Our Mission
Give every teen in our community an opportunity to experience Christ in a non-threatening environment.
Our Vision
Declare to teens in our community, “This place is for you!” We value your partnership. We care about you. We will do whatever necessary to insure the Café will always be a safe place for you and your friends. Together, we will model positive relationships at the CrossWord Café/Chillicothe Youth Center.
Our History
The CrossWord Café/Chillicothe Youth Center is patterned after a Christian coffee house concept successfully pioneered by former Chillicothe youth pastor Brent Ressler, whose monthly program quickly outgrew the home basement where it was started and confirmed the need for an area teen center. In August 2001, after receiving support from several area churches, civic leaders and community organizations, the CrossWord Café/Chillicothe Youth Center opened the doors to our current location in downtown Chillicothe. Since then the Café has added activities, programs, and events for area youth. The CrossWord Café/Chillicothe Youth Center is a non-profit organization that continues to be supported by individuals, churches, Christian ministries and community organizations.
