Multi-day volunteer experiences or mission trips are the core of CrossRoads Missions. We provide opportunities for churches, organizations, and individuals to serve more effectively than they could. We facilitate the trips and partner with local ministries needing outside assistance and our subject matter expertise. We welcome motivated, service-minded groups and individuals of all ages to serve alongside us.
Why are these opportunities valuable?
Serving Experiences are powerful! Multi-day trips open our eyes to what the real world is like, changing perspectives and often the course of our lives. Through short-term mission trips, some can experience what it means to be ‘the hands and feet of Jesus.’ That service teaches us about sacrifice, suffering, and sustainable impact. Volunteering also connects us to a world of like-minded individuals. All who participate are impacted to the core of who they are, an effect that can resonate across generations.
