Boston Church of Christ or Crossroadism
             There is a group growing rapidly across the United States and the world called the Boston Church of Christ or the Crossroads. This cult is a highly aggressive movement that bases its doctrine on the Bible but many say is way off. Looking deeper into this cult we can begin to understand its doctrine and reasons for its movement.
             The movement originated in Florida by a man named Chuck Lucas of the Crossroads Church of Christ, a minister at the University of Florida. Rev. Lucas was terminated from his position at the church for "recurring sins in his life" the movement was taken over by Kip McKean a disciple of Lucas trained while a student at Florida University. McKean was intern fired from a campus ministry job in Charleston Ill. He moved his ministry to Lexington, Mass. in 1977. In beginning his ministry he started the Boston Church of Christ where in the first year the membership had recruited 103 people. By the end of the tenth year they had incorporated 1,621 into the following. In 1982 the movement began its pillar churches, key churches placed in strategic cities throughout the world. The program known as "reconstruction" began in 1986, a process by which established ministers in the Church of Christ were replaced by ministers trained by disciples of the Boston Church of Christ. In 1988 the Crossroads Church disassociated itself with the Boston Church of Christ. The Church now consists of 103 congregations in countries across the world with membership at 50,000.
             Members of the Boston Church of Christ are many times recruited from college campuses across the world. Majority of the following are young people of college age. They set up booths or just hang around on campus talking to kids trying to get them to meetings. These meetings many times consists of a Bible study or group gathering. If they want to join they go on a one-on-one 8-week study
