In 1982, Crosslines Churches of the Joplin Area began with the mission of "Concerned volunteers working together across denominational lines to meet human needs in the name of Jesus." We started with the support of 10 churches desiring to eliminate the duplication of services while providing a centralized location to operate a food pantry and clothing bank.
As the community need for services grew, so did Crosslines Ministries. Today, we have more than 60 supporting churches, over 200 volunteers, and 9 part-time staff members. We just celebrated 35 years of service to the Joplin, Carl Junction and Webb City communities. 

Located in Everton, MO, we facilitate life change through quality camps, retreats, and experiential learning opportunities. Our facilities include athletic fields and courts, 2 swimming pools, a worship and retreat center and 4.5 miles of walking trails.

In 2007, compelled by Christ's commission and the great need for the gospel in Japan, a team of church planters moved to Japan with a vision to make disciples by planting churches in urban Japan.
The Japanese are the second largest unreached people group in the world. Most people in Japan have never been to church, have never read the Bible, and have no Christian friends. It is estimated that 95% of Japanese have never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The first church began in December 2009 in Nagoya, Japan. Since that time, Ethan and Audrey Greer established the Mustard Seed Christian Church in Sendai, Japan.
