CrossRoads Missions is involved in helping to restore the presence and influence of the church in Inner-City urban areas.
In Louisville, KY; we are partnering with Jefferson Street Baptist Center and Greater Galilee Church focusing on facility renovations. Our primary goal is to update Jefferson Street Baptist Centers' worn down homeless shelter in order to help enable them in serving the homeless population of Louisville. At Greater Galilee Church, we are helping to repair their basement which has been damaged from frequent flooding due to rain. In doing so we will help to free up their resources to better reach their community.
In Cincinnati, OH; Crossroads Missions will be working with State Avenue Church of Christ and Hope Inner City to provide some much needed repairs and up keep on the storefront building that they occupy. This building was originally built in the 1900's. The State Avenue Church of Christ has been shining the light of Christ in the neighborhood for the past 40 years. It ministers to over 100 people each week through a relationship based ministry. The Hope of Christ has transformed many lives throughout the history of this church and continues to do so today.
Despite the negative reputation the inner city gets, because of drugs, crime, and low education rates, it is a place where many wonderful people live. Some of its greatest characteristics are loyalty and people focus. One statistic indicates that nearly 50% of the adults in Lower Price Hill area are illiterate. This neighborhood also once held the record for the highest high school drop out rate in the state of Ohio. Hope Inner City’s goal is to start more relationship-focused churches in other inner city neighborhoods throughout Cincinnati and the United States - in so doing the hope of Jesus Christ will be brought to those who live in the inner city!
In Chicago, IL; Crossroads Missions has teamed with Rock Church & Circle
Urban Ministries in focusing on facility renovation within the
community of Austin, which is on the West Side of Chicago. The focus
is to renovate an abandoned high school, which will provide 12 more
classrooms and offices for a Christian preparatory school. Within that
complex, work will also be done to rehab a 1,100-seat auditorium,
replacing a gymnasium as Rock Church’s sanctuary. We are also involved
in community outreach by helping in after-school programs, tutoring in
an adult literacy program, serving in a breakfast ministry, and
building relationships with the adults and children in the
neighborhood.
