This Week at Cross Church
Today, we are finishing up our annual Staff Advance, where we gather the Cross Church staff for a time of focused planning, staff development, and worship. It gives me great joy to serve with the staff of Cross Church, and I look forward to this special time each year. We always return with renewed focus on our missional vision to reach Northwest Arkansas, America, and the world for Jesus Christ.
Immigration: What the Bible Says About It

Summer Program of Giving… Summer of Hope
We have only a few weeks left in our Summer Program of Giving…Summer of Hope. Have you honored God this summer with all He has given you? If you need to catch up from being away or would like to set up automated giving, you can do so online here, or bring your gift with you to church on Sunday. It is because of your faithfulness to give that we have seen changed lives this summer in Northwest Arkansas, America, and the world. But we must finish strong!
Yours for the Great Commission,

This Week at Cross Church | Some Great Things That Have Happened This Summer
We have seen some great things this summer at Cross Church! What a joy it has been to look back at what God has done and see how our Cross Church family has been sharing the love of Christ all over Northwest Arkansas, America, and the world.
- During VBX, Cross Church hosted over 1,600 children, with 114 accepting Christ!
- 217 middle school students served in the Dallas area with Mission Arlington.
- 326 high school students traveled to Florida for camp, where they experienced a time of personal growth, praise, and worship. Between these two ministries, 65 accepted Christ and 18 surrendered to the gospel ministry.
- At our Fireworks at the Crosses event, over 10,000 people attended from across Northwest Arkansas, and I had the personal privilege to baptize 99 people.
We praise God for all He has already done this summer, but there is still more to do. Let’s finish the summer strong by continuing to give faithfully, even while you are away. Following us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram is easy, and a great way to see your giving and ministry in action.
Yours for the Great Commission,
