AR/Virtual Production Stage

We’ve launched a new livestream weekend experience to better and more quickly serve our church and Anywhere community with a digital gathering designed specifically for them.

Our vision is rooted in Acts 2: at its center is a community devoted to teaching, fellowship, and meeting together, with lives being changed every day. So we’re asking: what does that look like in a digital world? We think livestream is part of our answer — a consistent space where people can receive teaching, pray with and for one another, and experience real community, no matter where they live.

We’ve started by upgrading to state-of-the-art video and audio to make the online experience as compelling as being in the room. Next, we’re expanding our website, mobile app, and TV app streaming experiences to create more opportunities for real-time interaction and engagement during live services.

The greatest story deserves the best tools to tell it. As more people experience Crossroads through a screen, this is our way of building a world-class space just for them.

We’ve launched the beginnings of our improved worship experience through Wonderwall—a set of large screens in the Oakley campus that improve the in-person and digital worship experience.

Our efforts to reach a digital audience started nine years ago with one person sitting in a closet (literally) creating a broadcast stream. Today, our Anywhere service reaches 50,000 unique people every month. The new experience will set us up to more than 10X that number and reach millions with a powerful experience that captures imaginations, opens ears, and fills hearts—no matter where they live. Augmented reality and virtual reality are tools of our time. The greatest story demands the greatest storytelling tools. In a world where most of the people experience Crossroads on a screen, this is like building a world-class site designed for them.
