Crosstowne Christian Church is an inter-denominational worship organization led by Pastor Paul Rienzo, and was started in 1997 as an expression of vision of Northwood Assembly Church in North Charleston. The church offers bible study classes for kindergarten age children, as well as a studio style class for first- through fifth-graders to engage children in learning about the Gospel in an entertaining environment. The church serves coffee and baked goods at its services, and strives to keep its services upbeat by playing "modern and culturally relevant" music. The church is involved in various community outreach programs and charitable initiatives, and welcomes newcomers.
