What is Crossroads?

Crossroads is a new and progressive community for young professionals. It is the place where you pause, pay attention, and converse about life, faith, career, and self-improvement issues that we all go through. This safe place encourages reflection and genuine conversation, helping each other go to God-led routes.

That’s exactly what transpired at the very first-ever launch of Crossroads, the brand new young professional community at the Real Life Christian Communities (RLCC) Center on July 20, 2025.

If you’re in your twenties or thirties, working hard, feeling stuck, or just trying to figure it all out, this is for you!

A Message that Matters

Aside from the sweet treats and interactive sharing of laughter and thoughts, Pastora Swanee Gumatay Budiao “PS” also shared a strong message.

Takeaway #1: We are Made for Each Other

PS emphasized companionship, as our loving God did not intend for us to live alone. We are designed to walk with others, particularly in our young adult years, when life is muddled, hectic, and filled with choices.

She also described the Crossroads community as a refuge, where you have people who see your season, speak life into your soul, and journey with you in authenticity.

Takeaways #2: We are to Share Each Other’s Burden

We don’t have to bear all the loads alone. PS called to mind that burden sharing and support are God’s design for hIs people.

At Crossroads, it is okay to be honest. You can speak up and say, “I’m tired,” or “I need help,” and discover brothers and sisters who will stand with you in prayer and action.

The New Logo with Meaning and Purpose

The launch was also accompanied by the official Crossroads logo, which represents the very core of the community's purpose. Through God’s wisdom in the lives of our brothers in Christ, Brother Cyril Jervy Leona and Brother Jonan Pineda, this logo was brought to life, depicting:

• The Cross of Christ is in the center, which reminds everyone that Jesus is with us.

• The “YP” letters signify Young Professionals.

• The Crossroads represent the crossroads of decisions that young professionals face.

• The Fish that represents being fishers of men, indicating that Crossroads is not only inward-driven but actively reaching other men for Christ.

Overall, it’s a visual guide for the journey this community is on together, a great catch for this month’s series: ”On Mission Together.”

Why Crossroads Matters to You?

It’s difficult to walk alone, particularly when you have to balance work, faith, family, and your future. That is why there is this new community, where your faith is lived out in real life. For with Crossroads, you will:
