Importance

Choices Resource Center of Oak Ridge, TN reports: 65% of our abortion vulnerable clients claimed that they were considering abortion because of problems concerning family relationships, living situations, and/or financial burdens. All of these problems may have been averted by the presence of a home.

In addition, due to a variety of relational and socio-economic factors, many young women who are cast out of their homes when their pregnancy is discovered often find themselves in unhealthy or life threatening living arrangements. There is a specific and urgent need here in our area, recognized by the high volumes of residents at similar facilities in surrounding counties, and Crossroads Ministry seeks to partner with the collective vision to address this silent epidemic.

In 2007, Crossroads was approached with requests for housing six at-risk mothers and their babies but because the facility is not yet available Crossroads was unable to provide services.

Mission Statement

Crossroads Ministry’s mission is to prepare young, single mothers for the challenges ahead by learning to face the world head-on with goals, good decisions, and training.

Our Purpose

The purpose of this ministry is to Glorify God by establishing a community at the Crossroads facility where we can serve the young moms and their babies in a protected safe environment, where they can connect with each other, establish life-long friendships, and grow in their mothering and job skills, until it is time to take the next step toward independence.
