Crossing Press is a Christian owned and operated business that grew from a desire to see churches and Christian organizations receive top-quality printing and graphic design work. My name is Joe Supplee and Crossing Press began in 1979.
Here’s how we began… I trusted in Jesus Christ and began a personal relationship with Him in my early 20’s after coming to an understanding of my need for a Savior. At that time, I was excited to get involved with and even develop various ministries within our local church; a sound system ministry, an audio-cassette loan library, co-leading a bible study and even becoming Property Manager for my church. It was an honor and privilege to serve in any way that I could.
During that time, a close friend approached me about starting a printing ministry. His extensive graphic arts background would handle the creative end of things and he felt that I could handle the printing end. After much prayer and spiritual counsel, I left my 9-5 job to start a new company that would bring Christian organizations into the 21st Century with high quality printing and graphics. We began to see the Lord’s hand along the way with the provision of printing equipment as well as various other needs being met. We have experienced a lot of changes over the last several years of ministry and we are grateful for every step along the way. Although our main focus has been Christian organizations, we have a few Christian business owners who requested that we do their printing as well.
In 2017, exciting changes took place for us and our customers. After operating as a privately owned print shop for 38 years, we decided to be a Printing Broker, rather than an Independent Print Shop. This gave us exclusive membership access to Trade Only Printing Industries. This enhanced our ability to service our customers even better, no matter where they are located, saving you time and money while delivering the highest quality products that the print industry can offer.
Every project is different and requires attention to detail; What is the best sheet size to print each item? Should it print Digitally or Offset Lithography? How does the finished piece interact with the end user? What are the bindery and finishing requirements for each piece? What are the variable data printing/direct mail service needs? These are just a few of the concerns associated with each project that can be addressed more efficiently, having partnered with a global network.
With over 40+ years of experience in the industry, we know how to combine the specialties of these resources and deliver quality products on time and on budget.
