The Crossing is at 425 Broadway Hannibal MO. The services are held in an old theater they have restored. Construction began in 1918 but it didn't open until 1922. Since then it has been repurposed multiple times. From what I have read it was used by the YMCA for awhile and for live theater. When it was a theater it had operated under the name Mark Twin Theater for some time. It was a center piece of Hannibal and now has the biggest congregation as a church.

"The Crossing is an independent, non-denominational Christian Church started in Quincy, Illinois, in March of 1974. It began as a plant of Madison Park Christian Church, with 58 volunteers leaving to hold services at Monroe Elementary School under the name Payson Road Christian Church."

"The Crossing in Hannibal started out its life setting up and tearing down in the local YMCA. Its quick growth led us to the Orpheum Theater in downtown Hannibal. The 1,000 seat 1922 theater was once the jewel of the city but had fallen into sad disrepair. The Crossing purchased and completely rehabilitated the theater to its former glory." (visit link)
