The Legacy Plan
The Legacy Plan is an Endowment Fund, designed to sustain and advance Crossing Church’s mission and ministries well into the future.
Endowment Fund
What is it?
An Endowment Fund represents a perpetual, self-replenishing source of financial support. Contributions made to the Legacy Plan are invested, and annually, a portion of the generated interest is distributed by the Endowment Board of Directors in alignment with Crossing Church’s mission, to help people find an intimate personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The critical aspect is that only the interest earned each year is utilized, allowing the principal to remain intact and grow. Over time, as additional gifts are added to the principal, the Endowment Fund becomes a significant vehicle for expanding Crossing Church’s mission both locally and globally.
Crossing Church has been a transformative blessing in many peoples lives, you can help ensure future generations will also experience God’s redemptive power through the work of this church by contributing to The Legacy Plan.

What are the Legacy Plan Funds?
The Legacy Plan comprises seven distinct funds, each dedicated to achieving various aspects of ministry. Donors have the opportunity to designate their contributions to specific funds. When you give, your gift goes towards all of these funds.
Vision Fund
This fund exists to prime the vision of Crossing Church. Each year God presents an opportunity for Crossing Church to do something new that has not been done before. Often, there is not a line item in the budget to finance this specific vision. The Vision Fund creates a wonderful resource to test the vision and add to the speed with which Crossing Church takes ground for The Kingdom.
Influence Fund
There are partnerships and ministries that could benefit from our story, support and financial investment, including helping support conferences, pastoral retreats, church planting, and network development.
Expansion Fund
Crossing Church continues to expand as God presents new and exciting opportunities. The Expansion Fund is the first money spent each year on new projects. It allows projects to get accomplished quickly resulting in greater effectiveness for the Kingdom. Expansions include new campuses in new communities and partnerships with community organizations.
Scholarship Fund
Children and students continue to be a high priority to Crossing Church. Each year there are several wonderful opportunities for kids of all ages to participate in programs, however, those programs come with a level of financial obligation. The Scholarship Fund exists to help mitigate some of the financial obstacles to kids participating in summer camp, after school programs, and preschool.
Impact Fund
The Impact Fund exists to help the “Least of These” among us. It is specifically designed to help those in need. These founds are designated to be used to further the ministry of Crossing Thrift Stores and benevolence ministries. (Counseling, Medical Help, Kentucky Tornadoes, Ukraine Efforts)
Capital Fund
The Capital Fund is used to jump-start capital projects at Crossing Church. It helps alleviate the burden of unexpected projects, such as, roofs, repairs, and remodels.
Mission Fund
The Mission Fund exists to give added support to Crossing Church mission partners around the globe. Mission partners often have specific needs or opportunities that this fund uniquely qualifies and positions us to meet.
