Vision and Mission Statements:
Vision Statement:
To inspire a global community through Cross Commissioned, where creativity and faith converge, empowering individuals in law enforcement and beyond to express their stories, heal through the arts, and find purpose in Christ.
Mission Statement:
The mission of Cross Commissioned is to use music, storytelling, and the arts as tools to share testimonies of faith, provide support and encouragement, and lead others to salvation in Christ. Through creative outreach, we aim to foster connection, uplift the brokenhearted, and equip law enforcement officers and other creatives to be a beacon of hope and transformation in their communities.
Who we are:
Cross Commissioned Lyrics was born out of inspiration to create beautiful things from the most unlikely places. A means of self-expression, healing, community and connection in ways never before been explored. A way to showcase the humanity of our heroes in public service. To allow for an entirely new outlet for the stresses and successes of professions where transparency and vulnerability are too often viewed as weaknesses. We believe they are the greatest avenue for growth and healing. We are faith-based and much of what we do points directly back to God, though ministry is only part of our function.
The founder, Corey Kingman, is a 25-year veteran of the Washington State Patrol who is currently a Sergeant in the Yakima region. He has experienced innumerable critical incidents throughout his career and has battled the demons that come with the trials of the job. His healing journey led him to this place where he desires to help craft new pathways for all first responders to experience their own challenges in a healthy and live-giving way.
His wife, Merrick, is an ordained Pastor in the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. She serves as a creative consultant, content editor, and visual production developer. She has spent years of service dedicated to the families of law enforcement officers through various entities, including the Washington State Patrol Spouses Assocation where she recently completed a 4-year term as the Assocation President, and 12 years on the Association’s executive board.
