ONE FUND. TWO YEARS. FOUR PURPOSES.

Together, as a Christ-led community, we are moving FORWARD—expanding the work of Christ at Crossroads Community Church.

We are seeking to fund growth in missions and outreach, expand our campus capacity, reduce debt, and prepare for future ministry opportunities.

FORWARD to greater spiritual impact through world missions and local outreach —10% of all that is given will touch lives for Jesus beyond our walls.

FORWARD to greater campus capacity —adding parking and renovated office space to serve our growing congregation and staff.

FORWARD to greater financial freedom —aiming to reduce our debt by at least half, or even more as God provides, freeing up resources for present and future ministry.

FORWARD to greater future possibilities —positioning our church today for potential future expansion, such as a new auditorium, more Children’s Ministry space, and additional classrooms for spiritual growth.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS A “ONE-FUND” CAMPAIGN?

A “One-Fund” campaign means that all the money given will be pooled into one
fund, rather than having a General Ministry Fund and a separate Campaign Fund. The purpose of this is to ensure that all the General Ministry Fund needs (i.e.,Children’s, Youth, Young Adults, Men’s, Women’s, Missions, etc.) are taken care of first before funding the parking lot, debt reduction, and office remodel.

HOW LONG IS THE DURATION OF THE FORWARD CAMPAIGN?

The FORWARD campaign will kick off early February 2026 and will culminate in March of 2028, a two-year campaign.

WHY DO WE NEED PARKING?

Presently we do not have enough parking spots for our Sunday morning services, and certainly not enough for our Easter and Christmas Eve services. Thankfully Crossroads owns the 2.7 acre lot north of the present parking lot which allows us to build additional parking in that area. Adequate parking is important as it says, “There is room for you!”

HOW MUCH OF OUR DEBT ARE WE HOPING TO PAY DOWN?

The goal of the FORWARD campaign is to reduce 50% of the debt, which is approximately $2.6 million of the $5.2 million present debt amount. This will free up money for Crossroads to do additional ministry both locally and around the world! If the giving allows us to pay off more than 50%, we will gladly do so!

WHY RENOVATE SOME OF THE OFFICE SPACE?

Currently, Crossroads’ offices are full, including some spaces being shared on a rotational basis by up to three staff members. This renovation will add office space in the upstairs area so that our current and future staff have workspaces inside our church building.

WHY DO THIS CAMPAIGN NOW?

Crossroads is growing, and if we don’t act now, we will stifle growth, which will also reduce the amount of people who will hear about and meet Jesus. Parker’s zip code – 80134 – is the seventh fastest growing zip code in the entire country (not state, but country!), which is evidenced by all the building of new neighborhoods, apartment complexes, and even the widening of Lincoln Avenue in front of Crossroads. We desire to be proactive instead of reactive to all this growth.

WHAT IS THE PRIORITY ORDER OF SPENDING THE MONEY THAT IS GIVEN TO THE FORWARD CAMPAIGN?

The priorities are as follows: 1) General Ministry Fund; 2) Parking lot expansion; 3) Debt reduction; 4) Office renovation. In addition, 10% of all FORWARD money given will go to world missions for impactful projects in Lebanon and Romania.

HOW WILL WE BE INFORMED OF THE PROGRESS OF THE FORWARD CAMPAIGN?

Once a quarter in our worship services we will be updating the congregation of the recent progress. We will also be sending out periodic updates via email and other methods.
