Power Cross Ministry

What Power Cross Ministry does

Power Cross Ministries is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2006 by Jeff and Natalie Storment, headquartered in Statesville, North Carolina, that delivers a daily Christian discipleship and athletics program to over 350 young men ages 7-22 drawn from communities experiencing generational poverty. The ministry operates two physical campuses — the main facility at 1133 W. Front St. in Statesville and a second site at 314 N. Ellis St. in Salisbury — with a dedicated football stadium built in 2022 and structured year-round programming (50 weeks per year) segmented by age cohort: Mighty Mites/Junior Varsity (ages 7-10), Varsity (ages 11-13), High School (ages 14-18), and Transitional/Young Adult (ages 19-22). Program components include daily Bible study, athletic training across football, wrestling, basketball, and baseball, transportation, academic tutoring, ACT/SAT preparation, college recruiting support, vocational training, summer job placement, and life-skills coaching.

The business model is donation-based, supplemented since May 2024 by an earned-revenue food service operation. Power Cross accepts charitable contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations, including stock, donor-advised fund, land, and vehicle gifts, with a published "cost to support" framework of $3,000-$7,500 per young man per year depending on age group. The Power Cross Cafe, a wholly-owned restaurant subsidiary acquired in May 2024, serves breakfast and lunch from a Statesville location and directs all proceeds to ministry operations. Distribution is direct-to-family through physical campus attendance, supported by community-led marketing via Facebook, Instagram, email newsletter, word-of-mouth referrals, and community revival events. The organization reports a lean team of 9 employees, holds the Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency as of 2026, and is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2026, with a publicly stated vision to replicate the campus model in additional U.S. cities.

Direct peers

• Athletes in Action: Campus Crusade-affiliated sports ministry that integrates athletics and Christian formation for student-athletes — directly comparable in fusing sports and faith-based mentoring.
• WinShape Foundation: Chick-fil-A-founded nonprofit combining camps, mentoring, and faith-based youth development with sports; very close to Power Cross's integrated sports/discipleship/mentoring model.
• Youth for Christ: Faith-based nonprofit engaging at-risk youth through local chapters with mentoring and discipleship; matches Power Cross's regional-chapter, volunteer-driven delivery to underserved teens.
• Dare2Share: Faith-based youth organization delivering discipleship, mentoring, and evangelism training to teen audiences — comparable faith-based youth ministry model with similar donor funding approach.
• CRU (Cru - formerly Campus Crusade for Christ): National parachurch movement focused on college and youth faith development and discipleship; addresses the same donor-funded faith-based youth demographic as Power Cross.
• Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA): The most directly comparable peer: a national faith-based organization that integrates Christian discipleship with athletics for student-athletes, matching Power Cross's core 'practice hard, pray harder' model.
• Young Life: Large faith-based youth ministry combining relational outreach, mentoring, and discipleship for adolescents — comparable segment, mission, and donor-driven nonprofit model to Power Cross.

Broad incumbents

• Big Brothers Big Sisters of America: National mentoring nonprofit pairing youth with adult role models — overlapping with Power Cross's mentoring/life-skill pillar but operating at much greater scale.
• Boys & Girls Clubs of America: National youth development nonprofit serving at-risk youth through athletic, academic, and mentoring programs at club locations; comparable operations but secular and much larger footprint.

Emerging players

• Young Heroes: Smaller faith-rooted nonprofit mentoring at-risk youth through sports and discipleship — narrower geographic reach, similar integrated approach as Power Cross.
