About Us

Cross Culture is a church that longs to reflect the community around us. We work vigorously at creating a safe space for those who are hurting and in need of God’s comforting hand. There are no perfect people found at Cross Culture. We aim to be honest about ourselves knowing we are all sinners desperately in need of God’s saving grace. We equip disciples of Jesus to be able to engage our community so that through relationships they can evangelize the lost and then disciple other Christ-followers. We encourage disciples to pursue maturity through discipleship that affects our lives spiritually, financially, and emotionally so that every person can share the Gospel with others in their sphere of influence - that reaches the ends of the earth.


Our values shape the DNA of Cross Culture Church and influence everything we do. They are divided into three categories: organizational, team, and behavioral.

Our Values

Our vision and values are deeply rooted in the Gospel, bringing together individuals from various backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, political affiliations, and languages.

Gospel-centered

This value impacts everything Cross Culture Church does and is. Remaining Gospel-centered in an ever-changing world is challenging, but it provides a foundation to navigate this changing world. The Gospel is the lens through which everything is seen and experienced, influencing every team and behavioral value.

Diversity

We are a diverse church intentionally because the Gospel is for everyone. We value the diversity within the body of Christ and believe we are better together than separated. Our diversity reflects the inclusiveness of the Gospel and enriches our community.

Engaged, Not Just Informed

Though an elder-led church, we value the input of our members and involve them in significant decision-making processes. We strive for active engagement rather than passive information dissemination, ensuring our members feel connected and valued.

Our church structure is Jesus-ruled; elder-led; and congregationally-engaged.

Clear Communication

Given our diverse community and various language barriers, clear communication is essential. This value helps us avoid unclarified expectations, which can lead to hurt and confusion. We strive for transparency and clarity in all our communications.

Community Engagement

We value building a community that is engaged both within our congregation and with the local community. This two-pronged approach fosters relationships and encourages outreach, reflecting our commitment to living out the Gospel together.

Mutual Service

In our diverse church, individuals labor to serve each other rather than seeking their self-interest. This value is rooted in the Gospel and Jesus' example in Philippians 2:1-11. We aim to embody Christ-like service in all our interactions.

Being with God Before Doing for God

We prioritize our relationship with God above our activities for God. This value helps us serve out of our relationship with God, preventing burnout and ensuring our service is sustainable and spiritually grounded.

Our Beliefs

We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.

  • The Trinity

    We believe there is one living and true God, who eternally exists in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in the Father, maker of all that is seen and unseen. We believe He providentially upholds and governs the universe according to His good purposes. He is Father to those who become children of God through faith in Jesus Christ.


    We believe in His only Son, Jesus Christ, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin, Mary. We believe He existed bodily on this earth, fully God and fully man. Jesus perfectly revealed and did the will of God, taking upon Himself human nature with its demands and necessities and identifying Himself completely with mankind yet without sin. We believe He was crucified for our sins. He died and was buried; He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven and is exalted at the right hand of God where He is the Mediator bringing reconciliation between God and man. We believe in His personal and future return to the earth; He will someday judge the living and the dead. We believe there is no other name under heaven by which men and women can be saved.


    We believe in the Holy Spirit, who empowers and encourages all who believe for daily Christian living. He indwells believers, convicts concerning sin, and illumines the Scriptures. He inspired holy men of old to write the Scriptures. He enables men to understand truth and calls them to the Savior. He empowers the believer and the church in worship, discipleship, evangelism, and service.

  • The Bible

    We believe the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's inerrant revelation of Himself to man. It contains the Old and New Testaments, the inspired word of God, without error. It reveals the principles by which God will judge us and therefore is our standard by which all human conduct, creeds and opinions should be tried. It is our source for teaching and equipping Christians for a life of righteousness.

  • The passion of Christ is for all people

    We believe that the passion of Christ is for all people of the world to be saved. All human beings were created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him but became alienated from that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, humanity is totally incapable of coming back into a right relationship with God by one's own effort. Only the grace of God can bring man into His holy fellowship and enable man to fulfill the creative purpose of God. The sacredness of humanity is evident in that God created man in His own image, and in that Christ died for man; therefore, every person of every race possesses full dignity and is worthy of respect and Christian love.

  • Salvation

    We believe salvation (eternal life) is a free gift offered to mankind via the grace of God; that the dead will be resurrected bodily and the believer raised to eternal life. Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.

  • Unity Among Believers

    We believe that the prayer of Jesus Christ (John 17) declares unity among believers to be the greatest expression of God's love for the world and the greatest witness to it of the fact that He, Himself, is Messiah.

  • The Church

    We believe that the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus is the Head. The purpose of the church is to gather believers to honor God by being a powerful witness for Jesus Christ in a lost world through unity among believers, people of varying ethnicity and economic means. Together they pursue God as one to extend the Gospel to the ends of the earth. We practice two ordinances in the church instituted by Christ Himself: water baptism and communion. The New Testament speaks also of the Church as the Body of Christ which includes all of the redeemed of all the ages, believers from every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.
