About Us
Church Resources | City's Ministries
Our heart and soul is to help our community; to care for the fatherless and the family, give a hand up to the single parent, share life with the incarcerated, and show hospitality to the stranger in our community. This is the heart of Jesus in his people.
​
Sometimes, churches have a lot of interest and energy to serve, but they don’t know where to start. In response to this, Crosstown pilots ministry programs and invites churches to join us, desiring for member churches to eventually take them over from us. Crosstown is a 501c3.

Our Vision
One Church, called to One Hope, loyal to One Lord, to work and connect the people of our city seeking His help.
CrossTown organizes, invites and joins all — who share the vision — to be part of the work the Spirit has called us to do; creating a better Las Cruces through unity and serving in the name of Christ Jesus.
CrossTown seeks to identify the needs of the people of Las Cruces, then connects individuals and congregations in our city to collectively meet those needs. Together, we can be the catalyst for organizing the city’s congregations: the challenger to every partner to lift up Jesus in his mercy, justice and compassion.
Our Mission
Our Story
CrossTown began in the success of a citywide event known as the Convoy of Hope. This particular community organization required behind-the-scenes work between churches across the region of Las Cruces. But the big question hanging over everyone’s head was, “How will it work? How will churches, of different denominations and opinions, work together to obtain good for a city they all love?” Here, CrossTown stepped up to the call — by providing a platform for other churches to unify and experience the joy and power of multi-denominations working for one purpose.
​
Our various events spark creative ideas and the development of Christ as love in action. We seek to rebuild and establish relationships among Christians. We desire to bring improvement to our community, its families, marriages and individuals. Together, we have been motivated to pursue the righteousness of the Lord to establish favor with our city and its inhabitants. CrossTown became a rallying point that day, for all congregations. But we don’t want to stop there — we’ve realized that, without an entity like CrossTown, unity would be harder to obtain. So we move forward.

CrossTown is the catalyst for organizing the city’s congregations: the challenger to every partner to lift up Jesus in his mercy, justice and compassion.
