Become a Partner

As a church, become a Partner by including Cross Roads in your annual plan.
Partners are critical to Cross Roads’ ability to carry out its mission. Partner gifts enable our ministry to keep fees low, provide scholarships, and launch new initiatives. Cross Roads needs to generate at least $50,000 annually from Partner commitments. Fees alone do not cover the cost of camp, so, we offer camperships to help families who can’t afford the modest camp fee. Partner gifts guarantee any child can come to camp. As a Partner, your organization directly enables the faith formation of young people and raises up future leaders for our church.
