How CROP got started
More About CROP and who we are
Who we are
Raising preteens and young teens in today’s culture can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone.
CROP Ministries is a community of parents, grandparents, and mentors. Ordinary people with extraordinary life experience, who are committed to walking alongside families during this crucial season of growth. We’re professionals, homemakers, pastors, teachers, and tradespeople. We’re people of faith who have faced real challenges, made mistakes, found grace, and grown wiser through it all.
Now, we feel called to share what we’ve learned. Our mission is to help guide the next generation through the transition from childhood to young adulthood, not by lecturing, but by offering wisdom, encouragement, and perspective rooted in experience.
Life is a journey best traveled with others. At CROP, we believe that when we come together to share our stories and invest in one another, we make the road a little smoother, not just for our own children, but for many others as well.
Statement of Faith
We believe that the Bible is the only inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
We believe that there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ (John 1:1), in His virgin birth (Matthew 1:18,25), in His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15), in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood (Hebrews 9:15-22), in His bodily resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:1-8), in His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Acts 1:9-11) and in His personal return in power and glory (Hebrews 9:27-28).
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men and women, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential (John 3:16; John 5:24; Titus 3:3-7).
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (John 14:15-26; John 16:5-16; Ephesians 1:13 14).
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: for those who are saved, unto the resurrection of life; for those who are lost, unto the resurrection of separation from God (Matthew 25:31-46; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers and the fellowship of the church in our Lord Jesus Christ (Philippians 2:1-14).

Mark's Testimony
Perhaps my favorite topic of conversation, which never gets tiring or old to me, is hearing about how God transforms a person’s life. What led them to their search for God, how they met Him, and how their life has since been transformed.
