We are committed to Transforming the Triangle and the World! This means using our gifts, abilities, and resources to help people connect to God.
How Can You Get Involved?
There are many opportunities that need a helping hand and a joyful heart. It may not sound like much, but simple tasks like collecting food or thrift store contributions, sorting donations at a food pantry, tutoring an elementary student in reading, or using your handyman skills, are all tremendous blessings to our community.

Sports Missions Outreach (SMO) is an outreach ministry led by Pat Teague. We use sports to share the great news of Jesus Christ. He faced the challenge set before Him and conquered. 1 Corinthians 9:24 tells us to run the race of life in such a way as to win. This ministry is all about helping you win that race that is set before you. Hebrews 12:1-2 explains to us that there is a great crowd of witnesses cheering for you. We are a part of that crowd cheering you on as you run the race God has given you to impact the world!
Pat Teague is a Community Sports Chaplain to private and public schools, including local universities, where our students attend. Pat reaches out to athletic directors, coaches, and students.
In the arena of sports, students can express their values, goals, and dreams. If we can reach athletes where they live, they can genuinely connect with Jesus.
Pat is always eager to partner with current and former athletes, coaches, and fans who want to love their zipcode by serving in sports. Contact Pat to see how you can get involved!
Give by Check - Make a check to "Crossroads Fellowship" with "Chaplain SMO" in the memo.
Pat is a member of Crossroads Fellowship and an ordained minister, having served at a local church here in Raleigh for 13 years. He is happily married to Sheila and has three wonderful children. Pat played football with NC State and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he has been a speaker for over 25 years with Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

Making a Difference in Our Community
The mission of Crossroads is to transform the Triangle and the World. One of the ways we do this is by partnering with local agencies to address the needs of the community in the areas of compassionate outreach, personal empowerment and next generation outreach.
We believe that by helping to meet the basic needs of our community, such as food, clothing, furniture, affordable housing and medical care, we can help pave the path toward self-sustainability.
We also believe that by helping to meet the mental and emotional needs of our community, such as pregnancy education and care, prison aftercare and family support, we can help the members of our community move beyond self-sustainability toward growth.
And finally, we believe that by partnering with local agencies who pour into the next generation through mentoring relationships, addressing the needs of at-risk youth and by supporting our schools, we can transform the Triangle beyond our generation.
