Church at the Crossing is a church in Dothan, Alabama, where people from every background can grow in their faith and take their next step with Jesus.  Whether you are exploring faith for the first time or looking for a church to call home, there is a place for you here.

We don’t claim to have everything figured out, but we are clear about the beliefs at the heart of our faith. These truths shape who we are, how we follow Jesus, and how we live together in community.

John and Brandy Dowdey have helped shape Church at the Crossing with a shared desire to see people experience the grace of Jesus, find meaningful community, and take their next step in faith.

John serves as Lead Pastor, providing vision, leadership, and biblical teaching for the church. Brandy serves as Staff Care Pastor, supporting and encouraging the staff and helping care for the people who make ministry possible.

Together, their leadership reflects the heart that has shaped CATC from the beginning: loving people well, building authentic community, and making room for more.

Church at the Crossing officially launched in February 2009 with a vision to help people take their next steps in faith. As the 88th church planted through the Association of Related Churches, CATC began with a small group gathering in the home of one of its founding members.

As the church grew, Sundays moved through several temporary locations around Dothan, including AMC 6 and FunZone. Each move required plenty of setting up and tearing down, but the heart of the church remained the same: creating authentic community, sharing the hope of Jesus, and serving the Wiregrass.

Today, CATC gathers at Dothan High School and owns property on Westgate Parkway that will become its future permanent home. While the locations have changed, the mission continues—and our story is still being written.
