Crossfire Youth Ministries

We have been able to provide a full meal each night we have been open for the past several years. We currently have some Fridays & starting in the new year, some Wednesdays available in Ephrata for people to serve in this way. If this is something you, your small group, or some friends are interested in helping with please reach out to Jody at 717-572-9188 or private message us. We greatly appreciate it whether it's once a month or once in awhile. Thanks for your consideration!

What an amazing night we had at the higher-ups park. Over 50 folks from the Ashland Community joined up with the over 50 kids and adults from our mission trip to hold an exciting event.

I enjoyed seeing the kids play on all the playground equipment and adults fellowshipping. It truly was a night of Hope.
