Our Mission
Crisis Response Ministry and the Grand Prairie Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association have teamed up with the Grand Prairie Police Department to host a free family fun event. Touch A Truck Grand Prairie is designed to allow citizens of all ages to come together to meet law enforcement in a safe and entertaining setting. Kids of all ages will have the chance to explore police vehicles as well as semi-trucks, tow trucks, construction equipment and much more. Proceeds from donations and sponsorships will be divided upon the Law Enforcement Torch Run For Special Olympics, Crisis Response Ministry and Grand Prairie Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association.
National Faith & Blue Weekend
National Faith & Blue Weekend (Faith & Blue) is a collaborative initiative that builds bridges and reduces biases by facilitating engagement between law enforcement professionals and the communities they serve. Research has shown that non-enforcement engagement of officers and residents is transformative to safety and inclusion.
​
Over a four-day weekend each year, Faith & Blue consists of thousands of locally organized events in all 50 states. These activities include community forums, service projects, unity marches, and hundreds of other initiatives that bring the community together in the spirit of reconciliation.

We exist to minister to our neighbors as an extension of God’s own love and compassion. In times of crisis, we are prepared and readily step forward to comfort others with the comfort we also have received. CRM trains volunteers and coordinates opportunities to help those in crisis. CRM deploys a team of crisis-trained volunteers in areas of disaster as well as personal crisis. By providing physical, emotional and spiritual care - and partnering with other crisis and disaster-focused organizations - we exponentially increase the reach and effectiveness of government agencies. Please visit CrisisResponseMinistry.org for more information on Crisis Response Ministry or to volunteer.
