Local Support.
Food Shelf in-a-box
Every 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month we host a food shelf in partnership with Good in the 'Hood, Trinity Lutheran of Minnehaha Falls, and the Nokomis East Neighborhood Association. All neighbors in need are welcome to stop by to pick up food and supplies between 2:00-4:00pm.
Supporting Neighbors
The Crosstown building is utilized for a number of local events for the LNCS PTA, Girl Scout troops, elections, Care Partners learning pods, neighborhood meetings, homeschool coops, piano recitals, and more.
Supporting Local Churches
Crosstown is also home for two other congregations. Verbo en Accion Covenant Church and Bethel Ethiopian Church are congregations that all share this same space during the week for worship, Bible studies, and events.

Jim & Hydi operate the Akagi Bible Camp which has ministered the love of God to thousands of Japanese.
James Tang
ECC Global Personnel
James Tang's weekly ministry in East Africa takes him through wilderness and danger we can only imagine from movies. It is the love of Christ that compels him to travel overland (think of Jeeps, motorbikes and walking long distances) to remote villages where he spends days and nights encouraging, discipling younger leaders, and speaking in churches.
Mark Anderson
Mark Anderson has spent a lifetime in missions and understanding cultures. He serves with the ministry Spoken Worldwide which presents the Gospel in story form for oral cultures around the world, many of whom are illiterate or do not have the Bible (yet) in their own language. They have also developed some remarkable tools for discipleship in these cultures. If you want to be on his email list contact him at markanderson@spoken.org
