Outreach & Missions
CrossLife knows we have a mission that is commissioned to us by God. We are to share the love and good news of Jesus Christ to everyone. We organize our mission around an Acts 1:8 strategy.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Acts 1:8 (ESV)

Mission Opportunities
CrossLife sent a group to North Carolina to serve those affected by Hurricane Florence. This was a great opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
Carol McGinnis is joining a team heading to the DR in June. They are trying to collect supplies for VBS and construction. Supplies are needed by June 1. There is a table in the lobby to leave donations.
Items Needed: embroidery floss, beads, balloons, markers, stickers, permanent markers, hammers, work gloves, and hard candies.
Sharing the love of Christ to our local and surrounding communities. We do this mostly through partnerships with schools and providing community events.
Our Jerusalem & Judea Mission:
Ducketts Lane Elementary School
We have reached out to Ducketts Lane in a variety of areas including Easter Egg Hunts, Good News Clubs, and Teacher Appreciation. We’ve also had the opportunity to bless individual families through Thanksgiving baskets and Christmas gifts.
Local agencies we support
Sharing the love of Christ to people outside our immediate community but within our country.
Our Samaria Mission:
Broken Wall Project Church Plant
We are directly involved in Church Planting. We pray with The Broken Wall Project as they minister to southeast Baltimore. Church Planter Ron Willoughby and his wife Barbara live in the community and work closely with North Bend Elementary School. Look for more information at brokenwallproject.org. Also, here is a link to an interview one of our missionaries, Scott, did with one of our new friends, Terell.
North American Church Planting
We are associated with the North America Mission Board (NAMB), Baptist Convention of Maryland / Delaware (BCM/D), and Mid-Maryland Baptist Association (MMBA). Through these organizations we partner and financially support planting churches and the spreading of the Good News of Jesus at home and around the World.
Sharing the love of Christ outside the border of our country. We have an ongoing partnership with several overseas missions.
Our Ends of The Earth Mission:
Dominican Republic
We have sent a mission team almost every year for the past 15 years.
We are involved in international mission sending teams to Hananneel, Mexico; to Chile. We currently we have a partnership with MIVA (Ministerio Infantile Viva Amor, Children’s Ministry Love Alive) in Pimentel, Dominican Republic. Their school teaches over 200 children in grades K-8. The children receive basic education, the love of Christ, and two meals a day. You can sponsor a child at CERINFA by going to pimentelproject.org.
