The Marshall Area Economic Development Alliance (MAEDA)/Choose Marshall held a ribbon cutting to celebrate Crossroads Church and Ministries rejoining the chamber.
Crossroads Church and Ministries (CCM) has been a pillar of faith and service in the Marshall community for over 33 years. CCM follows the way of Jesus, emphasizes belonging, human dignity, and transformation through worship services, classes, leadership formation retreats, service to the community, region, state, Haiti, and online.
“We are thrilled to become a member of the Choose Marshall Chamber,” said Clare Loughrige, Co-Lead Pastor at Crossroads Church. “Our mission is helping people navigate the journey and to guide individuals through spiritual growth, while also extending a hand to those in need through our charitable efforts. Joining the chamber allows us to connect with other local businesses and organizations and to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our community while partnering with others to make a meaningful impact in Marshall.”
Crossroads is committed to helping people of all ages and backgrounds on their life journey. Their CR Kids and CR Youth ministries are committed to creating safe places for kids and students to experience the love of God and engage faith through relationships with their peers and adult leaders. CCM hosts small groups, classes and retreats for adults that allow for spiritual transformation. The church’s Food Pantry and Care Ministry Team support people with food needs and those with illness or significant life struggles. CCM is committed to being a community space, hosting Bronson Sexual Assault Services Child Advocacy Center, a Prayer Garden and Labyrinth, and overseeing the fiduciary management of the Michigan Human Trafficking Task Force.
Scott Loughrige, Co-Lead Pastor at Crossroads also commented, “Over the years our church is grateful that they have been able to open our doors to Marshall Public Schools’ athletic teams for team dinners and practices, area health providers for vaccination clinics, a Child Advocacy Center, the Bread of Life food pantry, Anti-Human Trafficking and Domestic Violence conferences. Partnering with the chamber to do our part for the wellness and prosperity of the region is a privilege.”
