Spencerville, Maryland · Founded 1899
Every Home a Church. Every Disciple Sent.
The church is the hope of this community. At Crossway, we are a people devoted to Scripture, prayer, fellowship, and unity, transforming every home into a church and every disciple into a disciple-maker.
Why Crossway Exists
The church is the hope of this community.
In Acts chapter two, the early believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, to fellowship, to breaking bread, and to prayer, and the Lord added to their number daily. That is our pattern.
Crossway exists to see that same devoted, everyday community take root in Spencerville and beyond. Our mission is the Great Commission lived through Acts 2: teaching people to obey Jesus in a community where life reflects the message. Unity is not a side theme here; unity is part of our witness to the gospel.
The church is the hope of the world.
We plant churches because it is the hope of this community, the measure of lightness and darkness in this world. If anyone cares about the health of families, poverty, issues of human trafficking, and the problem of division and racism, just to name a few — the church is the only single organism equipped to solve these. We intend to saturate Maryland and beyond with communities that live out Acts 2, and are capable of bringing hope and freedom found in following Jesus Christ.

About / Our Movement
A historic church rediscovering its community calling.
Formerly known as Spencerville Free Methodist Church, Crossway carries a history that was always rooted in community: dinners together, fellowship, prayer, care, and a local witness that began in 1899.
In September 2021, Rev. Ebenezer and Lauren Murengezi and their five children were sent to relaunch Crossway with a fresh conviction: the answer for a divided nation begins by going back to the home, the family unit, prayer, Scripture, fellowship, and unity.
