BRIEF HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Crossroads Biblical and Theological Institute (Crossroads Institute) is a new school of ministry in Lewiston, Idaho. It is an effort by Diaspora Intercultural Academy and River City Church which plans to start its full program in the Fall 2009. Crossroads Institute is a non-denominational school and aims to serve the Lewis-Clark Valley, the surrounding region, and, as the Lord continues to bless its efforts, the broader spectrum of the Church.
Crossroads Institute is now implementing four pre-inaugural courses in order to make itself known in the area; but also to share its excitement in preparing skilled laborers for the Harvest. Two courses will be offered in the Winter and two more in the Spring.
