook serving the community for seventeen years. Thanks to God's grace, the ministry of our founding Bishop, and the faithful members, Crossroads has become a vital part of Livingston County.

Now retired, Bishop Cook and his family remain at Crossroads as support staff for the new leadership, Pastor Sherman Williams, his wife, Rachel, and family. Together, they look forward to dynamic growth and effectiveness, anticipating the future with faith as they continue to share the Gospel message with Livingston County!
