Yes. While this facility will advance the mission of Cross Training, it is also designed to serve as a meaningful community asset.

Beyond Cross Training programming, a permanent campus provides consistent, high-quality space that the broader community can utilize for their endeavors. It gives families, coaches, and local organizations a dependable place to gather, collaborate, and build relationships in ways that are often difficult in shared or temporary facilities.

This is not simply a Cross Training building. It is a long-term investment in the social, emotional, and spiritual health of the next generation in our city.

We are planning carefully for long-term sustainability. The campaign is structured to minimize debt and avoid financial strain that would distract from ministry impact. The design prioritizes spaces that directly support core programming while keeping staffing and overhead aligned with responsible growth. In addition, we are developing a clear post-construction operating plan. This will include a realistic facilities budget and diversified revenue streams such as program participation, rentals, partnerships, and continued donor engagement.

This is not about expanding square footage for its own sake. It is about creating a financially responsible platform that multiplies impact and remains sustainable for decades to come.

Yes. Naming opportunities are an important part of the campaign and are designed to honor the
generosity of families, individuals, and organizations.

Legacy opportunities include the Building Name and the Leadership Center Name, both of which anchor the identity and long-term vision of the campus. Individual courts will also be named, representing highly visible spaces where thousands of young athletes will train and grow.

Additional recognition opportunities include Standing Stones, which symbolize lasting legacy and faith, as well as designated spaces such as the kitchen, mezzanine, and foyer tiles. These opportunities allow supporters at various levels to leave a meaningful and permanent mark on the foundation of the facility.

We would be honored to share current availability, giving levels, and how your gift can align with a space that reflects your heart for the mission and your vision for the next generation.

Absolutely! Gifts of appreciated stock are welcomed and can be one of the most strategic ways to support the campaign.

By transferring appreciated securities directly to Cross Training, you may avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation and may also receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the shares, subject to IRS guidelines. This approach often allows you to maximize your impact without reducing your current cash position.

Many leadership-level donors use stock gifts to fulfill significant commitments in a tax-efficient manner. If you are considering a stock gift, we will provide simple transfer instructions and work directly with you or your advisor to ensure the process is smooth, secure, and confidential.

Yes. Multi-year commitments are welcome as we strive to meet our campaign goals.

Many donors pledge a total amount and fulfill it over time, often across 12 to 36 months or longer. This allows you to make a significant commitment without feeling pressure to give it all at once. Pledges can be structured through monthly, quarterly, or annual installments using check, ACH, credit card, stock transfers, donor-advised funds, or other planned giving methods.

This approach allows Cross Training to plan responsibly and move forward with confidence while giving you flexibility to align your generosity with your financial planning. We are happy to help structure a schedule that fits your pace and maximizes your impact.

Yes, when they directly support the facility and clearly strengthen the mission.

In-kind gifts may include materials, equipment, or professional services that reduce project costs or enhance the long-term operation of the building. Construction specifications, timelines, and operational needs are precise, so all in-kind gifts must be reviewed in advance to ensure they are a viable and strategic fit.

If you are considering an in-kind contribution, we would welcome the conversation and help determine the most effective way to apply your generosity.

Waiting carries real risk. Our ministry depends on facility access that is becoming increasingly difficult to secure. As availability tightens, our ability to hold camps, gatherings, discipleship groups, and leadership programming can be reduced quickly and without warning. Losing consistent space does not simply slow growth. It can force programs to pause or stop, directly impacting the students and families we serve.
 

There is also a financial risk in delay. Construction and operating costs rarely decrease, and postponing action can increase the total price of the project. Most importantly, timing matters. The longer we wait, the more our mission risks being limited by access instead of being led by vision.
