Our intention is that people connected to Cross will mature as disciples of Christ by walking with God, growing in faith together, and loving their neighbors. What does this mean? By walking with God, disciples at Cross worship continually, pray persistently, live generously, and both give and receive grace.
By growing in faith together, disciples at Cross experience biblical community, mentor one another, read and respond to God’s Word, and courageously live transformed lives. By loving our neighbors, disciples at Cross have a servant heart, bless others using their unique God-given abilities, and share the truth about Jesus.
As a staff we are here to serve you in any way we can. So don’t hesitate to track any of us down to answer any of your questions or help you get connected into Christian Community at Cross. We are here for you!
We have different mentoring opportunities through which we walk alongside individuals in all walks of life. Our service opportunities are for those interested in walking alongside someone to make a lasting impact for their future.
