About Brainerd Crossroads (The BX)

Brainerd Crossroads (The BX) is a 54,000-square-foot fitness, recreation, and meeting facility operated by Brainerd Baptist Church. Open to the public, the BX offers many of the amenities found in a quality fitness center while providing a welcoming environment for people of all ages and fitness levels.

Our mission is to point people to Christ through fitness, recreation, and relationships. We believe physical fitness can serve as a bridge for building meaningful connections and creating opportunities to share the hope of the Gospel.

We ask for a Pastoral reference who can speak to your walk.
