COVID-19 Update Effective Sunday October 4th 2020
Crosslines Partners,
This season of COVID-19 has been a challenge for everyone in various ways. We hope that you have fared as well as can be expected during this difficult time. When COVID-19 became a recognized threat, the city followed Missouri’s lead in placing a stay-at-home order. At that time Crosslines also altered our services to a drive-through service delivery. The state has once again moved into another phase of reopening with the city of Joplin following suit.
While Crosslines will not be up to normal operations, we will also be moving into another phase in our reopening starting MONDAY, JUNE 1st. The phase has some key features to share:
We can’t wait to see you in person. Change is always a challenge. Please be patient with the process. It’s new for everyone – staff, volunteers and clients. Thank you for your support during this present challenge and future challenges. The support has been AMAZING! Crosslines counts it a blessing to have such a wonderful team working in its many capacities for the good of others all for the glory of God.
Thank you and God Bless!

Welcome to CrosslinesIn March of 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. We are looking forward to many more years of "Serving God's people in need through church and community partnerships."
