Get involved!
Our work is fueled by the gifts of time, prayer, and financial support from those who are passionate about BEING!
Here’s what we need to BE THERE for those we serve:
1.) FINANCIAL GIFTS
Crossroads is a 501c3 charitable organization so that contributions can be tax deductible for the donors. Financial gifts are essential to carrying out our services.
Pregnancy & Parenting Resource with limited obstetric ultrasound are offered at NO FEE to clients so that they are encouraged to come and there is not a barrier to receiving services.
CoCares is provided at a nominal fee to the elderly persons so that it is affordable and they are encouraged to utilize the service. Yet, an imperative piece to CoCares helping is to have time to befriend the person receiving services and that is not billed, yet is compensated to the staff person. Additionally, there are expenses involved in serving the program.
2.) HELPERS
Whether you join us as VOLUNTEER help or as a PAID PROFFESIONAL help, you are STAFF to us at Crossroads. Both go through the same application & screening process.
4.) BOARD MEMBERS
The Board of Directors is a vital piece of Crossroads’ ministry. We need a minimum of five members, but ideally 7-9 members who are voted on by the Board and who can commit to helping the organization function at its optimal effectiveness. Board members are expected to be active members of a Chrisitan Church, to embrace Crossroads’ life-affirming values, and to personally and professionally live the values of Crossroads. The term is three years, with a second term welcomed if agreed and voted upon.
3.) PRAYER WARRIORS
“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”
Ephesians 3:20 ESV
