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 just 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.

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.
The sports programs within our school systems have suffered recent budget cuts. As a result, sports leaders for these students are discouraged. One of the goals in his ministry is to be a blessing to the leaders and students (Luke 10).
The two areas where students express their life message are through the arts and sports. 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 excited about his partnership with Crossroads and serving in the mission field of sports and schools. Together we are building the Kingdom of God to impact our community and the world. Could God be calling you to join us as we reach our city for Jesus?

Sports Missions Outreach (SMO) is an outreach ministry using sports to share the great news of Jesus Christ, the ultimate athlete. He faced the challenge set before Him and conquered. I 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! But we cannot run it for you. Only you can run the race God has given you to impact the world around you.

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.
