Community Missions

Communion Offering
Collection offerings are given monthly in conjunction with the taking of communion.  The funds collected are used for local relief efforts.

Bridge Over Trouble Water Bus
Mobile Food Pantry
The Bridge Over Troubled Water Food Pantry Bus continues to expand its reach to better serve families across Cass County and the South Kansas City metro.

Transitioning from a traditional brick-and-mortar location to a mobile pantry was not an easy decision, but it was the right one. The need in our community has grown rapidly, and mobility allows them to reach more people, reduce transportation barriers, and serve neighborhoods where food access remains limited.

Every mobile stop includes:
    Fresh and shelf-stable food
    Client-choice distribution whenever possible
    Resource navigation support
    Connections to additional FRCCC services
    Care coordinators available onsite 

If you would like to make a donation to Bridge Over Troubled Water through CrossRoads, please make your check out to CrossRoads UMC and note on the memo line "BOTW.”
