Educational Resources.
Our goal is simple: to equip people with practical skills, restore confidence, and support households as they move toward greater stability and hope. This is accomplished through our educational sessions and Heart to Table recipes, an offshoot of our Thrifty Tips for Trying Times newsletter.
Crossfire: Heart to Table Recipes
Building Skills.
Strengthening Stability.
Supporting Families in Tight Places.
At Crossfire Ministries, meeting immediate needs like food and clothing is only part of the story. We also believe in walking alongside individuals and families as they build skills, confidence, and long-term stability.
Our 2026 education and skill-building classes are designed to support people navigating tight places by offering practical tools for daily life, work readiness, and financial stewardship. These programs are offered in a welcoming, encouraging environment and are open to individuals and families seeking to strengthen their household and personal resources.
