This spring, we want to focus on reflecting the love of Jesus by reaching out to others with compassion, unifying grace, and sacrificial action. Below, you can learn more about one opportunity we would love to invite you to begin thinking and praying about.

Cross Purpose

Cross Purpose is a non-profit organization that seeks to abolish relational, economic, and spiritual poverty through tuition-free career training and community development. An important element of their work is the cultivation of “Ally” relationships. This Spring Semester, we invite you, your family, or your Gospel Community to join CrossPurpose and their mission by becoming an ally.

What is a Cross Purpose Ally?

On Wednesday nights from 6–8pm, we come together for “Family Gatherings.” Three to four allies share a meal with 10–15 Leaders, play a game or two, and check in on how things are progressing in our Leaders’ lives and careers. Allies help provide Leaders with social capital and community outside their normal circles.

Learn more about becoming an Ally

As followers of Jesus, we are called to love our neighbor through the joys of life and through its pains. We are called to be there in times of righteousness and in times of injustice. During this holiday season, we’re inviting our community to engage with and care for our neighbors by actively participating anew with one of our Mission Partners. We will share about several of these partners in our weekly email over the upcoming month, including specific ways to serve.

Save Our Youth

Mission and Action:

Save our Youth provides one-to-one mentorship as a pathway to help young people overcome adverse experiences and learn to embrace hope: the belief that they can have something better than they have now and that they have a role to play in making it better. Save Our Youth is currently celebrating 30 years of connecting youth to hope!

Who is Served?

Save Our Youth most commonly serves young people ages 10–7.

Why Is This Work Important

Frederick Douglass once said, “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” When young people are led and encouraged to pursue their dreams, there is a higher probability that they will achieve those dreams, no matter what background they first came from.
