Missions Ministry
At CrossLife, everyone is encouraged to live a missional lifestyle in obedience to Christ. We are actively engaged in missions by praying, going, sending, welcoming, and mobilizing. Our aim is to join Jesus in bringing God's truth and love to the nations.
Grow in your missional intelligence by attending a missions seminar or conference! You can apply for assistance with conference fees by filling out this form. The missions committee will follow up with you.
CrossLife’s missions committee is dedicated to:
Educating and informing the congregation about mission outreach.
Encouraging congregational support of missionaries and mission programs through prayer and finances.
Sending members to go, see, serve, and learn through short-term and long-term mission activities locally and around the world.
Implementing congregational activities to integrate missions to become an integral part of the Christian lifestyle.
Are you interested in participating in a missions trip or attending a missions-related conference? Please contact our missions committee for information on prayer support and financial assistance. Email questions to missions@crosslifecc.com .
If you are interested in learning more about our missions committee, please email missions@crosslifecc.com . We meet at 3 p.m. on the second Sunday of each month.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Our VBS has come to an end and by His Grace we were able to point the kids towards the Gospel! We are thankful that the local church will follow up on all 69 kids guiding them to grow in Christ. We sense our mission was accomplished! Jesus’ name was proclaimed to the kids in Hua-Lien, Taiwan! Thank you for your prayers as all of you are also part of the Taiwan Mission Team!
For His Glory,
Ronald and Grace

Lao Isaan People of Thailand
our adopted, unreached people group
The Haechton Family
Crosslife has adopted the largely unreached Lao Isaan people of Thailand as our primary focus for learning and prayer. Our Sunday School classes have a special emphasis on missions and have begun learning about this region (in the northeast of Thailand), its people, and its needs. The Haechton family, OMF missionaries serving in the Lao Isaan region, are our main partners in proclaiming the Gospel in this area.
