This Week at Cross Church | Greater Things are Yet to Come
Greater Things are Yet to Come
Beginning this past Sunday, seeds have been planted into thousands of people through Financial Peace University and our teaching series Checking the Gauges of Your Life. Utilizing these things together, I am convinced that greater things are yet to come for thousands of people and hundreds of families. Please engage this Sunday and during the week at the Cross Church campus you attend. Bring others with you. Transformation awaits each of us and our entire fellowship of believers.
Advancing the Gospel
Cross Church is all about the advancement of the gospel of Jesus Christ regionally, nationally, and globally. We are always talking about and planning toward reaching Northwest Arkansas, America, and the world for Jesus Christ. That is why we support thousands of missionaries in North America and across the entire world through our partnership with the Southern Baptist Convention. That is why we are planting so many churches across America and the entire world. That is another reason we are equipping God-called men and women through our Cross Church School of Ministry. We believe in advancing the gospel of Jesus Christ.
49 Full-time Residents in Our Cross Church School of Ministry
The Cross Church School of Ministry is a one-year residential ministry experience that prepares leaders for life, ministry, and gospel advancement globally. Forty-nine ministry residents are currently on our team for one full year. These forty-nine residents have joined us from 10 different states and 3 have joined us from Guadalajara, Mexico. We are preparing 27 men and 22 women for ministry in local churches or missionary experience globally. The Cross Church School of Ministry has an ongoing partnership with 10 academic institutions, where these students can earn hours of credit toward their desired degrees. Pray for Dr. Ed Upton as he leads this ministry for and with us.
Threads 3 Fourteen
Threads 3 Fourteen is a brand new concept store called a thriftique, located at 216 S. 1st Street in downtown Rogers.

Compassion Center
The Compassion Center NWA is located on South Thompson Street in Springdale. The Compassion Center sells a variety of donated gently used and new items available to the community at well-below retail prices. 100% of the profits above overhead are utilized in our Feed the 479 ministry, which regularly offers assistance through our choice food pantry, utilities, clothing, and fuel assistance to help families in our community. Whether you chose to aid Compassion NWA by donating clothing, housewares, food, electronics, furniture, or giving a monetary gift, your generosity is a tangible expression of love that helps your friends and neighbors.

This Week at Cross Church | God is at Work at Cross Church
“How to Navigate Through the Will of God in Your Life” Continues This Sunday!
This past Sunday, we spoke on a compelling subject: How to Navigate Through the Will of God in Your Life. Watch it here. This Sunday, we will stay on this interesting topic and I will share about:
- THE KEYS TO NAVIGATING TOWARD GOD’S WILL
- THE AFFIRMATIONS WE ARE LIVING IN GOD’S WILL
I want to challenge you to not miss this Sunday. This will help us grow and be more of what God wants us to be in our lives. Bring someone with you.
Our 15-week Summer Program of Giving Concludes at the End of Sunday, September 2
The Cross Church Family is nearing the completion of this 15-week financial goal of $6 million. Through this past Sunday, Week 14, we have received $5,683,520. Therefore, we are only $316,480 from reaching this needed and special goal to fund all the ministries through the challenging weeks of the summer from Memorial Day Sunday through Labor Day Sunday. Therefore, let’s pull together, make sure we each give this Sunday regardless of where we are located, and let’s give together at least $316,480. This begins with you and me, honoring the Lord with at least one tenth of all He has entrusted to us. Each gift, small or great in your eyes, is important to God. Thank you for all you have given through this Sunday. You are a phenomenal people of God.
God is at Work Through This Ministry
Did you know that on Wednesday evening, August 22, we had just under 5,000 people involved in all of our ministries? A total of 170 indicated their desire to follow Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord while the others were discipled in their faith. If you would like to be involved in some way on Wednesday night, go to crosschurch.com and view the campus activities.
