About
What to Expect at Cross Church
The only thing we’ll ask of you is simple; relax. You’re with friends. Whether you’ve been here hundreds of times or just today, whether you’re a seasoned church veteran or you’ve never been in church before, you can anticipate an encouraging and enlightening experience.
Casual Dress-
We encourage you to dress comfortably. We care more about what you get out of the service than what you wear in it!
Practical Teaching-
Tim teaches from the Bible and helps you make practical life applications.
Uplifting Music-
The music is Christian Rock/Contemporary, it is our desire to usher you into God’s presence through songs of praise and worship.
A Place For Your Children-
Your kids will love our Cross Kidz Children's Ministry! We offer biblical teaching, games, interactive skits/plays, crafts, music, and much more.
Café Agape-
Complimentary coffee, cappuccino, orange juice, and snacks.
