Who We Are
About Crossway Mission
An English-speaking, non-denominational, evangelical community with people from many nations - in the heart of Seoul, Korea.
The Olive Tree
But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God.
The olive tree is one of the most vivid and enduring metaphors in Scripture. We hope to always be like a green olive tree in the House of God - thriving, persevering, and grafted into our Messiah Yeshua.
Read the symbolism
Resilient roots: the olive tree is a picture of perseverance. Even after drought, disease, or fire, life can return when the root remains.
Grafted into Messiah: a wild branch can be grafted into a cultivated olive tree and begin to bear fruit. In the same way, we depend on Yeshua as our root and life.
Growing as one: young olive shoots, sometimes called netzrim, grow up around the mature tree and become joined to it. We want to remain close to the Lord, grow in Him, and become fruitful in His house.
Psalm 52:8
