Mother’s Day This Sunday

Join us on all Cross Church campuses this Sunday for Parent/Child Dedication and as we honor all moms. Look for photo booths on your campus for a free family photo.

Cross Church Together on Sunday, May 19, at Bud Walton Arena, University of Arkansas

Right now, mark your calendar for Sunday, May 19, at 9:30 a.m. at Bud Walton Arena on the campus of the University of Arkansas. All eleven worship services from our four campuses will combine together in this wonderful arena for the purpose of worshiping God together. Childcare will be provided for birth through pre-K. Kindergarten through senior adults will join us in worship. We want the children to be part of this legacy service.

This Will be My Final Message as Your Senior Pastor. Toward the Conclusion of Worship, I Will Hand Over the Leadership of This Great Church to Dr. Nick Floyd as Your New Senior Pastor.

After thirty-two years and seven months, my role as your Senior Pastor will conclude. Only three times in the last sixty-six years has Cross Church called a new Senior Pastor. Two weeks ago, our church voted on Dr. Nick Floyd as my successor as recommended by the Board of Directors of our church. He was overwhelmingly affirmed. Toward the final part of the service, I will hand over the leadership of our great church to Dr. Nick Floyd. Then, Pastor Nick will lead the church to commission me from our church as I take on my new calling as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee on Monday, May 20. You will not go even one second without a pastor and leader in our church.

Bring Family, Friends, and Anyone Interested to This One-of-a-Kind Worship Service

Let’s bring hundreds and hundreds of people with us on May 19 for the 9:30 a.m. worship service at Bud Walton Arena. Churches in Northwest Arkansas, come join us, we would love to have you.

Recap of the National Gathering of the National Day of Prayer, 2019

Government cannot fix us. Politics cannot heal us. But loving one another can change the world.

Do you believe that? I do. Millions of others who joined me on the National Day of Prayer to pray for America believe it as well. Watch the recap of our National Observance held in Statuary Hall of the Capitol Building and pray for America with us. (You can see the full service here.) Begin planning now to join a prayer gathering on the next National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 7, 2020.
