CrossTown. 
Beauty and Brokenness.
Strength and Pain.
Overcoming the hurt but still hurting within.

CrossTown is an under-resourced neighborhood near downtown Orlando, FL. The community was given this name by its residents, so you won’t find CrossTown on any maps or official documents. But you will see it tattooed on arms, etched on basketball courts, and written in people’s hearts. Built on the other side of Division Ave, the effects of segregation and racial prejudice have created multi-generational poverty. However, it is by God’s providence that this neighborhood, long plagued by poverty, drugs, crime, and hopelessness, would have the very source of hope in its name...the Cross.

We hear a lot of times “I’m a product of my environment.” It means our neighbors are more likely to fall prey and become a part of this negative environment that shaped them. This is a cycle that repeats itself over and over again. Find out Who We Are in the midst of this environment, and how we see God working through us.
