Global Initiatives
Crossway Global is the worldwide missions and local outreach ministry of the church. The gospel initiatives we support include, but are not limited to, the following causes that help us glorify God by making disciples of Jesus Christ who go and make disciples.
- Training Pastors
- Planting Churches
- Sending God’s Word
- Feeding the Homeless
- Defending Life
- Rescuing Orphans
- Disaster Relief
- Evangelism and Discipleship
A Crossway Global partnerships fall into one of three categories:
-
Crossway Missionaries. A Crossway Missionary is someone who was previously an active member of the church whom God called into a vocational gospel ministry that helps extend the mission of Crossway Church. Some missionaries serve locally and others serve internationally in places like Camaroon, Indonesia, and Africa.
-
Strategic Partners. A Strategic Partner is a larger non-profit organization that aligns well with Crossway Church in cause, gospel heart, mission strategy, and theology. As an extension of our ministry, we invest in theirs because they have a proven record of successful, faithful, and fruitful ministry implementation.
- Institutional Outreach. Institutional outreach describes specific local outreach or global missions that Crossway Church funds, administrates, and implements directly like benevolence, food pantry, and local media outreach.

Crossway Global Funding
We teach biblical financial stewardship and believe God's way to fund His gospel work is through the systematic giving of His church. As a starting point, we direct at least ten percent of all giving to Crossway Church to support our many local outreach and global missions initiatives. For these reasons, we do not fund church ministries or missions through additional car washes, candy bar sales, bake sales, yard sales, or the like.
The elder body reviews and approves funding for all Crossway Global initiatives.
