This Week at Cross Church | Why Join a Church and For the City
The response has been fabulous to the recent message Why Join A Church: 3 Reasons Why You Should and 3 Reasons Why You Should Not. We preached the message on October 11 at Pinnacle Hills, Springdale, and Neosho, and this past Sunday at both Fayetteville campuses and Cross Church Español.
In these two Sundays on our five campuses through eleven services, God has given our church 472 new members. These new members have come to us in the following ways:
- 74 Profession of Faith and Baptism
- 236 Transfer of Letter
- 162 Statement of Faith
Each of these people have been contacted by our pastors and we are asking them to be part of our Discover Cross Church experience.
While I was away Sunday preaching at Olive Baptist Church in Pensacola, Florida, Dr. Jeff Crawford spoke on the subject of Membership Has its Privileges. If you missed it, please take the time to watch.
Woodlawn
This week, Cross Church rented movie theaters in Fayetteville and Rogers and invited students from across Northwest Arkansas to the movie, Woodlawn. Currently, 1,239 students have seen the movie and we have already seen 281 professions of faith and we have more showings. Please continue to pray for even more students to be saved.
For the City
For the City is this Sunday, October 25. What do we need from you?
- Your personal attendance in worship and small group
- Invite and bring friends and family
- Encourage any first responders you know personally to attend with you
- Join us in recognizing our first responders for their service to our city
- Your support of the ministry not only by attending, inviting, and bringing, but also by praying and giving to the Lord of all He has given to you
It will be a GREAT Sunday so do not miss. This Sunday should be a game-changer for us as a church, but mostly to each of us who attend this Sunday.

This Week at Cross Church | Woodlawn, For the City, and New Strategy at College Avenue Campus
WoodlawnThis Friday, the movie WOODLAWN will be released in theaters nationwide. WOODLAWN is a moving and inspirational new film based on the true story of how love and unity overcame hate and division in the early 1970’s in Birmingham, Alabama. Please take a moment to read what I wrote about this movie earlier this week. Also, take a moment to watch the trailer. Flood the theaters this weekend and in weeks following. Take a friend who needs Christ. It is powerful!
For the City
Please note the importance of Sunday, October 25, as we work toward a huge day on all of our campuses around the theme of For the City. On this day, we will honor all first responders in our region as well as work toward a great attendance of members and non-members in all of our eleven services on our five campuses. Please prioritize this day and ensure your attendance. Bring others with you. Connect people to our small groups and worship services.
New Strategy at Our College Avenue Campus
This past week, Andy Goode and Nick Floyd announced a new strategy at both of our Fayetteville Campuses that we believe will initiate growth and advancement of the gospel in the city of Fayetteville. Rather than me write about this, please take the time to watch a brief explanation of it. I so appreciate the vision of these two men for advancing the gospel to this city.
