MISSIONS
REGIONAL CHURCH PLANTING
Regionally, we are committed to establishing reproducing communities of Christ followers in neighboring counties. In 2009, Crossroads Napoleon began holding public services as our first church plant. In 2013 we partnered with Archbold Evangelical Church to plant King's Cross Church in Defiance. In 2015, Crossroads, along with the Fellowship of Evangelical Churches (FEC) started the Synergy Ohio Church Planting Co-op and worked with them to get a church started in Deshler, Ohio. Crossroads and Synergy Ohio have since planted gospel-centered churches in Reading, Waldron, and Adrian, MI as well as Deshler, Columbus Grove and Wooster, Ohio. We continue to eagerly explore opportunities as we learn of needs and connections in neighboring communities.
INTERNATIONAL MISSIONS
Internationally, we are committed to being an authentic faith community, well-informed about and passionately committed to establishing reproducing communities of Christ followers, specifically in India, southern Africa, and the Basque country of Spain. In 2019 the Southern Africa Church Planting Initiative was started, in partnership with the Fellowship of Evangelical Churches, the Evangelical Church of Zimbabwe and others to plant churches in rural villages all throughout rural Africa.
AFRICA CHURCH
PLANTING INITIATIVE (ACPI)
the Fellowship of Evangelical Churches (FEC), ACPI and other partners have been working together since 2019 to plant sustainable, reproducing churches in rural areas of Africa.
SOLID ROCK INTERNATIONAL (DOMINICAN REPUBLIC)

INDIA INITIATIVE

In 2016, through FEC connections, Crossroads began investing in Zion Evangelistic Care Ministries (ZEC). ZEC works to equip and train local pastors for ministry, as well as to send pastors to launch new evangelical churches.
