About Us
Crossroads strives to provide a loving experience for each person. We try to take a casual approach to church stuff, but encourage our people to pursue God with a serious faith. This approach is not the only one a church can have but it does work well for us here on Staten Island.
Crossroads "Community" Church was founded on September 29, 2002. The church started with the commitment of a dozen people and an American Legion Post Commander that allowed us to begin weekly services at his facility. After experiencing some growth, the church began to hold multi services but quickly outgrew the friendly atmosphere of the Cespino Russo American Legion Post. After several unexpected moves, Crossroads settled in at Public School 52 in Dongan Hills. After spending four and a half years at Public School 52, we have moved into our new & current home, The Lane Theater! Located at the "Crossroads" of Staten Island, The Lane Theater is located at 168 New Dorp Lane.

What to Expect
Leadership
Ray Parascando
Born in Brooklyn, NY, Pastor Ray moved to Staten Island at the age of five, growing up in South Beach. Raised Roman Catholic, he started to earnestly seek God at the age of 18 and accepted Christ as his personal Savior. From there, he knew his life calling was to be a Pastor in Staten Island, so he enrolled at Philadelphia Biblical University (now known as Cairn University) graduating with a degree in Biblical and Pastoral Studies. Next, Ray attended Liberty University receiving his Masters of Divinity Degree. Ray met his wife Jennifer at Philadelphia Biblical University and they married in May 2002. Jennifer is a local school teacher, they are the proud parents of Joseph John who was born in 2008, and Benjamin Ray born in 2014 Some of Ray’s hobbies include: reading books on leadership and discipleship, of which Charles Swindoll is his favorite author, and playing sports such as basketball & football. He is also an avid sports fan with his favorite teams being the New York Giants & New York Yankees.Location & Directions
