How should christians respond to the realities in the holy land?

We gather believers to listen and learn from Palestinian and North American Christian leaders to consider what a Biblical, Christ-centered witness requires in this moment.

Why listen to

Palestinian Christians?

Palestinian Christians have spent generations following Jesus amid violence and chaos.

Their witness offers deep biblical wisdom about peacemaking, hope, enemy-love, perseverance, and faithful discipleship that can strengthen the global Church in a divided and uncertain world.

IT’S NOT ABOUT partisan POLITICS

It's about discipleship.

How should following Jesus shape the way I think about Palestine-Israel?

How can I see the modern Holy Land through Scripture rather than politics?


How does Jesus shape our understanding of God’s chosen people?

“I believe it was the single most significant conference I've ever attended and I walked away not only more committed to justice,
but more in love with Jesus."

Church at the Crossroads 2025

Invest in
peacemaking

Christians are searching for a way to engage Palestine and Israel with biblical conviction and moral clarity.

Church at the Crossroads helps Christians rediscover their calling as peacemakers—in the Holy Land and wherever violence and suffering hurts people and threatens our witness to the Good News.

It’s time we equip ourselves and our neighbors for this conversation. 

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God"
Matthew 5:9

EngagE the
difficult questions

Biblically.

What does the gospel require in the face of extreme suffering in Gaza?

How could the Church have done more?

How does this impact our gospel witness
to the Middle East?
