Welcome to the Rio Texas Crossroads District website!
We, the Crossroads District, made up of 70 churches and nearly 12,000 members of churches from Seguin to Columbus, and from Elgin to Victoria are pleased to serve you and our Lord! We hope your visit to our website will provide you the information and resources that you need. We also your visit will give you a glimpse into the heart and spirit of our District as we strive to worship and serve God with faithfulness and devotion.
The Crossroads District is hosting a gathering for fellowship, information, and celebration of ministry. January 28th we will gather at First United Methodist Church in Victoria at 10:00AM with Rev. Kendall Waller, the director of Administrative Ministries at the Rio Texas Conference. This will be a great opportunity for members of your admin committees such as Finance, SPRC, and Trustees to learn about their duties and ask questions.
We will also celebrate some of the ministries of the district following Rev. Waller’s presentation.
As you may know, Ruth Lopez has served as the administrative assistant for the Crossroads District for several years. We will honor her with a luncheon as she prepares for the next chapter of her career. We are grateful for her work in the district and send her with blessing to follow her dreams.

Reminder: 2022 Apportionment payments are due by Tuesday, January 10th, 2023 at noon.

The Crossroads District Nominations Committee has begun its work to fill vacancies for positions on various committees and organizations in the Crossroads District. To achieve this goal, we need nominations of members of congregations on our District whom you assess to be willing, capable and gifted in appropriate areas of service.
Pray about members and leaders in your congregations and please consider serving yourself. All completed surveys should be turned in to the district office by March 31, 2022.

While the rain appeared to be nothing unusual when this family looked out the window, upstream a Disaster was brewing. Heavy rains along the Gonzales/Wilson county line was causing the stream behind their house to rapidly rise. Within minutes water was entering the house and the homeowner rushed his family to escape down their road. Fortunately, all were able to make it out safely, but their home sustained significant water damage. ERT’s were able to remove the wet, soggy drywall and enable the family to return to their home, from their temporary shelter.
