Overview

Mission

Crosstown ministries engages in leadership development and discipleship programs for students and adults - improving educational performance and advancing character and culture in the community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Crosstown 119 is our private christian school providing 5 day a week education as well as after school and summer programs for 1st-7th grade students. Named for psalm 119, we seek to root our students deeply in god's word as the foundation for life. With this anchor, we endeavor to make disciples in every area of life: developing academically, becoming emotionally healthy, finding their gifts and calling, and growing in their faith.

The verdict
