History
Crossroads Christian Church was founded in 1892 by nine members in Corona, California. Led by Reverend Wright and Sister Iola, the church opened as "First Christian Church of South Riverside." In 1932, the church changed its name "1st Christian Church, Corona"; at the time, it had 100 members. The current name was put in place in 1980.[2]
Chuck Booher is currently the senior pastor. Crossroads Christian Church is a megachurch with a congregation of more than 8,000 congregants.
