The goal of youth mission trips at Crossroads is to serve economically depressed areas of the country. Participants have the opportunity to experience the joy of enhancing the lives of others while developing skills and the ability to work together as a team.

Youth mission trips are scheduled every summer. Young people are invited to participate if they have completed 6th grade and the eligible age extends through high school.

The youth at Crossroads Church have participated in several mission opportunities sponsored by Mountain T.O.P. (Tennessee Outreach Program). Mountain T.O.P. is an organization dedicated to rural life ministry on the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee in helping to meet the physical, spiritual, emotional and social needs of the people living in the Appalachian Mountain.

Crossroad Church has also chosen mission opportunities offered by Group Workcamps, an all-inclusive, interdenominational and international short- term youth mission trip organization. Crossroad youth have visited two Native American reservations, one in Wyoming and one in South Dakota, to perform home repair and community service projects. During the summer of 2008 they traveled to South Carolina to work on projects for local residents coordinated by Group Workcamps.
