“My wife & I were deeply grateful for our time with Clif & Sally. They are prolific listeners who displayed sincere attentiveness to our stories, while simultaneously remaining sensitive to the leadership and voice of the Spirit. We benefited immensely from their searching questions, candid feedback, and expertise that equipped us with new ways of thinking and practical tools to implement in our relationship with God and one another.” - Pastor in New England
Caring for the people who care for everyone else.
Your gift puts trained providers in the room with Pastors, wives and ministry leaders who are running on empty — before the leader, ministry, the marriage, or the calling falls apart.
One leader is NEVER just one leader.
This is why, giving to leader care, and crisis intervention goes further than almost anything you can fund.

People reached last year through the pastors & leaders CrossPoint has journeyed with.
Most pastors and ministry leaders arrive quietly: a referral from a friend, a form filled out at midnight, an elder who noticed something was off.
However they come, they're welcome here.
Do you know a pastor or ministry leader who needs a safe place to tell the whole truth, as their whole self, in the presence of an empathetic and skilled witness? If so, share this form with them using the "Get Help" button below.
Questions people ask
-
Yes. CrossPoint Ministry is a registered 501(c)(3). You'll get an emailed receipt immediately and a year-end summary every January.
-
You can designate gifts, when opportunities to do so are available. Undesignated gifts are the most useful to us, because they let us respond to whoever calls next.
-
Many do, on a sliding scale. We try our best to not turn anyone away due to the costs— which is only possible because of donors. Donors also help us maintain a non bias posture, which is crucial to much of the work we do with churches and leaders.
-
We never share a leader's name, church, or situation with donors without permission. Stories are published with written permission, and often with details changed.
-
Yes, there are often many oppurtunities to volunteer, particularly if you have special skills. If you feel like you have something that would benefit CrossPoint and the leaders we serve, please reach out to [email protected]
What your gift actually pays for
CrossPoint is not a building or a program. It is people, time, and a place quiet enough to tell the truth. Here is what this costs.
Coaching
A trained provider on the phone with a leader who has nowhere else to take it. Most first calls happen within 72 hours of reaching out.
$500
A series of coaching
Several sessions with a Soul Care Network provider or participation in a seasonal cohort — long enough to move a leader from surviving the week to rebuilding the year.
$1,000
Retreat
Space for a pastor or leader to step away. For many, this is the first unhurried week they've had in a decade.
$1,500
Other ways to give
Make it payable to CrossPoint Ministry and mail to P.O. Box 4161, Louisville, KY 40204.
