Crossfire Volunteers
There are a variety of volunteers from local churches and the community who assist Crossfire with special needs and events throughout the year. Learn more about how you can get involved.
Many of our “1st Generation” who grew up in this ministry volunteer on a regular basis and bless us with their leadership and assistance.
Crossfire Board of Directors
The Crossfire Board of Directors provides invaluable support, leadership, oversight, volunteer efforts, advocacy, and personal encouragement to the staff.
Lane T. Fleming
Board Chair
