This Week at Cross Church
Reflections on Summer Freedom and Fireworks at the Crosses
This past Sunday at Cross Church was incredible. In the morning, we celebrated America and honored our Vietnam veterans and current service members. In the evening, over 10,000 people gathered at our Pinnacle Hills campus for fellowship and to see 69 people follow Christ in baptism, followed by amazing fireworks. It truly is one of my favorite days at Cross Church every year!
We Believe – Sunday, July 5
This Sunday on all campuses, we continue with our We Believe series with “What We Believe – Last Things.” You will not want to miss it.
Beach Camp Update
This past week we had nearly 600 people in Destin, Florida for our annual high school Beach Camp. It was a tremendous week, as we saw 46 students trust Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and we baptized 51 in the ocean. A student at Springdale High School posted on social media, “this feels like the best decision I’ve ever made, and I can’t wait to see where this gets me. I know this is only the beginning, but the commitment I made to serve Him (Christ) is beyond any feeling I’ve ever experienced.” There were 27 students that also committed their life to full time Christian ministry. Thank you church for all your prayers and for supporting our students, leaders and staff. God was honored!
VBX is Coming
Sign your children up now for VBX next week, July 6-9, on all of our campuses. Kids will learn the basics of faith and will do real science projects including rockets, catapults, chemical reactions, plus games, snacks, worship and more. Invite friends and neighbors to attend! You can find more information, including locations, times, and registration here.
Don’t let the summer pass you by without engaging in ministry. God is working! Be part of what He is doing.

This Week at Cross Church | Summer Freedom Sunday is Here!
This coming Sunday is our annual Summer Freedom Sunday at Cross Church!
Each of our services will be filled with spiritual and patriotic songs that will warm the heart. Do not miss it. We will follow with a message about our nation that will be highly relevant for us in this critical season.
A special feature of this year’s program will be the recognition of our Vietnam veterans on the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War.
Please spread the word to all of our veterans, especially those of the Vietnam War. Additionally, we will recognize all veterans and those currently serving in our armed forces. I guarantee you will love these moments on Sunday morning. Do not miss it!
Fireworks At The Crosses of Pinnacle Hills on Sunday Late Afternoon and Evening!
Last year, approximately 10,000 people gathered for this significant, highly patriotic night on the grounds of our Pinnacle Hills Campus. The experience concludes just before dusk with a major patriotic celebration, followed by one of the greatest fireworks shows in Northwest Arkansas! Bring friends with you both in the morning and evening. It will be a terrific day! This is one of my favorite days at Cross Church!
The Schedule for Sunday Afternoon and Evening:
5 p.m. Campus and food vendors open (dinner, dessert, and drink choices available)
7 p.m. BAPTISM AT THE CROSSES. Sign up now if you would like to be baptized.
Following baptism, patriotic celebration followed by fireworks
My Deepest Appreciation to Our Staff Team, Volunteers, and Church
I want to extend my deepest appreciation to our staff team for their work leading up to and at the Southern Baptist Convention. Additionally, our volunteers from choir to technical support to logistics were highly appreciated. For our church that prayed us through this entire past year as President of the Southern Baptist Convention, please know we are highly grateful. Now that I will be serving an additional year as President of the Southern Baptist Convention, please pray me through again. Our lives will never be the same because of all God has done in us this past year. To God alone be the glory!
