Louisville expands community partners’ presence and outreach while providing relationships by bringing together local churches, organizations, and community members through service projects, youth events, and community outreach. CrossRoads Missions provides programming expertise, staffing, funding, volunteers, materials, and other essentials to local partners with identified community needs.
In the 27 years that Crossroads Missions has been in Louisville, our programming has grown beyond the city to include surrounding counties. We serve missional families/community advocates, veterans, churches, local nonprofits, and faith-based organizations.
The success of this program requires several different components, all working together:
-Construction: Whether we are renovating an existing property or building a new home from the ground up, this is a cornerstone of our work and improves the almost 20 impoverished or disaffected neighborhoods in Louisville.
-Connection: Working with out-of-town volunteers and local individuals and groups in the Louisville area, we provide service opportunities that improve communities while allowing families a chance at homeownership.
-Community Advocates: We have partnered with several churches in the Louisville area, which connect us with good missional candidates – individuals or families. This provides people living in those missional homes with a support system that emphasizes discipleship and accountability.
-Community Outreach: We connect volunteers with nonprofits to perform every kind of community service imaginable. From construction to meals to school supplies, we help as many underserved populations as funding allows.
