Since then, we seek to be a people that shares God's Love, serves one another, and removes barriers to help people see Jesus more clearly. The Cross Church welcomes all to join our weekend gatherings. Our diverse services and ministries aim to introduce people to Jesus and to be a place that offers hope, spiritual growth and belonging.
