• Are you an Adventist pastor at the Crossroads?

    Welcome to Crossroads. This is a place to find support as you study the Word and encouragement to live with integrity on the path God has for you. Here you will find links to books, websites, audio and video that will speak to your situation as an Adventist pastor. All of the pastors listed on the Connect page are willing and ready to talk with you, confidentially, one-on-one to answer any questions or to just be supportive of your journey. You're not alone. Ask questions, connect, read, pray. We're here for you. If you're not a questioning or transitioning Seventh-day Adventist pastor, and this site makes you mad or sad, that's okay. Please save the hate mail. I've heard it all already. If you're curious as to what in the world could possibly be wrong with the pillar doctrines, I recommend you start here: Comparing Adventism to Christianity
