Crossroad Bible Institute has been working since 1984 to provide people in prison with a faith-based reentry education, equip the church to make disciples, guide inmates into reentry agencies upon their release and educate the church on criminal and restorative justice issues.  Crossroads Prison Ministries has trained over 5,000 volunteers, with 30 from Faith CRC, to equip, disciple and encourage people in prison with the Word of God. This is a ministry you can do right at home. Visit their website for more information.

PADS (Public Action to Deliver Shelter) provides temporary shelter, and transitional and permanent housing for people without homes. They encourage responsibility and offer opportunities for self-sufficiency.  Once a month, from September—April, Saturday evening through Sunday morning, Faith CRC organizes volunteers to provide overnight shelter for men, women and families at a local church. The spirit of hospitality is a priority, as well as respect for each person. Staff and volunteers provide dinner, breakfast, and a bag lunch, sleeping space and support activities. For more information visit the PADS website.

Shoebox Ministry serves children who are patients at Loyola Children's Hospital. A team from Faith puts together and delivers care packages monthly for children from birth up to age 18.
