Crosscut is an Impact Ministry to show God's love.

Our Mission:
Our mission is to help those in need with the physical maintenance of their homes, while showing the love of Christ and praying for the families we help, both within the family of Wellspring and beyond.  All work is provided by volunteers at no cost to the homeowner.

Our Goal:
At Crosscut we are always looking to help as many families that we can.  Our goal is to maintain high-quality levels of workmanship and integrity while providing the best experience possible.

Our History:
Crosscut Ministry started in 2008 by Chris Knapp as a 1 person mission to help those he came across that needed help with their homes. As time went on, many folks came along side to help with this mission and brought with them a vast amount of knowledge and wisdom. Since the start of Crosscut, the needs of families has grown in numbers and complexity, Crosscut continues to strive to meet that growth with the same values it started with, high quality workmanship, integrity and a heart to show God's love for people.

Workmanship:
We take great strides at Crosscut Ministry to ensure that all work we perform is completed by someone that is qualified at professional standard. In any skilled job, we will always have an individual that has vast knowledge in that area. We like to get the job done right the first time.

Integrity:
We view integrity as key aspect in what we do. We strive to say what we mean and mean what we say. If we say we can get something done, then we try our best to meet that promise.  We do want to be clear though, we are not perfect and mistakes do happen. When and if it happens, we will do our best to correct it.

Showing God’s love:
We show God’s love by treating all families and individuals with respect, honesty, empathy and compassion.  We know there is a lot happening in the world and we can’t provide all the answers to every situation, but ougr goals include can showing people that they are loved and not alone.

Our Team Members:
All the work preformed is completed by Team Members who volunteer their time to help a family in need.

Our Team Members have a vast array of skills and talent. Some are professional carpenters, plumbers or electricians; while others just love to paint, landscape or work on demolition.

There are far too many talents to list here, but the one thing they all have in common is the heart to help someone in need. It doesn’t matter how old or how young, expert or novice...it’s where the heart is that truly makes a difference in the lives of the families we help.

Celebrate Mount Pleasant (Annual Event):
Mount Pleasant is a large low income housing community in New Britain, Connecticut. It’s original purpose was to bring families closer together as a community, but over the last few decades has lost that hope and vision.

Our purpose in Mount Pleasant is to work with the families and the New Britain Housing Authority to create an environment that is safe and attractive while building relationships and hope with all the families.

Once a year, Crosscut holds an event called “Celebrate Mount Pleasant” where we team up with the residents and the NBHA to beautify the community by painting murals, planting flowers, adding playground equipment and much, much more.  On average we have around 320 people that take part in serving the community during this day.

How can I request help?
Call or email us and we will be in contact with you to go over details on how to receive help. Please allow us at least a week for us to respond to your original request.

How can I help?
Team Members are always needed to help with repairs at a family’s home. You don’t need to know how to swing a hammer to help...just a heart wanting to serve.

Supplies and materials are always appreciated. We are always in need of a vast array of tools and supplies. Contact us to receive details on how to go about this.

Monetary donations are also welcome. We want to provide the families with all the necessary repairs at no cost, so we look for donations to help with that goal. You can donate on line at wellspring.net or make checks out to Wellspring with Crosscut Ministry in the memo line. Contact us with any questions.
