Love In Action
Love In Action is our Crossroads' Jail Ministry that works with, not only incarcerated persons, but also their family members. Love In Action assists families of incarcerated persons during the holiday season by providing gift cards and other tangible expressions of encouragement.
Crossroads provides church services twice a month to those incarcerated at the Santa Clara County Main Jail. The services provide encouragement and support to those incarcerated through ministry from God’s Word and worship. Crossroads believes that our volunteer chaplains have a calling to share the love of Christ with those behind bars. All chaplains are screened and cleared to work in the facility alongside the Corrections staff.
In addition, Crossroads has a ministry to the youth at the William F. James Ranch Probation Center. Our team serves the youth that have made unfortunate choices and find themselves in probation. The team provides them with ministry from the Word of God, life skills, personal counseling, and hope through positive Christian role models.
