Why Missions?  

At THE CROSSING, we believe in living out the Great Commission by actively engaging in Missional Community. With a firm commitment to spreading the love and message of Jesus beyond our church walls, our Missions Team plays a vital role in fulfilling this mission.  

In 2024, we dedicated a significant portion of our budget—$180,000, constituting 15%—to missions. This financial commitment reflects our deep-seated belief in the transformative power of sharing the good news of Jesus both globally and locally.  

Our Missions Team operates under a clear mission statement: “Missions at THE CROSSING exists to bless individuals or organizations glocally [globally and locally], outside THE CROSSING, with the goal of sharing the good news of Jesus.” This mission guides our efforts as we seek to make a positive impact on communities near and far. 

We divide our missions up into three categories based on Acts 1:8:

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”  

By organizing our focus into Local, Regional, and Global missions, we aim to reach individuals and communities at every level, from our immediate surroundings to the farthest corners of the globe.
