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.
Acts 2 Community & 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.
House Churches As A Movement
A church made of tiny churches.
Crossway uses the phrase house churches on purpose. These are not just small groups; they are places where people understand, "this is a church," and take responsibility to shepherd, pray, teach, and care. We are learning to make the church tiny enough to be present in homes, neighborhoods, schools, and everyday relationships, so ordinary people can welcome, disciple, and take responsibility for one another.
Sermons & Messages
Sunday teaching that carries into every house church and every day of the week.
Sunday messages are not meant to stay on Sunday. Sermons become notes, reflection questions, daily devotionals, prayer prompts, and house-church materials for the week.
Latest Sunday Message
Live service streams Sundays at 10:30 AM. Replace this search embed with the church channel or latest video ID during deployment.
Daily Devotionals & Podcasts
Daily devotionals from the voices of the Crossway family.
Crossway prays together in the morning and records short reflections from different individuals. These prayers, Scriptures, stories, and testimonies are shared with the church and wider community so they can carry them into their day.
Today’s Devotional
House Churches / Community
Every home can become a place of prayer, care, Scripture, and mission.
House churches help the Sunday message become daily obedience, shared meals, prayer, accountability, and practical love in the places where people already live.
Devoted to teaching
Sunday’s message becomes daily Scripture reflection, two simple questions, and practical obedience in the home.
Devoted to fellowship
People eat together, pray together, share needs, and move from acquaintance into deep, accountable love.
Sent to multiply
Maturity is measured by reproduction and health, not just numbers. Disciples become spiritual parents who help others obey Jesus.

Visit / I’m New
There is a real welcome for you here.
When someone walks in broken, lonely, new, skeptical, or simply curious, our hope is that they meet people who are deeply loving and genuinely present. Not a performance. Not a clique. A family learning to live in a way that reflects the message.

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.
Interwoven Diversity
On a Sunday, Crossway could hear close to 10 languages in a congregation of about 50 people. This summer’s theme, Interwoven, names what the church is learning: diverse people do not simply gel together by accident; unity must be intentionally practiced.
The church partners locally with other congregations, High Point High School, Weller Road Elementary School, children’s ministry, soccer outreach, and globally with Malawi church-planting projects.
