Missions

Carrie grew up in Central Oregon before moving to the Eastern Shore of Virginia during her gap year between high school and college. During her time in Virginia, she started volunteering with youth ministry for the first time. She loved investing in students and being a part of a team that was committed to seeing those students know the love of Jesus. After her time in Virginia, Carrie moved to Michigan to pursue her bachelor’s degree at Hillsdale College.
It is no surprise that when Carrie was looking for a place to serve during college that she was drawn to another youth ministry: Crossroads Farm. Carrie started to volunteer with Crossroads Farm in the spring of 2016 as a Leadteam Coach. She was impressed by the model of ministry, the dedication of the volunteers and staff, and fell in love with the community, especially her care cell of girls. What was surprising was that after serving at Crossroads Farm all four years of college, Carrie felt God telling her that she wasn’t finished there yet.
Carrie graduated from Hillsdale College in 2019 and immediately began the process of joining the CRF staff. She served as a Program Associate for two years at CRF The Shed. Then God surprised her again by calling her to Harrison County, Ohio to serve as the Administrative Director of CRF The Mine. Carrie moved to Harrison County in August of 2022. She is thrilled to work full-time in a ministry that she cares so much about and to see firsthand more lives changed.
One of Carrie’s favorite verses is Ephesians 2:10 because it reminds her that we are created beautifully by God with purpose. Carrie enjoys connecting with people, helping them connect with God and with each other, baking, planning parties, playing games, and showing hospitality.
