About Crosslink Hillsborough

Our Mission

At Crosslink Hillsborough, we are driven by the clear mission Jesus has given to His church. Our mission is simple yet profound:

Love God, Love People, Make Disciples. 

This mission is grounded in two key Bible passages:
Matthew 22:36-40:
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself."


Matthew 28:18-20:
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you."

Our Story

Crosslink Church Hillsborough began as a church plant from Crosslink Church Mebane. As the city of Hillsborough grew with new families and individuals, Crosslink Church Mebane prayerfully sought how to best reach the community with the hope of the gospel. Out of that vision, the Church Planting Residency began in 2024, following Jacob’s hiring as the church planter, with the goal of launching the church in the spring of 2025.

Once Jacob was hired as the church planter for Crosslink Church Hillsborough, the work began to make Crosslink Church Hillsborough a reality. Jacob, along with many faithful members of Crosslink Church Mebane, held their first church service on May 4th, 2024 at Fairview Baptist Church in Hillsborough. Fairview Baptist Church graciously agreed to let Crosslink Church Hillsborough meet on their campus at 9 AM every Sunday morning before their 11 AM service. Crosslink Church Hillsborough is still using Fairview's facilities in order to meet weekly. 

Crosslink Church Hillsborough is an autonomous church with live preaching and its own leadership. We’re committed to carrying forward the DNA of Crosslink Church Mebane by continuing its mission of Love God, Love People, Make Disciples.

Crosslink Church Hillsborough exists because many faithful followers of Jesus Christ answered the call and said “yes” to church planting. Our story is a beautiful reminder of God’s faithfulness and power, and we are so thankful to be part of the journey He has set before us.

Our Beliefs

We hold to the core beliefs of the Christian faith, including salvation by grace alone, the sufficiency of Scripture, and other foundational doctrines found in the Baptist Faith and Message 2000.
