This year, a portion of our Christmas offering was invested directly into mission work—helping send members of our church family to serve in Peru, Japan, Brazil, and with Campus Crusade for Christ. Your generosity helped people step out in faith, seek God’s calling, and say “yes” to where He is leading. It’s a beautiful thing to be part of a church that supports individuals pursuing God’s purpose for their lives. Thank you for helping make that possible.

This year, a portion of our funds also went toward important tech and facility upgrades for our staff. Ministry happens every day, and having the right tools matters—especially when equipment unexpectedly fails and needs immediate replacement. Thanks to your faithful generosity, we were able to respond quickly, keep ministry moving forward, and support our team with what they need to serve our church well.

Earlier this year, when the magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck central Myanmar on March 28, 2025—and its tremors caused significant damage in Thailand—a portion of our Christmas funds was immediately directed toward relief efforts. Through our partnership with New International, we were able to send support directly to those most affected, offering help, hope, and tangible care in a moment of urgent need. Thank you for giving in a way that allows us to respond quickly when crises arise.

Our Crossroads Christmas Offering challenge this year includes a much- needed capital project: repaving our parking lot. While it’s not glamorous or attention-grabbing, it is essential for safety, accessibility, and the long-term care of our facility. Because of our ongoing commitment to pay down our mortgage, projects like this are difficult to budget for—but with your generous, over and above gifts, we can be ready to complete it without delay. It may not be flashy, but it is absolutely necessary, and your giving will help us maintain a safe and welcoming space for everyone who comes through our doors.

Our calling as a church is to help those who are hurting—both around the world and here in our own community. Tragedy, crisis, and difficulty often come without warning, but when they do, we want to be ready to respond with compassion, support, and tangible help. Our Christmas Offering makes that possible—providing funds that are immediately available to meet urgent needs globally and locally, bringing hope and pointing people to Jesus in their hardest moments.
