The Local Ministry Outreach (LMO) group is a part of the Crossroads' Missions Ministry Team. Its desire is to provide a wide range of outreach opportunities for all members of the Crossroads Church Body (men, women and children), and to encourage individuals to participate in outreach programs in an effort to help them discover their unique ministry interests and talents while serving others.
LMO Mission Statement
To serve others in our community by building
relationships and utilizing our gifts and talents. We desire: to serve in our local community; to develop partnerships with local agencies and support them with our time, talents, efforts and donations; and to encourage and motivate the Crossroads Church Body to share their talents and gifts.
LMO Biblical Calling
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.—1 Peter 4:10
