What is CrossTown 119?

CrossTown 119 got its name from Psalm 119, which is a chapter in the Bible all about truth and where to find it. It says that the truth of who God is and who we are is found in His Word. We see that students are believing lies about their identity, not even realizing they are lies. Since what we do flows out of who we believe we are, knowing who we are is absolutely crucial to us flourishing. Unfortunately, oftentimes other people are defining who they are in a negative way...the community, social media, family, peers, law enforcement, even teachers. CrossTown 119 is built on rooting students in who God says they are.

Up to this point, CrossTown 119 was only an after school program. In the 2023-24 school year, CrossTown 119 will transition to being one thing: a school with an after school program. We want to go deep with our students.
