This Week at Cross Church | Incredible Summer
Summer at Cross Church has been incredible. God has changed many lives of all ages for all of eternity. Without a doubt all that has happened would not have been possible without your willingness to send your kids to camp, volunteer your time at one of our major outreach opportunities, or giving to the financial need. So thank you very much and God be praised! If you would like to give a one-time gift or set up recurring giving, you can do so here.
Time for Refreshment
Jeana and I have prayed for you much this summer and while we miss you, we are grateful for the time away. Please pray for me as I refresh and hear from the Lord on the direction He wants to take Cross Church this fall.
Small Groups
As seasons change and we transition from the activities of summer to fall, we want to look ahead to the joy and excitement of our new church year, beginning with small groups. If you are not currently engaged in a small group, fall is a great time to get plugged in. We have small group options on each campus for spiritual growth and building community. Do not miss out on this important opportunity for you and your family.
Leadership Launch
We always need volunteers at Cross Church. If you currently volunteer in any area, thank you! And if you feel God’s call to volunteer in any area from preschool to senior adults, we need you. Our Leadership Launch is just for you! Mark your calendar for these dates and look for more details to come.

Thank you Cross Church,

This Week at Cross Church | Because of You, Cross Church
Summer has been phenomenal at Cross Church. The Gospel has been taken to the nations, lives have been changed at home and across the world, and it’s all because of you!
Kids Camp
In June, our Children’s Ministries took 152 children to camp. They not only had a great time, but learned about God’s love for them. 27 children will now spend eternity in heaven because they accepted Christ at Kids Camp. To God be the glory! 
Beach Camp
Our Student Ministries from all five campuses took 634 high school students to Beach Camp. It was a phenomenal week of strong messages and growing in the Lord. 83 students accepted Christ as their personal Lord and Savior at Beach Camp. Praise the Lord! 
Fireworks/Baptism at the Crosses
Our annual Fireworks and Baptism at the Crosses saw approximately 7,500 people gather at our Pinnacle Hills Campus. We celebrated not only our nation’s birthday, but the baptism of 63 people to the glory of God! This is always such a special day for our Cross Church Family, and I am grateful for it. 
Middle School Camp
Our Student Ministries from all five campuses took 329 middle school students to camp. They had a great week of challenging messages and opportunities to grow in the Lord. To the glory of God, 14 students gave their lives to Christ at camp and will never be the same. 
VBX
Across our five campuses, 1,909 children attended VBX and discovered the treasure of God’s work. 94 of those children made professions of faith, to the glory of God! We are so grateful for the opportunity to minister to children and families through VBX. 
IMPACT Clubs
All summer, our local IMPACT Clubs have been operating at full speed. We have eight different locations across Northwest Arkansas, and have seen 2,055 people in attendance. I am beyond thankful for this ministry that reaches our own communities with the Gospel of Christ. 
Mission Trips
Cross Church has reached the world this summer as well. We have sent 90 people on five different trips, nationally and internationally. We will not stop until every nation and people group has heard the gospel. 
ALL IN
This could not happen without you, Cross Church Family. Your faithfulness to give of your time, talents, and treasures to the glory of God is the only reason any of this has been able to happen. Let’s finish the summer strong. We must all be faithful in our giving, even when we are elsewhere. There are five ways to give, and you can sign up for recurring giving here. Thank you for being ALL IN to the glory of God!
Now is the Time to Lead,
